Trying to decide which types of doors to install in your home?
The good news is there are plenty of options—Dutch doors, French doors, bifold doors, hinged doors, sliding doors, pocket doors, and more.
The bad news? There are so many options that it can be tough to choose!
At Manatee, we’ve been making real estate decisions for quite a while now, including picking the right doors for various properties.
So, we’re here to offer some door-related advice.
Here’s a breakdown of your options based on door material:
- Wood — Wood remains the most popular choice for exterior doors, and it’s increasingly being used indoors as well. These doors are easy to paint or stain, complement nearly any style, and are known for their durability.
- Steel — Steel doors are incredibly durable and require minimal maintenance. They offer a sleek, modern look and are often more affordable than wood doors.
- Fiberglass — Like steel, fiberglass doors are extremely durable and low-maintenance. They provide excellent insulation, resist dents, and can be customized to fit almost any design aesthetic.
- Aluminum — Aluminum doors are a go-to choice for those seeking a modern look. They’re versatile, suitable for both interior and exterior use, and work well in various settings.
- Flush — Made from fiberboard or plywood, flush doors are highly affordable and offer decent durability. They’re a practical choice for bathrooms, utility rooms, or other spaces where function is key.
We hope this helps you narrow down your choices!
