Entry Doors
Entry doors are large, hinged panels that act as a barrier between the home and outdoor elements. They offer protection from rain, wind and snow while keeping out drafts, dirt and debris. Most are designed with keyed locks and deadbolts for security. Some also have sidelight and transom windows for natural light and improved sightlines.
Today’s doors are available in steel, fiberglass and wood. Each has its own set of advantages and disadvantages for appearance, strength, durability and energy efficiency.
Fiberglass is a popular choice among homeowners because it resists dents and scratches well. It also has foam core insulation that helps keep heated or cooled air inside the house, depending on the season. Some fiberglass models have convincingly textured “skins” and a long menu of finish options, molding, glass and hardware choices that complement most any home style.
Sliding Glass Doors
With their large panes, sliding glass doors provide a full view of your outdoors. This allows you to keep an eye on children playing outside and gives you a better connection to your outdoor spaces. They also let in plenty of natural light throughout the day, decreasing your reliance on artificial lighting and making your home more welcoming.
These doors are usually made of annealed or tempered glass, but they can also include laminated glass that provides additional safety features. Laminated glass has two or more glass panes bound together with an interlayer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB), a thermal plastic that holds the glass in place if it breaks and reduces the risk of injury from flying glass.
If you want to enhance the security of your sliding glass doors, choose double or triple-pane windows with argon gas between them to minimize heat loss and maximize air conditioning efficiency. You can also install security screens or a Crimsafe stainless steel door bolt system to help prevent intruders from breaking into your home.
French Doors
French doors are a beautiful way to open up your home to the outdoors. They fill in wide interior door openings, add a sense of transition between rooms, and allow natural light to flood the space. They are also an excellent way to save on electricity costs and make your outside spaces feel like part of your living room.
Depending on your style and budget, there are several options for your doors. You can choose from a variety of frame materials, glass pane sizes, and grille patterns. You can even choose whether you want the door to open inward or outward.
It is always a good idea to replace your doors with new ones before they become damaged or broken. If your doors are cracked, weathered, difficult to open or close, or let drafts and pests into the house, it is time for a replacement. You can consult a professional Sugar Land door installation company for help.
