West Virginia's mountain terrain creates a climate that attacks doors from every angle — Appalachian winters bring heavy snow and subzero temperatures, summer humidity in the river valleys exceeds 80 percent, and over 100 freeze-thaw cycles per year work apart every joint and seal. Flash flooding through narrow hollows adds water exposure that accelerates wood rot. Your front door faces the full range of mountain weather with no shelter.
Steel and iron doors are the smart choice for West Virginia — where wood warps through dramatic humidity swings, cracks from relentless freeze-thaw cycling, and requires constant maintenance to survive Appalachian winters. Add the growing luxury market in The Greenbrier area, the Eastern Panhandle's DC commuter communities, and mountain resort properties, and steel delivers both protection and lasting value.
What West Virginia's Climate Demands
The Mountain Interior: Snow, Ice, and Elevation
Snowshoe and the high Alleghenies receive over 150 inches of snow annually. Winter temperatures drop well below zero at elevation, while daily temperature swings of 30-plus degrees stress every door seal and joint. Steel with thermal breaks handles the extreme cold and cycling without condensation or dimensional change.
The Valleys: Humidity and Flash Flooding
Charleston's Kanawha Valley and the Ohio River corridor trap summer humidity above 80 percent while winter delivers ice storms. The narrow valley topography amplifies moisture exposure on every building surface. Steel resists the persistent humidity that rots wood doors within a few seasons.
Eastern Panhandle: DC Luxury and Four-Season Extremes
Shepherdstown, Charles Town, and Harpers Ferry attract DC-area buyers seeking mountain luxury. These communities experience the full Mid-Atlantic seasonal range with Appalachian intensity — hot humid summers, ice storms, and mountain winter cold.
