Steel Entry Doors and Energy Efficiency
Steel Door Energy Efficiency Factors:
Insulated Core
Most high-quality steel doors have a polyurethane or polystyrene foam core, which provides excellent insulation.
A well-insulated steel door can have an R-value of 5 to 6, making it comparable to insulated fibreglass doors.
Thermal Conductivity
Steel is a good conductor of heat, meaning it can transfer cold or heat more easily than fibreglass or wood.
However, modern steel doors with thermal breaks and proper insulation minimize this issue.
Weather Sealing
A steel door with proper weather stripping and a tight seal around the frame prevents drafts and energy loss.
Look for Energy Star-rated steel doors for maximum efficiency.
What Makes a Steel Entry Door So Durable?
Steel Door Durability Factors:
Strong, Impact-Resistant Material
Made of heavy-gauge steel, these doors can withstand forceful impacts, making them resistant to dents, warping, and break-ins.
Unlike wood, steel doesn’t crack, split, or rot over time.
Resistance to Weather and Elements
Moisture-resistant: Steel doors don’t absorb water, so they won’t warp or swell in humid conditions.
Moisture-resistant: Steel doors don’t absorb water, so they won’t warp or swell in humid conditions.
Fire-resistant: Many steel doors have a fire-rated core, making them safer in case of a fire.
Long-Lasting Finishes & Coatings
High-quality steel doors come with galvanized coatings, powder-coated finishes, or baked-on enamel paint, which protects against rust and corrosion.
Some models have polyester or vinyl coatings for additional weather resistance.
Low Maintenance
Steel doors require minimal upkeep compared to wood or fiberglass.
They only need occasional cleaning, repainting (if necessary), and checking of weather stripping.
Choosing an Entry Door Colour
Choosing the right colour for your entry door can elevate your home’s curb appeal and reflect your personal style. At Fasada, we offer a range of fibreglass entry door options - each with its own colour customization possibilities. Here’s how to pick the perfect hue:
Match Your Home’s Style
Whether you choose a sleek modern style or a classic design, select a colour that complements your home's architecture. Modern homes often suit bold colours like teal or red, while traditional designs might benefit from classic shades like navy or deep green.
Coordinate with Exterior Elements
Consider the colour of your siding, trim, and landscaping. A contrasting door colour can make a striking statement, while a complementary shade can create a cohesive look.
Test Before You Decide
Use paint samples to see how different colours look on your door throughout the day. Fasada’s range of customizable designs ensures you’ll find a shade that suits your vision.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Difference Between Steel and Fibreglass Entry Doors?
Choosing between fibreglass and steel entry doors depends on your needs for durability, aesthetics, and budget.
Steel Entry Doors offer exceptional strength and security. They are often more affordable upfront and provide a sleek, modern appearance with customizable options. While steel doors are highly durable, they may require occasional touch-ups to prevent rust.
Fibreglass Doors are known for their versatility and low maintenance. They can mimic the look of wood, resist warping, and are excellent at insulating against heat and cold, but at a higher price point. These doors are lightweight, durable, and resistant to dents and scratches, making them a long-lasting option for homeowners.
Ultimately, the right choice depends on your priorities for style, security, and climate considerations.
How Long Do Steel Doors Last?
With proper care, a high-quality steel door can last 30+ years, especially if it's galvanized and properly maintained.
How are Steel Doors Reinforced for Security?
Many steel doors have reinforced cores with honeycomb, polyurethane, polystyrene, or mineral cores, enhancing both strength and insulation.
They’re often used in high-security applications because they are harder to break through than wood or fibreglass doors.
Steel vs. Fibreglass for Soundproofing
Steel doors (with an insulated or solid core) typically outperform hollow-core fibreglass doors in sound reduction.
Fibreglass doors with a solid core can also be effective but may not block sound as well as a thick, dense steel door.
