Brown Front Door Refreshes Entry While Preserving Original Style

When this homeowner of Bedford, Ohio, noticed her existing front door was drafty and faded, it was time for a new front door. She hoped to refresh the look of the door and stop drafts from coming in without making any huge changes to the overall appearance of her home.

After learning about options for a new front door, the homeowner ultimately chose a 6-panel fiberglass front door system in a provincial stain. This choice afforded her with the same overall aesthetic she desired and improved energy-efficiency. She was pleased to find a traditional front door that matched her current entry, and still solved the problems of drafts and fading. The new energy-efficient front door offers the homeowner year-round comfort and savings.

Choosing a solid fiberglass front door with sidelights nicely balances privacy with natural light to create a welcoming first impression. Featuring more glass than any other sidelight style, the full-light sidelights on either side are a beautiful complement to the solid panel style of her front door. Sidelights for fiberglass front doors also make the entryway feel larger and more inviting than an entrance without any glass.

Fiberglass front doors are exceptionally durable and high quality. The material resists warping, dents, rot and moisture. It also withstands weather beautifully, meaning the homeowner no longer needs to worry about water damage. Because the fiberglass front door is so strong and weather resistant, upkeep is easy and minimal. The homeowner can count on the new front door to provide long-lasting beauty and dependable performance for years to come.

When considering finishes and colors for fiberglass front doors, the homeowner decided to preserve the look of the existing wood front door by selecting a wood-grain fiberglass door with a brown stain finish. The new brown front door refreshes the overall aesthetic and beautifully contrasts the light-colored home exterior. The wood-grain prefinished door with provincial stain gives the warm, rich appearance of wood without the maintenance.

The homeowner was pleased that Pella could replicate the look of her existing aesthetic with a more energy-efficient and low-maintenance front door.
