Exterior commercial doors contribute to your business’s curb appeal and energy efficiency. Whether you’re remodeling your commercial space or just need new doors, review some of the most common options for businesses below.

3 Exterior Commercial Door Materials to Consider

1. Steel

Galvanized and galvannealed steel provide the final layer of protection on “hollow” metal doors featuring foam insulation or other fillers. Both steel types offer excellent protection against corrosion in addition to increasing security because they can’t bend or get kicked in. Foam or other fillers also makes these doors energy-efficient.

Steel doors come in swing-in-and-out varieties for use in warehouses, stadiums, and hospitals. Automatic steel doors may also have push bars to use in power outages.

2. Glass

Glass doors are often used for commercial storefronts, such as boutiques and eateries, as well as office and hospital complexes, universities, and manufacturing companies. They come in reinforced selections to prevent breakage and theft as well as allow natural light in to reduce commercial energy costs.

Glass commercial doors come in numerous forms, including revolving, sliding, and frameless versions. They can also include aluminum framing for extra protection against drafts.

3. Fiberglass

Fiberglass works in any climate thanks to its glass fiber-reinforced plastic composition. It’s impervious to the elements and won’t rot, warp, or crack, unlike wood.

Fiberglass exterior doors can be manufactured to look like wood and offer outstanding strength and security without the extra weight. They also reduce heat transfer to help lower your business’s energy bills. Durable swing-out models with push bars are often used in school settings.
