Front entry doors make a significant difference in your home’s appearance, value and security. Upgrading to a new door not only beautifies your house but also helps insulate it from the elements, lower your utility bills and provide you with more comfort.
Choose from a wide range of styles and materials, including durable fiberglass, steel and sturdy wood. You can also choose from a variety of colors to match your style and architecture.
Wood
Wood doors are a popular option for front doors as well as secondary entrances like patio doors and side access doors. They add a warm, classic look and are available in a wide variety of styles to fit your home’s design. Many of our exterior door styles are crafted from premium, durable woods like cherry and walnut. These species of wood offer unique grain patterns that are perfectly suited to staining and finishing.
Cedar is another beautiful species of wood that can be used for front entry doors. It is known for its ability to resist rot and decay and it has a natural oil in it that repels insects. This wood also holds its finish very well. Cedar is not considered a threatened or endangered species of tree and Doors by Decora is committed to purchasing this wood from sustainable sources.
Knotty alder is another great choice for an exterior front door. It has a straight texture and pronounced grain, but it also has areas of burl clusters and small knots that give it a rustic, old-looking style. This wood is also very dense and durable. It has a rich, dark color that is beautiful when stained and can fade somewhat to a purple shade with exposure to sunlight.
Steel
Upgraded exterior doors increase your home’s beauty, security and value. In fact, real estate agents report that the quality of a door’s appearance correlates with the speed at which a home sells. You’ll recover much of the cost of an upgraded front door when you sell your home, so it is an excellent investment.
A beautiful door can also provide privacy and improve energy efficiency. Many of the new front doors available today have windows built into them, adding natural light and artistic beauty. You can even add sidelight windows or a small, curved window above your entry door.
For a dramatic look that blurs the lines between inside and outside, consider a hybrid bi-fold or multi-slide system. These are perfect for Utah’s temperate climate and can transform your indoor/outdoor living spaces. These systems are also a great choice for patios and backyard pools. They are durable, low maintenance and offer an impressive range of customization options.
Aluminum
The right front door sets the stage for your home, bringing beauty, safety and value. On the other hand, an old unattractive entry door can devalue your home, make it look unkempt and invite crime to your doorstep. Fortunately, new exterior doors are more affordable than ever. Today’s selection includes products that provide a range of styles and materials to match any taste. Choose a sleek new design to modernize your house or go back in time with the look of slate or wood shake. For a dramatic effect, consider hybrid folding doors or multi-slide designs that blur the line between indoors and out.
