Medley of Materials
The climate zone you live in (Canada has three climate zones) will help you to narrow down what type of door material would work best for your home and for your personal style & budget. Door replacement Markham offer various door materials to consider:
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. 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. Steel is a great material to use for an entrance door or a patio doors, 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. 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. 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, is ideal for sliding and swinging doors and is paintable or factory finished.

Then you have a few other things to consider like how you want your door to be configured (a single door, double door, sidelites & transoms) and the door swing (inswing or outswing) and the door handing (which direction the door will swing – left hand inswing or right-hand inswing). You will need to consider the panel type and options for glass panels, and think about your glass options (performance perks like Low-e coatings, decorative accents, impact resistance, textured glass, tinted glass and internal glass blinds or grids, just to name a few). Many of these are additional options, but it is always wise to know exactly what you can have access to, and then decide if you want to have it incorporated into your replacement door.
