Front doors add a lot to the appearance of your home. They also play a major role in security and energy efficiency.
Celebration Window Replacement offers a diverse selection of doors designed to compliment your homes architecture. You can choose from several styles and colors to match your home.
Fiberglass
If you’re shopping for a new front door, you’ll be happy to know that there are plenty of options available to match your home’s style. For example, fiberglass doors are both durable and energy efficient. They also offer a wide range of decorative features.
Fiberglass is a composite material made of glass fibers that are reinforced with plastic resin to create a strong, long-lasting door. It’s often called GFRP, a shorthand acronym for “glass-fiber-reinforced polymer.” The structure of a fiberglass door is similar to those of wood and steel doors.
The difference is that fiberglass doesn’t rot, warp or swell like wood. It’s also much less likely to be harmed by insects, such as termites. The fiberglass in a front door is also designed to be highly resistant to heat, moisture and UV rays. This makes a fiberglass door a solid choice for a home in an area prone to extreme weather conditions. It’s also one of the most energy-efficient types of front doors, featuring insulated cores to prevent heat loss that can lead to high utility bills.
Wood
Front doors are an important part of your home’s exterior aesthetic. They also play a key role in insulating your home and maintaining energy efficiency. That’s why choosing the right front door is crucial. There are many options available to homeowners, including different materials and styles.
Solid wood front doors are a popular choice among homeowners looking to add warmth and tradition. They are available in mahogany, walnut, knotty alder and douglas fir, and can be combined with sidelights and transoms for an impressive look that allows natural light into the entryway.
Oak front doors are extremely durable and offer excellent protection from South Florida storms and sunshine. They have a tight, beautiful grain that will darken with exposure to sunlight. Cedar doors are a natural rot-resistant wood that will hold up well to weather and climate conditions in Celebration, but it is not recommended for use in coastal areas where salt spray can damage the finish.
Knotty Alder
Knotty alder is a popular front door material choice for homeowners who want to add more of a rustic, rugged look to their homes. This wood has a pronounced texture with areas of burl clusters and small knots, which give it a unique visual appeal and added durability. It is also naturally resistant to rot and insect infestation.
Grand Entry Doors offers knotty alder double entry doors in several styles, including the Highlands and Florencia. Both of these wood doors feature clear bevel or flemish true divided lite (TDL) low-E glass to let natural light into your home, while helping keep your home energy efficient. TDL glass is separated by muntin bars to help reduce heat loss during the winter and minimize heat gain during the summer. All of our wood front doors are available as a slab or pre-hung and come hinged to the jamb for easier installation in your home.
Decorative Door Inserts
A decorative door insert can add an extra element of charm to your front entryway while also letting in natural light. Choose from a variety of leaded, etched or carved glass inserts to complement your home’s design style and décor. These kits can be installed to replace a plain clear or frosted door glass or to add a frame to a solid exterior door. Vapor glass is a popular option that provides a graceful texture and plays with shadows and light. This glass insert is available with medium privacy, but it is not hurricane impact rated. It is ideal for Celebration FL homeowners looking to upgrade their front doors without sacrificing energy efficiency.
A high-quality front door increases the curb appeal of a home and improves energy efficiency. It also enhances the comfort of a living space, making it an investment that can increase the value of your home.
