Steel vs. Fiberglass Doors Which Is Best for You?

Both our steel and fiberglass doors are energy-efficient and come in various styles. Choosing the right door will depend on your preference.

Durability:

Steel doors feature a polyurethane core that enhances energy efficiency and improves sound reduction. Fiberglass doors offer a 10-year warranty finish and are more resistant to rust and scratches. Steel doors are fire-resistant and more secure than most doors.

Style:

Fiberglass doors offer an authentic wood-grain look that can be painted. Steel doors are available in 20 different stain styles and paint colors.

Customization:

Fiberglass doors come in various styles and finishes and can be customized to meet your size requirements. They offer several glass options, including tempered glass, tinted glass, and Low-E argon or krypton glass. Steel doors offer windowed and windowless options with over 15 styles of window shapes and sizes and over 20 styles of stains and paint colors. They’re equipped with UV protection, two- or three-pane glass, and a high R-value.

Maintenance:

Both doors require little to no maintenance. Fiberglass doors don’t warp, rot, split, or crack and can be painted to change with the style of your home. Steel doors are stronger than fiberglass and a secure option that won’t warp or break; however, they run the risk of rust with time.
