Your entry door is one of the first things to make an impression on visitors, so it’s important to ensure it looks its very best. At Jaeger Lumber, we offer entry doors in an array of brands, styles, and materials. With decades of experience supplying all types of exterior doors to builders, contractors, and homeowners throughout New Jersey, our seasoned team of professionals helps you understand your options and assists you with choosing the appropriate product for your project.
Choosing an Exterior Door
Whether you’re looking for a beautiful wood door with inlaid glass or need a sturdy steel entry door for your business, we’ve got you covered. There are many different factors to consider when choosing an exterior door, including:
Climate
Icy New Jersey winters and steamy summers can take a toll on the exterior of your home, so your entry doors need to stand up to the elements. Wood looks amazing but definitely requires maintenance with painting and sealing, or it may eventually crack or warp. Steel doors function well in almost any climate and come in an array of finishes that look like real wood. Good quality fiberglass doors are resistant to cracking, easy to maintain, and can be customized to match most facades.
Insulation and Energy Efficiency
Both steel and fiberglass provide great insulation from hot and cold air. However, it’s important to keep in mind that leakage around your exterior door can let cold air in and warm air out (and vice versa in warmer months). This means that not only is the quality of the door important; weather stripping, framing, and proper door and window installation are critical. Manufacturers such as Therma Tru offer Energy Star® rated exterior doors that offer exceptional energy efficiency, which also can result in cost savings on utility bills.
Security
It’s essential for an entry door to be secure. The most important component of your door when it comes to keeping your home or building secure is the locking mechanism. At Jaeger Lumber, we offer traditional locks and state-of-the-art products from Schlage that look great and keep your home, office, or business safe and sound.
Accessibility
When shopping for a new door, it’s also important to keep large items in mind. You want to ensure your exterior door is wide enough to move furniture and equipment and to accommodate a wheelchair or scooter for elderly or disabled loved ones or customers.
Curb appeal
Sprucing up your home or business with a new door adds curb appeal and can increase the value of your property. When it comes to choosing a style and color for your new entry door, the possibilities are endless. Our experienced team members can help you look at all the elements that go into selecting a door and help you find something that meets your needs and your personality.
