ENTRY DOORS The Learning Center There are two primary reasons for investing in a new entry door or entryway system. The most obvious is energy savings. Most existing old wood doors are warped and poorly weather-stripped, making them extremely energy inefficient. Another reason for investing in a new door is appearance. Today’s modern door systems are great looking, especially those with decorative glass. As much as a new entry door system will dramatically improve the appearance of the outside of your home, it will also make it an attractive focal point on the inside. The variety of handcrafted glass patterns with caming and individual pieces of cut and textured glass will make your entire entryway sparkle as the sun filters through it. A new door will help make your home look younger. Since your entryway is the focal point of your home, it’s critical to select the right style, color, finish, glass configuration and hardware options to fit your home’s architectural characteristics. The right door can essentially eliminate the periodic maintenance required by traditional doors. New doors and entryways can be made of wood, steel and fiberglass. Wood doors are losing favor because of their inherent maintenance issues. Steel doors are now the most popular. Better quality steel doors have high performing baked-on finishes, plus a wide range of color, graining, threshold and frame depth options. The major advantages of fiberglass doors are the deep grain patterns, raised beaded molding and deep profiles which provide the warmth seen in sophisticated homes.     1.
