Additionally steel doors have more intuitive qualities that we do come to expect such as they
are tough – the strongest of all the materials – have tremendous longevity and very low
maintenance. Consequently, steel doors make an excellent choice for properties located in
areas of inclement weather such as in hurricane zones.
Of course, there wouldn’t be a choice of materials if steel doors didn’t have their faults so
here are some of the flaws you need to consider. Steel doors are strong but can be dented and
scratched which doesn’t affect their performance but diminishes their appearance. These
aesthetic flaws are also not nearly so easy to repair as wooden doors which can be filled and
stained to repair any surface damage. Another problem is steel is a great conductor of heat
and in this case they will get hot or cold on the surface depending on the temperature the
polyurethane cavity provides great temperature insulation but does nothing for the external
temperature of the door’s surface.
