Your front door is more than just an aesthetic choice. It’s also your first line of defense against unwanted intruders.
Choosing the right entry doors for your Utah home requires more than just style preference. Weather-resistant materials, frame strength and durability, and energy efficiency are all essential considerations. Top-rated brands invest in materials engineering, climate testing and design flexibility to provide homeowners with an optimal door solution.
Fiberglass
Fiberglass front doors don’t warp, rot or rust like wood entry doors do and they require little maintenance to keep them looking nice. Their durability makes them a popular choice for homeowners who prioritize longevity in their front door.
They also boost home energy efficiency by reducing air transfer, lowering monthly energy costs for homeowners. And unlike wood, fiberglass resists pests like termites and carpenter ants.
Choose from a wide range of styles, including options that look just like real wood and sleek, modern fiberglass entry doors with glass panels and unique hardware. You can also add sidelites or a transom for a custom entry door that complements your home’s architecture.
Wood
A new front door can transform your home’s appearance and improve its energy efficiency. But choosing the right material requires balancing aesthetics, durability, security, and climate-specific performance. Epic Windows + Doors helps Utah homeowners choose the best entry door for their property and lifestyle.
Wood doors are beautiful, but they can be vulnerable in snow-heavy climates. They must be properly sealed to prevent moisture damage and warping, and they may not insulate as well as other options.
Therma-Tru and Jeld-Wen fiberglass doors are sturdier than wood, and they have insulated cores that resist heat loss. These factors make them a smart choice for Salt Lake City homes in extreme weather conditions. Steel doors are another durable option, and galvanized or factory-finished options resist rust.
Steel
A new steel entry door can boost a home’s curb appeal and offer improved security while boosting property values. Top-tier brands invest in materials engineering and climate-specific testing for durability and energy performance.
Embrace the contemporary appearance of a sleek panel design with premium hardware to elevate your modern Salt Lake City home. These doors come rot-resistant with composite frames to deliver longevity and long-term durability.
Choose Kolbe doors for a beautiful blend of luxury, strength and architectural refinement. These doors are a favorite for custom homes and can be fully customized to accommodate unique trim details, oversized openings and glass panel configurations.
Commercial stainless-steel front doors deliver durability and security for office buildings, restaurants and other commercial spaces in Salt Lake City. We can provide fire-rated doors, hollow metal doors and frames, metal vision lites and commercial door hardware for code compliance.
Stained Glass
Enhance the beauty of your front door with decorative glass panels. These beautiful options allow natural light to flood your entryway and add unique character to your home. They also make a bold statement and boost your property value.
Choose a custom glass shape that complements your home’s architectural style and personal tastes. Your local expert can create detailed design renderings to help you explore possibilities. Tempered and laminated glass are durable options that reduce heat loss during Utah’s cold winters. Frosted and beveled glass offer privacy without compromising natural light.
Ask your provider about installation timelines and costs. They can provide upfront pricing and ensure your front door is measured accurately to avoid delays or problems during installation. They can also guide you through compliance with local building codes and homeowner association covenants.
Sidelites & Transoms
Front doors with sidelights and transom windows create a striking entrance that bathes your entryway in natural light. They work well with many architectural styles, including craftsman, Georgian, and colonial. Extensive options for glass, panels, and finishes allow you to select a look that matches or complements your front door.
Sidelights are narrow, vertical windows that stand to either side of an exterior door. Transom windows are taller and sit above a door, often matching the door height.
Choose a vendor that offers a wide range of glass options for front doors with sidelights and transoms. Add textured or decorative glass for privacy or to accent your front door colors. Different shaped transom windows are also available to lend character to your entryway. They can echo the shape of your roof, highlight the ceiling of your foyer or even accentuate your doorway arch.
