How to Choose a New Front Door for Your Home

Compare fibreglass and steel, glazing, privacy, hardware, finishes, weather sealing, sizing and installation scope.

Start with the condition of the opening

Product comparisons are more useful when they include the existing frame, surrounding materials, signs of water entry and the way the room is used.

Compare complete product data

Ask for the specifications that apply to the complete window or door configuration. Individual features should not be treated as a guarantee of whole-product performance.

Confirm current local requirements

Permit, heritage and rebate information can change. Check municipal and program sources for the project address and scope before committing.
