Project Details

When the homeowner of this Bedford, Ohio residence noticed their existing front door was drafty and faded, they knew it was time for an upgrade. Their goal was to refresh the entryway's appearance and improve energy efficiency without dramatically altering the home's overall look.

Traditional Front Door Offers Energy-Efficient Solution

After exploring various front door options, we helped the homeowner choose a 6-panel fiberglass entry door system finished in a provincial stain. This selection provided the perfect blend of traditional front door design and modern performance. The new door effectively combats drafts, complementing the existing architecture while offering improved energy efficiency and long-lasting durability with minimal maintenance requirements.

The addition of full-light sidelights creates a welcoming first impression, striking an ideal balance between privacy and natural light. These sidelights not only enhance the entryway's visual appeal but also make the space feel larger and more inviting.

Fiberglass Achieves Wood-Look Without the Upkeep

By opting for a wood-grain fiberglass door, the homeowner gained the best of both worlds. The door's exceptional durability ensures resistance to warping, dents, rot and moisture, while its weather-resistant properties allow it to maintain its beauty with minimal upkeep. Perhaps most importantly, the provincial stain on the wood-grain fiberglass closely mimics the look of real wood, preserving the home's original charm.

The rich brown finish of the new door beautifully contrasts with the light-colored home exterior, refreshing the overall aesthetic while maintaining the warm, traditional style of the original entryway. This thoughtful color choice adds depth and character to the home's facade.

Energy Efficiency and Low Maintenance for Years to Come

The homeowner is thrilled that we were able to replicate the look of their existing door while providing superior energy efficiency and low maintenance requirements. The new fiberglass entry door system offers year-round comfort with reduced drafts, potentially leading to energy savings. Its durable construction ensures long-lasting beauty with minimal upkeep, allowing the homeowner to enjoy their refreshed entryway without the worry of constant maintenance.

This Bedford home now boasts an entryway that seamlessly combines classic charm with modern performance. The homeowner can relish in the improved comfort, easier maintenance and an inviting entrance that will welcome guests for years to come. The success of this project demonstrates how thoughtful updates can preserve a home's character while significantly enhancing its functionality and efficiency.
