The Colonial style, as it is so aptly named, refers to the first European settlements that colonized the New World. Having left their homes, they built their new ones in foreign lands to reflect the styles of the homes they had left behind in France, Spain, the Netherlands, and Germany. However, this Colonial style was mostly inspired by the British Isles and it was later named the Colonial Georgian Style. Today, we know this style became a major part of American architecture and each part of the country had its own interpretation thanks to different weather conditions and even the material available. Colonial style architecture favors simple lines and proportions while giving importance to craftsmanship.

A Buyer's Guide to Exterior Doors

So, you’ve decided to buy an exterior door.

Or, are you wondering if you need to replace the exterior front door of your home?

Well, in this article, we’ll answer all these questions.

Learn when the time is right for a replacement door, exterior door prices, and how to buy them online.

You’ll also discover the difference between a slab door and a pre-hung door, along with the resistance of each material (wood, fiberglass, and steel).

So, start reading below and learn everything you need to know about exterior doors!

When Should You Replace Your Exterior Door?

Most of the time, you’ll just walk through your exterior door on the way to work or school without even thinking about it.

Until you start having problems.

If your exterior door gets jammed, is getting infested with termites, or simply is not keeping the cold wind outside, then it’s time for a replacement.

Or, maybe you have a wooden exterior door that’s warped and doesn’t fit its frame correctly.

It’s a problem that’s usually overlooked but will spike up your energy bill.

After all, warped doors don’t insulate your home correctly — and they are easy for burglars to break into.

Another reason, which doesn’t have anything to do with wear and tear, is due to aesthetics. Let’s say you just moved into a new home and the exterior door is hideous.

Or, you just renovated your house and the exterior front door doesn’t fit in with the decor anymore.

All the reasons listed above are valid enough for a brand new replacement door. So, why not start searching online for exterior doors?
