They have to be both functional and beautiful. They have to fit the exterior style of a home while providing the perfect backdrop for interior design. In winter, they have to keep the cold out and the heat in. In summer, they must do exactly the opposite. No wonder choosing doors can get so confusing.
Doors have to be more than just cover holes in the walls.
They must provide security and comfort and do that with beauty, style, and economy. Fulfilling all those requirements sometimes calls for compromises. How well those compromises work together depends on you and the choices you make. The primary material used to make doors is wood. Wood is the first choice of many homeowners, but more and more are choosing fiberglass for its lower cost and ease of maintenance.
