Glass Front Doors: A Round-Up of My Favorite Styles and Designs

Why Do Front Doors Cost So Much?

Shopping for a new front door is expensive due to the type of material used to manufacture the door, which includes fiberglass, steel, and wood. Front doors need to be sturdy to ensure safety for the home. It’s also important to consider the brand of the door, which can also influence the price.

If you’re currently shopping for a new front door then you already know that finding an affordable front door that meets your design standards is a difficult task. The size of your door will affect the price, therefore a large door will cost considerably more, and a double door will cost more than a single door.

How Safe Are Glass Front Doors?

Front doors are an investment so is splurging on a new glass front door actually worth it? Don’t worry having a front door made with glass does not appeal to burglars and they’re not easy to break due to the thickness of the glass. According to SafeNow.Org, “…34% of burglars use the doorknob to break into a home, while 23% use a first-floor window.”
