Doors materials matters.
When it comes to security and weather-resistance, our tests show that a $135 steel front door can be the equal of one in fiberglass or solid wood costing up to five times as much. But that doesn't mean the steel door is a better bet in the long run.
After subjecting 14 different doors to dents and scratches, plus the laboratory equivalent of tortential rain, strong winds, and the eguivalent of a decade's use, we found that steel doors show the effects of wear and tear more than wood or fiberglass doors do. That's an important point to keep in mind if, like millions of other homeowners, you're ready to replace the front door to enhance your home's curb appeal.
