Your home's entry door is super important. It's not just for getting in and out - it affects how your house looks, how much energy you use, and even how safe you feel. At ARDMOR, we want to help you find the perfect door for your home. Let's explore different types of entry doors and why they matter.

Why a Good Entry Door Matters

A high-quality entry door can do a lot for your home:

• Make your house look nicer
• Help save energy and lower your bills
• Keep your home safer
• Make your property worth more

Choosing a new entry door is a smart move if you want to improve your home. It can change how your whole house looks from the outside and make it more welcoming.

Different Types of Entry Doors

We have lots of different door styles at ARDMOR Here are some popular ones:

1. Traditional Panel Doors: These have raised or flat panels and look good on many types of houses.
2. Craftsman Doors: These have simple designs and often have glass panels. They're great for bungalow-style homes.
3. Modern Doors: These are sleek and often have big glass panels. They look awesome on newer-style homes.
4. Rustic Doors: These doors look warm and inviting, often made of wood with cool metal hardware.
5. French Doors: These elegant doors have lots of glass panels and can be used as both entry doors and patio doors.

When picking a door style, think about what your house looks like and what you like. Our team can help you choose a door that makes your house look even better.

What Entry Doors Are Made Of

Entry doors can be made from different materials. Each type has its own good points:

1. Fiberglass Doors: These are tough and don't need much care. They can look like wood but are better at keeping your house warm or cool.
2. Steel Doors: These are really strong and secure. They're good at saving energy and can be painted any color you like.
3. Wood Doors: These look beautiful and classic. You can customize them a lot, but they need more care to keep them looking good.
4. Composite Doors: These are made from a mix of materials. They're good at insulating and don't need much care.
5. Aluminum Doors: These are light and don't rust. They're great for houses near the beach and modern-style homes.

Each material has its own good points. The best choice depends on things like where you live, how much work you want to do to keep it looking good, and what style you like. We can help you figure out which is best for you.

Saving Energy with Your Entry Door

New entry doors can help you save money on your energy bills. Here's what to look for in an energy-efficient door:

1. U-Factor: This shows how well the door keeps heat inside. Lower numbers are better.
2. R-Value: This tells you how well the door insulates. Higher numbers are better.
3. ENERGY STAR Certification: Doors with this label meet strict energy-saving rules.
4. Weatherstripping: This helps stop air from leaking around the door.
5. Low-E Glass: For doors with glass, this special coating helps keep your house comfortable.

We have lots of energy-efficient doors that can help you save money and be more eco-friendly. We can help you pick one that's perfect for your home and weather.

Keeping Your Home Safe

Your entry door helps keep your home safe. Modern doors have cool safety features like:

1. Multi-point Locking Systems: These lock the door in several places, making it super hard to break in.
2. Reinforced Strike Plates: These make it harder for someone to kick in your door.
3. High-quality Deadbolts: Look for ones rated ANSI Grade 1 - they're the strongest.
4. Security Glass: This special glass is harder to break than regular glass.
5. Smart Locks: You can control these with your phone and check who's at your door even when you're not home.

We can help you pick the right safety features for your home. Different houses might need different levels of security, and we'll help you find the right balance of style and safety.
