Your front door may be the first thing guests and passersby notice about your home. It sets the tone for your property’s style and can increase a home’s curb appeal. We know that choosing the perfect entry door involves more than just aesthetics; it also needs to be durable, energy-efficient, and functional. Here are tips from the Trademark Glassworks door specialists for choosing the ideal door for your home.
Consider Your Home’s Architectural Style
Your entry door should complement your home’s overall design. A sleek modern home may look best with a minimalist steel or fiberglass door with decorative glass inserts, while a traditional home benefits from a classic wooden or paneled door. If you have a farmhouse-style home, a rustic wood-like door can enhance its charm.
Choose the Right Material
Fiberglass: Extremely popular in our Canadian climate. Low maintenance (does not require repeat sanding and staining), insulating and energy-efficient, and available in many finishes that mimic wood. Often comes with Glass Inserts that allow natural light to brighten your entryway while adding modernity and sophistication.
Wood: Timeless and elegant but requires upkeep to prevent warping.
Steel: Strong, secure, and cost-effective, making it a great option when durability is key.
Aluminum: A low cost option, ideal for a garage side door.
Pick a Colour That Pops
Prioritize Energy Efficiency and Security
At Trademark Glassworks, we recommend insulated doors for Canadians who are looking to improve their home’s energy efficiency and reduce heating and cooling costs. Multi-point locking systems or reinforced steel options can provide added security. Check out the All Weather exterior doors catalogue for inspiration!
