BEST DOOR MATERIALS
Wood is beautiful (but it rots).
Steel is cheap (but it rusts).
Advisar fiberglass is beautiful and built to last (no buts).
Think Fiberglass First
Choosing a door style is daunting … but choosing the type of materials from which to make your door is pretty easy: just consider your climate. You want a door that will outshine the elements so it looks as fabulous on day 5,365 as on day one. That’s exactly why Advisar doors are made of fiberglass. Read on to learn more about your choices, so you make the right one.
Wood
Wood is often the first door material to come to mind because it’s authentic. It’s the look that manufacturers of fiberglass or steel doors strive to achieve. But, it has a downside: it’s the least durable material and requires the most maintenance.
- Authentic look
Pros
- Warps and rots
- Susceptible to splitting and cracking
- Requires more maintenance than fiberglass
Cons
