Do you need a new door? Here are some buying tips to help you shop for your next entryway.
Quick quiz time: Would you buy a new car that was a hodgepodge of pieces and parts? Kind of like that Johnny Cash “One Piece at a Time” song? That Cadillac was a combination of parts spanning 20 years, and a sight to behold.
When it comes to some of the things we put in our homes like when we need a new door, windows or even roofing, we don’t mess around. They need to perform, and we don’t want to risk compromising the potential energy efficiency of those critical parts of our family’s home.
So when you need a new door—something that stamps your style, something that is a perfect spot to hang your holiday wreath, and something that you and your family will be happy to use every day—we recommend looking for stuff that’s “system-built.”
System built stuff is beyond color, size, and material, it’s something designed where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
The door we picked to update our 110+ year-old home is a fiberglass door from Therma-Tru. It is system-built and I love it every time I use it.
That’s great for me, but you still need a new door.
So here are a few system-built features to keep in mind as you shop for your next door:
- Hinges that glide effortlessly
- Super-low maintenance paint
- Glass options you love
- Hardware options you love
- Energy efficiency
Buying a new entry door is big decision, so take your time to sure you pick the smartest option for your home and your family.
