Door Replacement Brampton

The first fun thing to do when choosing door replacement Mississauga is, picking out the doors’ material, and knowing what types of materials are available to you (stock doors or custom made) really does help launch this process. Aluminium is usually a sound choice for patio frame material & storm door material, as it resists the weather elements well, it is lightweight yet strong enough to carry glass panes, it is ideal for sliding and swinging doors and is paintable or factory finished. Wood material is the more expensive option, but many homeowners love their authentic woods when it comes to their entrance doors. Wood has always provided a decent degree of energy efficiency, the various types of woods like oak can be painted/stained or veneered, wood requires the most maintenance to perform well and wood can rot, crack and warp with changes in humidity, moisture and fluctuations in temperatures. Steel is a great material to use for an entrance door for added security via its strength, or a patio door, but is less energy efficient than some of the mentioned materials, and is susceptible to denting. Steel is strong, it can be painted or provided with a factory finish and is cost effective. Fibreglass is versatile, it is made either plain or in clad wood (authentic-looking wood-grain textures), which can be veneered, painted or factory finished, it is very resilient to all weather elements (it does not contract or expand like other door materials), it is strong, minimally conducts heat or cold (energy efficient), works well with framing and is super-low maintenance. Vinyl/PVC doors are about as durable as a door can get, they have 50 + years of longevity, are low maintenance, very durable and even hold up to scratches (they are painted all the way through), possesses thermal blocks in the frame (absorbs heat so no losses in the winter or summer – energy efficient) and withstands all weather conditions.

The hardware or ‘furniture’ that usually accompanies doors are items like handles, hinges, door stops, knob sets, deadbolts, levers and other pieces that do have a harmonious working with the actual door components. There are different types of glass options, like statement glass, select glass, value glass and obscure glass, which can utilize caming (metal framework that holds the decorative glass in place and can be matched with the hardware used on the door itself). Other glass considerations are Low-e coatings for energy efficiency, or to add elements of privacy, you can ‘look into’ glass tinting or frosting.
