Whether you are replacing your front or back door, an exterior door is a big purchase that should be considered an investment on your home. As well as being a reflection of your property, it also shields you and your family from outside weather conditions and protects them from intruders. Trying to meet this balance of security and design is a key element when purchasing a quality exterior door that will serve your home for many years to come.
In today’s post, Euroseal Windows and Doors will be looking at what essential things a homeowner needs to know before they have their exterior doors replaced.
Steel doors are one of the most popular exterior doors on the market in Canada. They are durable doors that can withstand changing weather conditions and require only a little maintenance every now and then.
More importantly, steel doors are highly affordable in comparison to wood or fiberglass doors. Here at Euroseal, we manufacture our own steel entry doors using galvanized steel and a kilned pine frame to prevent rotting or warping.
For doors that lead out into your patio or back garden, a natural choice is a sliding patio door that enables quick and easy access. They include more glass than a typical front door and allow plenty of natural sunlight to brighten up your home, even during winter months.
At Euroseal, we have been manufacturing and installing sliding patio doors into Ontario homes for many years, learn more about our own patio doors here.
While your new exterior door may look nice and suit the style of your home’s design, it also must help protect against cold air outside. Otherwise, heat from your home will escape too quickly and you might find your heating bills to be higher than they should be. This is especially important if you have any glass in your door, which is a weaker insulator than steel or wood. Choose a door that offers great energy efficiency with insulation like steel doors, ideal for handling the freezing temperatures of Ontario winters.
Having energy-efficient entry doors is also an environmentally friendly choice as it will help reduce a home’s carbon footprint and protect the environment.
While it may be tempting to save some extra cash and install an exterior door yourself, it is important to remember that both front and back doors are investments in your home. If installed incorrectly by just a single margin, you might soon encounter problems during wintertime or find the door’s lifespan is much shorter. Having the door installed by a professional will ensure your door is well-fitted and will not cause any problems later on.
An exterior door is a true investment on your home and plays a big role in keeping your house secure, welcoming guests, and even saving on your hydro bill. That’s why any door should be manufactured and installed to the highest of standards.
