Would you choose a steel or fiberglass door?

Question

I am trying to decide between installing a steel vs fiberglass door for my entry door. Also, I only have a little 3 bedroom ranch, not very big at all so I do not want to put something up that will not look good. Would a door with a 3/4 oval glass be ok on that type of house?

Answer 1

Fiberglass doors are superior to steel doors in every way. They offer a higher "R" value, which means they insulate better. Most manufacturers also offer a variety of styles. You can choose between stainable fiberglass that look identical to stained wood doors or paintable that look more like their steel competitors. Steel doors are cheaper, but there is a reason for that--they are inferior.

Answer 2

I do remodels so I would have to say it really depends on the application,steel doors are usually more industrial and for buisnesses,,homes on the other hand usually are wood,either a composite core with a veneer(skin) or solid wood(pine,birch,oak,ect..)as far as exterior doors go I definetly recomend a solid core door,as for interior,,hollow core...

Answer 3

Steel can dent. Fiberglass will not.
