Choosing Between Wooden, Fiberglass, and Steel Doors
National Window & Door sells, installs, and repairs storm doors, entry doors, patio doors, double doors, and sliding doors that come in different materials. The initial buying process can feel overwhelming, as there are so many types and styles of doors to choose from. What will work best for the aesthetic of your space? Will the door last you for years? How much will the initial cost be?
Our sales team is here to help answer these questions and find the proper door to suit your home or business. Here are some quick tips for choosing a door material:
Wooden Doors: We feel that wooden doors are beautiful, but note that they need more maintenance and can be more expensive. Wooden doors add a rustic, comfortable vibe to the home, and can come in various stains and colors. However, it’s important to keep up with proper maintenance to ensure that this beauty lasts for years to come. Proper cleaning and staining may be necessary each year to make this happen.
While these tips may seem like a wooden door isn’t worth it, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Wooden doors add an elegance to homes that other materials just cannot recreate. Visit our showroom in Christiansburg, VA, to see the true difference.
Fiberglass Doors: Fiberglass is most the popular material right now. Fiberglass is a more inexpensive way to add a nice, durable entry door to your home or business. Fiberglass doors are weather-resistant and work great in extreme climates, and will not warp or rot like other materials. They also come in a range of colors and styles to match any home, adding curb appeal and value to your space.
One selling point for fiberglass doors is that they are incredibly low maintenance. Choose wood grain styles to mimic the look of a true wooden door, just without the annual maintenance bill.
Steel Doors: Steel doors are great for businesses and homes that want to amplify security. While homeowners may turn away from steel due to aesthetic purposes, we disagree. Steel doors can come in different colors and styles, making them just as stunning as wooden or fiberglass door options. Pella, one of our replacement door manufacturers, reminds customers just how aesthetically pleasing a steel door can be with vibrant colors and custom styles.

What to Look for in a New Door
Besides material, there are a few things that you should also look for in a replacement door for your home or business. A few tried-and-true ways to pick a new door include:
Consider maintenance. As we mentioned, wooden doors tend to have a higher maintenance need than fiberglass or steel. Be sure to factor in this yearly task and cost when picking a new door.
Think of security. When choosing a door for an office, business, or your home, security is a big factor. Ask our salespeople about the safety elements to our replacement door options when making your decision.
Find a flattering door type. National Window & Door sells different door types, including storm doors, patio doors, double doors, and sliding doors. Consider these styles when choosing a door, as they offer different functionality and looks to your space. Double doors may make an entry look much grander, while sliding doors may find better use as a patio, deck, or porch entry. Storm doors can add natural light, making your space feel bigger and more inviting. Ask our door installation and sales teams about what type of door will work for your home or business.
How Do I Know It’s Time for a Replacement Door?
There are a few signs that can help you to determine whether or not it’s time to replace your entry door. Much like windows, doors can also have a negative effect on energy costs due to drafts and letting cool air in and warm air out. If you notice high energy bills, it could be coming from doors or windows.
Doors that have damage, dents, or cracks are also in need of replacement. Of course, cracks and dents are unappealing to guests. Not to mention that damage can weaken the door overtime, posing a threat to security.
