  • Energy Efficient: Insulated cores help regulate indoor temperatures, reducing energy bills.


  • Customizable: Wide variety of colors, designs, and finishes, including realistic woodgrain textures.


  • Resistant to Moisture: Fiberglass won’t rot, swell, or corrode, even in humid climates.


  • Affordable: Offers a long-lasting solution at a competitive price point.


Cons:


  • Initial Cost: While more affordable than wood, fiberglass doors may still cost more upfront than steel.

  • Low Maintenance: Easy to clean and maintain with no need for frequent repainting.


  • Affordable: Typically more cost-effective than wood or fiberglass doors.


  • Fire-Resistant: Steel doors often provide enhanced protection against fire, making them a safer choice.


Cons:


  • Susceptible to Dents and Scratches: Steel doors can dent or scratch with heavy impacts, and scratches may lead to rust if not promptly repaired.


  • Limited Design Options: Fewer customization options compared to fiberglass or wood.


  • Heat and Cold Transfer: Without proper insulation, steel doors can feel very hot or cold, depending on the weather.


  • Heavier Weight: Steel doors are heavier than other materials, which may require more robust hinges and frames.
