The patio and the exterior of your house are what you notice from the outside, but a crucial aspect is your home’s front door, which is the first thing visitors encounter upon arrival—the main entryway. It’s essential to create a remarkable first impression with an impressive entrance to welcome your guests. Many doors available for purchase today are designed for short-term use, such as wooden doors that deteriorate over time and are susceptible to moisture and heat, along with fragile vinyl or aluminum doors. These options do not create an inviting appearance when you come home.
Steel doors exemplify the blend of beauty, security, and longevity necessary to withstand harsh weather conditions and ensure safety. If they incorporate glass, it can be laminated glass, which offers UV protection, noise reduction, and enhanced security against intruders compared to single or double-layer glass.
The glass may consist of dual-pane tempered glass for optimal energy efficiency or laminated (impact-resistant) with a clear, rain, or frosted finish for added privacy.
The most prevalent kind of steel front doors for homes are pivot doors, which offer a more modern look, along with various steel windows and doors.
Before you purchase and install your new steel front door, make sure it has all of these important features:
It should be made of steel sourced from America or Mexico of the highest quality.
Premium automotive paint is applied, and if you live near the coast, a zinc layer is advisable to provide additional corrosion protection.
A steel jamb and threshold are needed for minimal maintenance, avoiding wood that demands painting and is susceptible to moisture damage.
Heavy-duty steel hardware and hinges should be welded onto the door, rather than screwed in, and any screws used should be of stainless steel.
Thermally broken steel is essential to ensure that the metal does not become too hot to touch and does not transfer too much heat into your home.
