Wooden doors are a timeless option that offer classic beauty and durability. They can be customized with a wide range of wood species, stains and finishes.
Wood
Wood doors enhance the beauty and elegance of any home. They’re available in a variety of styles that work with every style of architecture, from Mediterranean villas to Key West-inspired tropical vibes. They’re also designed to stand up to Florida’s challenging weather, with solid-wood rails, stiles, and panels.
Choose panel doors for a versatile, customizable look or slab doors for clean, simple lines that blend seamlessly into modern homes. For a more dramatic appearance, opt for arched doors. They’re also great for ventilating your home, and their unique design stands out from conventional rectangular doors.
Fiberglass
Fiberglass doors look like wood, yet they resist rot and warping. They’re an ideal option for coastal homes with high humidity or salt air. They also provide better energy efficiency than steel and wood doors.
These doors come in a variety of styles to match the architecture of any home. They’re available with expansive glass areas that bring in natural light. Some have frosted or textured glass to balance privacy with visual interest.
Many homeowners choose fiberglass doors for their affordability, durability, and energy efficiency. They can also add a wide range of hardware and accessories to customize their look.
Steel
Known for their strength and security, steel doors are a powerful deterrent to intruders. They also provide unparalleled protection and can be tailored to a variety of design preferences.
Designed with a soundproof and energy-efficient core, they are the ideal choice for South Florida lifestyle homes. They can be customized with lites and decorative flourishes to enhance curb appeal.
By combining the best attributes of several materials, composite doors offer superior insulation and durability. They can stand up to harsh weather conditions, including hurricane-force winds. They also support a range of styles and finishes that can boost the resale value of your home.
Composite
Composite doors incorporate several materials to create an energy-efficient front door that resists rot, fading, mold, mildew, salt, insects, and pollutants. They are available in a wide variety of styles, colors, and glazing options to complement any home.
They also feature advanced multipoint locking systems to protect homes against intruders. Designed to resist dents and scratches, they are also much harder to break into than traditional wood or uPVC doors. Customize them with a wealth of handles, knockers, and letter boxes for the perfect first impression. Forte composite doors are an expertly crafted blend of style and functionality, guaranteeing unparalleled thermal efficiency.
Full-Frame Window Replacement
Full-frame replacement involves removing existing window frames down to the studs, along with the surrounding trim, siding and brickwork. This allows for a more thorough installation and a tight seal to prevent air leaks and lower utility costs.
This is also the superior option if you have rotting or other structural issues with your existing frame that need to be addressed before installing your new window. It also provides the opportunity to upgrade the overall style of your home with a fresh, updated aesthetic.
If you’re happy with the size, shape and operating style of your existing windows, a retrofit window replacement is a more budget-friendly option. This involves fitting new residential windows into the existing frame and is a much faster process.
Insert Window Installation
Unlike full-frame window replacement, an insert window installation preserves your existing frame, allowing new residential windows to fit seamlessly into the opening. This approach is less invasive and can save you money in the long run through improved energy efficiency.
Choose from a range of glass types that suit your preferences and home design. For instance, obscure glass offers privacy while tempered glass is four times stronger than regular glass. Moreover, double-pane windows with Argon gas offer superior insulation and help reduce your utility bills.
