Your entry door sets the first impression guests have of your home, more than the roofing system your roof installation contractor put up or the siding you have. It makes sense then that you want to put your best forward, so to speak, when picking out colors and styles for an entry door. However, one more factor that you might want to consider is material.


As far as door materials go, nothing beats steel in terms of strength and durability. Read on as our general contracting experts at D-Wing Construction show you the many benefits of steel entry doors.

Additionally, steel doors offer security and stability, and it’s long life span means it can last your home for years to come.

Visually Appealing

For a material that’s been a staple of industrial grunge motifs, steel doors are surprisingly versatile when it comes to style. They can easily blend in with almost any architectural style and, with the right finish and coating, can be made to resemble other materials such as wood.

During winter, the most common problem for entry doors are drafts. Steel is a naturally efficient material and you can also get thermal barriers and insulating foam fillings to further improve the energy efficiency of your home, depending on the entry door model you choose.
