Key benefits include:
• Superior Security: The heavy-duty iron construction provides an exceptional barrier against intruders.
• Durability and Longevity: Iron will not warp, rot, split, or delaminate like wood, often lasting a lifetime with minimal upkeep.
• Enhanced Curb Appeal: The intricate designs and luxurious finish significantly increase your home’s aesthetic value and curb appeal. Your neighbors will admire this fine signature piece!
• Increased Home Value: Iron doors are a desirable feature that can positively impact your home’s resale value.
Yes, most modern iron doors are designed to be energy efficient. They typically feature:
• Foam Insulation: Closed-cell polyurethane foam is injected into the hollow spaces of the frame and scrollwork.
• Dual-Pane or Triple-Pane Glass: Insulated, tempered glass (often with a Low-E coating) helps reduce thermal transfer.
• Weather Stripping: High-quality seals around the frame and operable glass panels prevent drafts.
Yes. We provide an option to create a thermally broken doors. Thermal breaks are necessary in very cold climates. Thermal breaks are created by inserting a non-metal insulator between the outside material and inside. This creates a “break” in the material so cold does not radiate from the outside to the inside. Some clients have opted for thermal breaks in warmer climates. This is perfectly acceptable but there is no real proof that there is an energy savings for warmer climates.
Please go to our Instant Quote page. Most single doors can range from $900-3000 depending on size. The cost can vary widely based on several factors:
• Size and Configuration: Single vs. double doors, as well as height and width.
• Customization: The complexity of the scrollwork, unique glass options, and hardware choices.
• Material Gauge: Doors made with a lower gauge (thicker, heavier steel, e.g., 12-gauge) are typically more expensive than those with a higher gauge (thinner).
Many ornamental iron doors feature operable glass panels. This is a highly valued feature that allows you to:
• Open the glass independently from the main door for ventilation (fresh air).
• Easily clean both the inside and outside of the glass.
• Speak to visitors without fully opening the main door.
Yes but you can opt for your own handles. Most standard handles will fit but there are some limitations.
Yes. Please see our Instant Quote page for options. Keep in mind there are Handle Pulls which give a larger, grand effect. These utilize a deadbolt ant roller catch to keep the door shut when the deadbolt is not engaged. There are also standard thumb latch styles as well. We can accommodate or provide the highest quality handles such as Baldwin, Westlock, etc.
We have used every color under the rainbow! However, most designer prefer matte black, dark bronze or aged bronze patina. By the way, your door color does not need to match your other windows. White windows are perfectly fine with a black door. The door is a signature piece of art that looks great on it’s own!
Quality iron doors are built using materials like 12-gauge steel and are finished with a multi-step protective process (e.g., galvanization, primer, and baked-on paint/powder-coating) to provide a high level of corrosion resistance. However, no iron is completely impervious to rust. Rust can occur on any door even store bought aluminum and steel doors. Rust can occur if the protective finish is chipped or scratched, exposing the metal to moisture.
Iron doors are generally low-maintenance. We recommend cleaning the door and glass once a month, or at least a few times a year, to remove dirt, grime, and environmental contaminants. If you live in a coastal or high-humidity area, more frequent cleaning is advisable.
Any door including steel, wood, iron and fiberglass needs to be repainted just like your house. We have a 5 year warranty on the paint finish but we have had doors last 15 years before needing paint. It all depends on your porch covering, the direction it faces and exposure.
1. Solution: Mix a mild, plant-based dish soap (non-abrasive) with warm water.
2. Clean: Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently wipe down the iron. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals/solvents, which can damage the protective finish.
3. Rinse: Thoroughly rinse the door with clean, low-pressure water to remove all soap residue.
4. Dry: Crucially, completely dry the door with a lint-free cloth, ensuring moisture is removed from all crevices and scrollwork.
Address them immediately!
1. Gently scrub the rust spot with fine-grit sandpaper or a wire brush to remove the rust and flaking paint.
2. Wipe the area clean to remove debris.
3. Apply a rust-inhibiting primer, followed by the touch-up paint provided by the manufacturer.
Yes just like any other door. To ensure smooth operation and prevent squeaks, apply a small amount of silicone-based spray or light oil or lithium grease to the hinges 1 times per year, depending on your climate and door usage. Prestige uses a high quality ball bearing hinge unlike other doors that use grease fitting type hinge. Believe it or not some manufacturers use a hinge that requires an automotive grease gun!
Gauge refers to the thickness of the steel used in the door frame. The lower the gauge number, the thicker the steel. A We use a 12-gauge frame as a high-quality standard, being much thicker, heavier, and more durable than 14-gauge or 16-gauge steel used by other manufacturers.
Inswing: The door opens into the house (most common for residential entry doors).
Outswing: The door opens outward from the house (sometimes used for patios or to meet certain building codes).
