Door Materials
WOOD DOORS
Wood is a popular choice for doors due to its customizability, natural sound insulation, and energy efficiency. However, because wood can be affected by changes in climate and moisture, it’s most often used for interior applications.
LAMINATE DOORS
Laminate doors provide a wide range of design options and are a more cost-effective alternative to other materials. While they are suitable for interior use only, they offer solid durability when properly maintained.
FIBERGLASS DOORS
Fiberglass doors offer the look of wood while providing the strength and durability needed for exterior use. They resist weather-related damage and are typically more affordable than metal door options.
METAL DOORS
Hollow metal and stainless steel are the most commonly used types of metal doors. Hollow metal doors offer strong weather resistance but require periodic repainting to prevent rust. Stainless steel doors provide similar durability with the added benefit of high corrosion resistance, though they typically come at a higher cost.
Interior and Exterior Doors
HINGED DOORS
The hinged door is the most commonly used, having a hinge attached to one side of the door frame that allows the door to rotate inward or outward.
DOUBLE DOORS
Double doors are a pair of doors that swing open and create a more open feel in your home. Double doors are typically hinged doors that can connect two rooms, create more separation, or simply make a grander entrance to a room.
FRENCH DOORS
Similar to a double door, a French door is a pair of hinged doors with glass panels that extend the length of the door. These doors are designed to bring in natural light and create a unique flow between rooms.
FOLDING DOORS
Folding doors, also known as bi-fold or accordion doors, fold and stack together to create a larger opening. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, folding doors are space-saving tool for homes.
POCKET DOORS
Pocket doors are interior doors that slide into a concealed space within a wall, or the “pocket”. These walls save space while also creating an open feel to the home.
BARN DOORS
Barn doors are hung on a track that runs along the wall or ceiling above the opening. While these doors do not close as tightly as others do, barn doors save floor space and provide the home with a rustic look.
SLIDING DOORS
Sliding doors are placed along a track, allowing them to slide horizontally rather than swing open like a traditional door. Sliding doors are commonly used in hallways, closets, and as room dividers.
BYPASS DOORS
Similar to typical sliding doors, bypass doors feature two or more panels that slide past each other on separate, horizontal tracks. Bypass doors are commonly used for pantries, closets, and other spaces where space-saving is desired.
FRONT-ENTRY DOORS
Front-entry doors serve as the main entrance to your home. It’s the first thing about your home that anyone will see, which makes it very important to choose the right door for you.
PATIO DOORS
Patio doors come in a variety of styles, including Sliding, French, and Bi-Fold. Patio doors typically include glass panelling, offering a picturesque view of your property’s exterior.
STORM DOORS
Storm doors are added in front of an entry door as an added layer of protection from the elements. These doors can also improve energy efficiency and provide increased security.
SCREEN DOORS
Similar to storm doors, screen doors are an additional door in front of an entry door; however, screen doors prioritize air ventilation and protection from insects, making them generally lighter and cheaper to install.
