If your entry door has started looking a little lackluster, chances are it has reached the end of its lifespan. You may be wondering, if it still opens and shuts, locks and unlocks, does it really make a difference when I get my next entry door replacement?
The answer is yes—any exterior door to your home is responsible for a lot more than just opening and closing, with energy efficiency and security making the top of the list. Windows Direct USA is a seasoned door replacement company that's been servicing the Cincinnati area and Northern Kentucky since 2014. We source our replacement options carefully, because of how important the exterior doors are to the rest of any property.
New Materials Offer Superior Performance
This one may sound like a no-brainer, but the most basic way an exterior door replacement benefits you and your home is that its materials haven't had to endure anything yet. Even if you had the sturdiest door installed back in the day, a decade of enduring high winds, heavy rainfall, hailstorms, hurricanes, and other severe weather will eventually begin taking its toll on any material.
A newer door is sure to outperform an old one, but you should always go the extra mile for your home and make sure the exterior door you select for your home is made from a reliable material, like:
- Fiberglass
- Steel
- Engineered Wood
A new exterior door installation will do a better job sealing your home off from outside, leading to improved energy efficiency. It also will have a fresh inner locking system that hasn't been exposed to enough wear and tear to break, corrode, or wear out.
New Doors Often Come With Upgrades
Technological developments in the window and door industry are happening constantly, with every year bringing a whole slew of changes, advancements, and upgrades for people to look forward to. If the current doors installed at your home have been in place for the last decade, not only will the new materials perform better, but any new replacement door you select is bound to come with a long list of benefits that you aren't currently receiving.
For starters, most doors being sold nowadays have much more advanced inner locking systems than doors from even just a decade ago, making them way more reliable. Your new door will also most likely come with some impressive features that your current one may not have, like:
- Steel Frame
- 5-Pin Cylinder Lock
- Security Hinges on the Inside
- Reinforced Glass Panes
Airtight Installations Make a Difference
Over time, all this wear and tear on your exterior doors could cause them to become less airtight. Some materials will expand and contract with the hot summers and cold winters, like wood and occasionally steel. Eventually your uneven door will begin letting a sliver of air through, followed by a bit more if left unattended.
Getting a fresh door installation means an airtight fit, especially when you make sure to work with a trusted contractor like Windows Direct USA. We've received countless industry honors for the quality of our work, such as a "Super Service Award" from Angi, not to mention hundreds of glowing 5-star reviews left by our customers.
