On Choosing a New Front Door…

Posted on February 8, 2017 in Door Installation

Your home’s front door is not only your entryway, but it’s also a statement to your friends, family, and guests. You want your door to not only be strong and sturdy, but to be beautiful. With so many front door options, it may be overwhelming – but we can help:

The Material

At P.J. Fitzpatrick, we offer the leading material for beautiful and reliable front doors – fiberglass.

Fiberglass doors are built to last and unlike wood or steel, they won’t rust, rot, warp, or dent. This means you won’t have to worry about replacing them as you would with other door materials. Fiberglass doors are light to the touch but are strong, with a foam interior that provides good insulation. They are also low-maintenance and don’t require much touching up. Plus, because of the durability of fiberglass, you’ll get a lifetime warranty on your new front door to ensure you’ll enjoy its beauty and protection for years to come.

The Glass

After you decide on a material, you have to decide how much glass you’d like to incorporate. You can choose a door with no glass, small, half-moons, larger ovals, squares, or rectangles that cover almost the entire door. The amount of glass varies the look of the door, so talk to our door installation experts – they can help you choose the best option.

The Handle

Even though it’s a small part of a front door, the handle can make a big difference. You can choose anything from a traditional round handle to a more decorative handle or lever. You also have to choose what type of finish you’d prefer, such as brass, bronze, or nickel. The style and color of the handle can change the look of the door.
