6 Facts about Steel Entry Doors

So you’ve decided to have your old wooden front door replaced, and someone had probably suggested replacing them with steel doors.

Don’t dismiss the idea outright – you might want to secure its benefits for your home.

Getting the best steel entry doors in Kokomo, Indiana doesn’t have to be difficult. Let professionals from BEE Window® provide a list of facts that should help you decide:

1. Wooden doors are subject to wear and tear (i.e. cracking, rotting and warping) caused by constant exposure to outside weather. Steel doors, on the other hand, are more durable and require much less maintenance.
2. Steel entry doors are more secure.
3. Steel doors are energy-efficient, especially when installed as a complete “entry system” (i.e. including the frame), which creates a perfect seal. This means reduced air leakage, which in turn means your thermostat will not need to work so hard. To get the full energy efficiency benefit, we recommend installing energy-efficient replacement windows in Kokomo.
4. Steel doors cost significantly less compared to wooden ones, and are more sustainable.
5. Steel doors can only be painted on, so if you prefer to keep the wooden look, a fiberglass layer with simulated wood grain can be added to your steel door.
6. Ordinary steel doors conduct outside temperature, as is inherent with steel. Our steel doors do not have this problem. We can help ensure you get the most energy-efficient door and window replacement in Muncie, Kokomo, and Fishers.
