1. Durability
When choosing a door, durability should be one of your top priorities. It can mean the difference between a functional, reliable and attractive door, or something that needs replacement soon.
Wood is a durable material that resists rot, insects, and other forces that cause decay. However, it can also suffer damage from standing water and harsh weather conditions.
Some wood species are more resistant to damage than others, such as red oak and white oak. Other wood types can be more susceptible to dents, scratches and other wear and tear.

3. Security
Whether you choose a simple, natural wood door or a more elaborate security entry, your front door plays a vital role in the overall safety and security of your home. It is one of the most visible elements that a burglar can see, and it needs to be strong enough to resist break-in attempts.
The most common choice for security doors is a solid wood door. This material is known for its durability, strength and classic look.
These doors are more durable than glass and metal doors, which is a plus for residential and business properties. They also offer a great design choice and reasonable cost.
4. Beauty
With a variety of wood species to choose from, you can customize your doors to fit the style and aesthetic of your home. Each type of wood has its own unique character in color and grain.
Choosing the right finish can make all the difference to your door’s beauty. It can also help protect your door from ultraviolet light, which is one of the most common threats to wooden doors.
Your home’s climate can also affect the lifespan of your custom wood door. Houses with southern or western exposure may be more susceptible to UV damage than homes on the north or east sides.
5. Energy Efficiency
If you want to save on your energy bills, you can choose one of our wood doors that is insulated. When a door is properly insulated, it prevents cold air from seeping into your home and warm air from escaping.
The insulating properties of your door depend on its construction, the materials used to make it and the weatherstripping. A door’s U-factor and R-value can be a good indicator of its energy efficiency.
Metal doors, including aluminum and steel, are popular exterior choices, but they are poor insulators. They conduct heat, so you may feel the outside temperature if you touch them.
