A new front door can enhance a home’s curb appeal, increase its value, and improve security. Comparing door material options helps you choose the right balance of style, durability, and cost. A new iron door, for example, adds charm and elegance while offering serious resistance to forced entry, discouraging burglars before they even reach the property.
Wood
Wood doors are a classic choice for boosting home beauty. Crafted from solid firs or walnuts, they feature fine, close-grained surfaces that take a stain well and resist shrinking, swelling, or cracking. They’re also a wise investment, since they typically recover most of their cost when it comes time to sell.
For a look that blends timeless quality with modern lines, we offer clean, geometric wood door designs that complement contemporary and city-style homes alike. If you love blurring the lines between indoors and out, consider a French door or hybrid folding sliding system for your patio. They’re well suited to our Intermountain West climate and provide an attractive way to access your garden, deck, or backyard.
Glass
Front doors with glass are a common sight in northern Utah homes, adding beauty to an entryway and boosting curb appeal. With endless customization options, a custom glass door is a great way to make a statement and reflect your style.
You can adorn a glass door with stained or carved glass to create an elegant work of art, or choose frosted or fogged glass for a more traditional, private look.
A quality glass door adds a modern appearance to your home while still providing the security you need. These doors also let more natural light into a room, preserve privacy with the right glass treatment, and can help protect your interior from UV exposure. They pair especially well with hybrid folding and sliding door systems that blur the line between indoors and out, making your living space more versatile.
Metal
A beautiful front door enhances a home’s curb appeal and boosts its value, especially when you’re planning to sell. Iron and metal entry doors provide real strength and security, deterring burglars from attempting to gain entry.
We offer metal entry doors constructed from durable steel materials, designed for single or double door openings in a range of styles. Our door installation team fits every metal door precisely to your existing frame, and these doors resist dents and warping far better than wood, holding up to years of daily use while maintaining their appearance.
Steel
A door is one of the first things guests notice about your home, and a great entry door can boost curb appeal and increase property value. It also needs to be strong enough to stand up to daily wear and tear and Utah’s harsh seasonal weather.
A steel door is made of one of the strongest available materials and can hold up to nearly anything Mother Nature throws at it. It won’t rust, rot, or warp, and it’s also energy efficient. Look for ENERGY STAR certified steel doors to help keep your heating and cooling costs down. According to Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs. Value Report, steel entry door upgrades consistently rank among the more cost-effective home improvement projects.
Aluminum
With clean, simple lines and a modern design, aluminum doors integrate beautifully into contemporary home facades. They’re durable, low maintenance, and offer strong energy efficiency, making them a great option for homeowners who want a sleek look without sacrificing performance.
Boost your home’s security and curb appeal with a double or single aluminum door set, customized with oversized panels, decorative glass, or upgraded hardware for a beautiful, welcoming entrance. Our entry door replacement team can walk you through which material and style best suits your home, or explore our full range of replacement doors if you’re updating more than one entry point.
