Who's That Knocking On My Wooden Door?

Are you looking at getting a new front door for your home? Is that aluminum and glass door worn out and looking old to you? Well take a step back in the past and consider getting a wooden door! That's right!, wood is back and looking good. Going away are the doors made of fiberglass or metal. New technology is giving us wooden doors that are just as weather resistant and providing as strong a security as those fiberglass and metal doors have. 

Older homes shift, that's not secret. Existing homes can be hard to fit for doors, they aren't always the exact same measurements as the pre-hung fiberglass and metal doors. Wood doors are easier to customize for the exact, perfect fit.

Manufactures tried, but they just didn't quite make those fiberglass and metal doors look as good as wooden doors. When wood is used, the grain changes and each cut can give a door just a little different look. They are easier to add glass designs to as well. A fancy cut glass window will look much better in a wooden door than a metal door.

Wood is a lasting beauty too. Fiberglass and metal can turn color with age, usually a yellowish color, making your home look older. In the past, the winning argument was that wooden doors needed more maintenance, but that’s not the  case today. Manufacturers have stepped up to the plate and offer us a better quality door that is almost maintenance free and still has the rich beauty that only wood can offer a home.

When it comes time to order your new front door, remember that going with wood, you will need to allow more time than you would with the fiberglass or metal door. They are custom ordered to fit your home's specific size need. While your new wooden door will still need some maintenance, remember the beauty, longevity and  individuality it will bring to your home.
