Why Fiberglass Wins for Most Homes

Fiberglass is the best all-around choice — it’s tough, energy-efficient, and can convincingly mimic wood grain without the maintenance. It won’t rot, warp, rust or crack in our humidity and heat.

When Steel or Wood Fit

Steel is great for security and value with a solid insulated core. Wood is unmatched for a custom, high-end look, though it needs more upkeep to stand up to sun and moisture. See our doors page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fiberglass is the best all-around — tough, energy-efficient, low-maintenance and can look like wood. Steel is great for security and value; wood for a custom high-end look.

Steel is very secure and budget-friendly; fiberglass is more resistant to dents, rust and weather and insulates well. Both are strong choices.

They’re beautiful but need more upkeep against sun and humidity. A good overhang and finish help; many homeowners choose fiberglass for the look with less maintenance.

Insulated fiberglass and steel doors both insulate far better than an old hollow or worn door, especially with good weatherstripping.
