They’re also highly energy efficient, with most Legacy Steel doors without glass meeting ENERGY STAR standards. They can also be custom ordered to include fire-rated glass, glazing products, vision lites and louvers. They work well in Texas climates but should be kept shaded so they don’t overheat and warp. Keeping them out of direct sunlight also helps prevent color fading.
Wood Doors
Wood doors are popular with many homeowners because they offer a warm, natural aesthetic that complements most home styles. Wood doors can be stained or painted to match any color scheme, and they can be re-stained when they start to show signs of wear.
