Natural wood adds warmth and beauty to the entryway of any home. You can select from pre-hung doors that are easier to install, as well as unfinished or finished wood doors. Wood doors cost more than fiberglass and steel and are more subject to rot and weathering if they’re not regularly maintained. But fiberglass and steel doors lack the richness, warmth and natural beauty wood affords, which is why it is still the go-to choice for homeowners who want a luxury look that adds curb appeal to their homes.
Unless you’re an experienced painter, buying a pre-finished door offers a quality and tough topcoat that requires little maintenance. Solid wood doors include stiles, the vertical pieces, and rails, the horizontal ones made of solid wood unless the door is carved out of a single piece of wood. The benefits of well-made wood doors include safety, security and design appeal over fiberglass or steel doors because of their weight, strength and beauty.
