Steel or Fiberglass?

Home Base Improvement & Construction, professional door installation experts are here to make your new exterior storm door or entry door decision a breeze.  With so many choices and brands to choose from we'd like to highlight George W. Trapp Doors, a Michigan door manufacturer that offers a wide selection of reliable and high quality entry door.

When choosing an entry door there are two decisions that will guide you in your decision making process: A steel door painted in one of their 13 colors or a fiberglass door with a woodgrain inspired finish.

Some people have reduced the argument down to one of Steel vs. Fiberglass construction before even considering the finish. The fact of the matter is both construction types are fantastic and the choice ultimately will come down to personal taste.
