It may be necessary for a professional installer to help you decide upon which doors whether they are energy efficient doors, fiberglass doors, French doors, patio doors, slider doors, steel doors, or storm doors that best suited to your home's unique architecture and assist you in selecting each door's material, style and operation.
Outer Door Types
Outer doors should all be energy efficient doors. Fiberglass doors, French doors, patio or slider doors can all be energy efficient doors depending on how they are constructed. Glazing on the glass in French doors, patio or slider doors as well as vacuum sealed multiple panes contribute to their classification as energy efficient doors. Steel doors, on the other hand, can be great conductors of excessive heat or cold. In areas with extreme weather this can limit how energy efficient steel doors are.
Doors for Extreme Weather
Storm doors are dual purpose doors used in areas that experience severe winter conditions. In the winter, storm doors are fitted with a double pane glass window to protect the inner door from weather damage while increasing how energy efficient the door is. In summer the glass on a storm door is replaced with a screen to allow light and air to flow.
