Like wood doors, steel doors are prone to damage from dents (which can be fixed with an auto-body repair kit). They may also require some maintenance because their coatings may scratch or wear.

However, they are much more durable than wood doors – they won’t crack, warp or come apart –and insulate about five times better.

Door Replacement in Arizona: Wood Doors

Wood doors are the traditional standard and may be painted or finished to suit any taste or lifestyle. Wood is beautiful and natural, with many species from which to choose and finish naturally, including oak, cherry, walnut, mahogany, maple, fir, pine and paint-grade doors from any of several softwoods. Wood has the warm, natural look and feel that most people prefer. But wood is vulnerable to the elements. Season after season of sun and rain eventually warp, crack and bow wood, and moisture repeatedly shrink and swell wood fibers until finally, the wooden doors must be replaced. Thus, wood doors require the most care over time.
