When it comes to front entry doors, material matters. Both fiberglass and wood doors have pros and cons. Let’s break it down so you can choose what’s right for your home.
Fiberglass Entry Doors
Pros:
- Durable and weather-resistant
- Low maintenance
- Energy efficient
- Available in wood-look finishes
- Resistant to warping and moisture damage
- Often comes with excellent warranties
Cons:
- Higher upfront cost than steel
- Can be difficult to repair if damaged
- Less traditional look compared to real wood
Wood Entry Doors
Pros:
- Timeless, natural appearance
- Easy to customize or refinish
- Adds warmth and charm to any entryway
- Variety of wood species and finishes available
Cons:
- Requires regular maintenance (painting or staining)
- Can warp or swell in humid climates like Texas
- More susceptible to termites or rot if not properly treated
- Typically higher long-term maintenance costs
Which Should You Choose?
If you want low maintenance and long-term durability, fiberglass is your best bet. For classic beauty and craftsmanship, wood delivers. In Texas, fiberglass often wins for practicality—especially when weather resistance is key. That said, the right choice also depends on your home’s architectural style, personal preferences, and budget.
