Everything You Need to Know About Steel Doors

Do you need a new front door?

You may be looking for durable doors that offer plenty of security. Or you want a door that helps you to express your modern style.

Whatever the case may be, steel doors provide what you need.

At PINKYS, we offer attractive steel and iron doors for those who want a modern front door. Let's look at what steel exterior doors offer.

Why Are Steel Doors Amazing

Whether you desire privacy or want an entrance that combines security with beauty, a steel door is the answer.

These are the key benefits of a steel front door.

Benefit No. 1 - Exceptional Security

No one should get into your home unless you want them there.

Steel exterior doors make that easy because they're durable and tough.

Unlike wood, steel is difficult to break. It also doesn't warp when exposed to wet weather, making for very few vulnerabilities.

Benefit No. 2 - Engineered for Curb Appeal

A steel front door catches the eye of anybody who sees it.

Their smooth style combined with our clever designs makes them ideal for anyone wanting to improve their home's appeal.

Let's say you're trying to sell your home.

A beautiful steel door, made to order for a perfect fit, can make all the difference in a potential buyer's mind.

Benefit No. 3 - Simple Maintenance

Every type of door requires standard maintenance to ensure their mechanisms continue working.

However, a door made from steel is far easier to maintain than a wooden door.

For one, rotting and warping won't be problems when you install exterior steel doors. You also don't have to worry about low temperatures and moisture causing the paint to crack.

Benefit No. 4 - Durability

The durability of steel exterior doors is also important.

Compared to wood, a steel door isn't as susceptible to dents and nicks. If the door has an appropriate coating, it can also resist scratches.

Benefit No. 5 - A Large Range of Styles

A steel door isn't some stock door you can get from any manufacturer.

At PINKYS, we create customized steel doors that you can't find anywhere else on the market. If you're looking for steel front doors, we can help you find styles that suit your home perfectly.

Our range includes steel front doors that incorporate glass and attractive patterns. Ultimately, that means you're in control of how your new front door looks.

Benefit No. 6 - Energy Efficient and Noise Blocking

A steel front door is usually thick. The result of that thickness is that the door allows far less warm air to escape than a wooden door.

If you live in a cold area, steel is almost always a better option than wood.

Furthermore, the thickness of these doors means they have excellent sound-blocking qualities. This makes them a great choice if you live in a noisy neighborhood or are near a busy road.

Benefit No. 7 - Customization

Perhaps you want a brown steel door instead of a black one. You may even want to fit glass into the door to let natural light through.

Whatever you want from a front door, steel can provide it. It's a customizable material that expert manufacturers, such as PINKYS, can fashion into any color or style you want.

The Downsides of Doors Made Using Steel

Though steel is an excellent choice for your exterior door, it does have a few issues to keep in mind before you make your purchase.

Downside No. 1 - Rust

Rust is the main concern.

If exterior steel doors aren't treated properly, they may rust or corrode when exposed to moisture. Obviously, this isn't ideal for a door that faces the great outdoors.

That's why it's crucial that your manufacturer treats doors to create some rust protection. This is one of the many reasons PINKYS is the most trusted name in steel doors and windows. Not only are our doors treated to protect them from rust, we also created a spray you can keep in your home to keep them protected year round.

Downside No. 2 - Difficult to Fix

The strength these types of doors offer makes them difficult to damage. Unfortunately, that same strength also makes them hard to fix.

If something manages to dent your steel door, you may find it hard to fix the dent. In some cases, it's easier to fill the dent and repaint the doors to make it imperceptible from one side.

Scratches can also be a problem, though you can often fix this issue with oil and a clean cloth.

However, purchasing high quality and luxury steel doors makes damage to your doors unlikely.

Each PINKYS door is crafted with care and designed for durability, helping it withstand the normal dents and damage to which inferior doors are prone.

Steel vs. Iron Doors

Steel and iron doors have a lot of similarities. Both types of doors are available in a variety of styles.

Iron and steel are exceptionally strong materials, offer insulation, and provide plenty of options for improving curb appeal.

However, there are some differences to keep in mind.

Steel tends to have a more modern aesthetic than iron. If you prefer the traditional look for your home, iron may be the better choice.

Material composition is also a major point of difference.

Steel is an alloy made primarily using iron and carbon. Wrought iron (typically used for high-end doors) contains minimal traces of carbon, while cast iron may contain between 2% and 4% carbon.
