Key Features:
-
Built to Last
Steel doors feature a heavy-duty steel skin wrapped around a dense foam core, creating a strong barrier that won't warp, crack, or dent easily—even in challenging weather conditions. This sturdy construction provides outstanding protection against impact and everyday wear, ensuring your entryway stays looking great year after year.
-
Maximum Security
When it comes to keeping your family safe, steel doors offer peace of mind that's hard to match. Their solid construction makes forced entry significantly more difficult, providing a strong first line of defense for your home.
-
Energy Efficiency
The insulating foam core in steel doors works overtime to regulate your home's temperature. By keeping warm air in during winter and blocking heat during summer, these doors help maintain comfortable indoor conditions while helping to lower your energy bills.
-
Easy to Maintain
Steel doors are refreshingly low-maintenance—simply wipe them down occasionally and touch up any paint chips if needed. That's all it takes to keep them looking their best!
