The traditional styling of the Money Saving Custom Door: Hardwood Door has stood the test of time. Some of our Southern Front Door clients adore the natural style of this door, and the natural feel it brings to a home. The fact that this door can put money back in your pockets is deemed as a bonus.

Money Saving Custom Door: Hardwood Door

Here are the main ways a hardwood door can save money and save you energy:

  • A Natural Insulator. Since it comes from real wood, hardwood doors are not easily destroyed by the outdoor elements. As a result, the doors can assist in maintaining the wanted temperature of your home without your heating and cooling system overworking.
  • The Material. Our doors are made of the following types of wood: Mahogany and Knotty Alder. These types of wood are known to be very durable which gives your door a lifespan advantage.
  • The Outside Air Stays Outsides. The Q-LON weatherstrip restricts the outside elements from entering your home. When your cooling or warming your home, your AC Unit is using energy that you will pay for on your monthly bill. However, if your door isn’t properly sealed, the outside elements can rush under your door, and your unit is overworking to maintain your desired temperature.  As a result, your unit has to unnecessarily use additional energy to make your home comfortable which leaves you with a hefty energy bill.

How to Choose a Finish for Your Custom Door

Southern Front Door has a seven-step finishing procedure to ensure all of the custom doors are of top quality. The following information explains each of the steps in our process:

  • Inspecting and Hand Sanding. We carefully inspect the condition of the custom door before beginning the finishing process. Each door is sanded by hand to create a perfect base for the finishing process.
  • Staining the Door with an Oil-Based Stain. Clients can choose from 22 different stain colors. The pigments in our stains are resistant to bleeding or fading mainly because of the use of oil-based stains. We leave the stain on the door for a certain time so the color can penetrate deeply into the wood.
  • First Coat of Marine Grade, Oil Based Top Coat. The door is inspected again after the staining process. Then, it is lightly sanded by hand again to prepare for the application of the marine grade, oil-based top coat.
  • Hand Sanding. Once the top layer has dried, the door is inspected, and hand sanded in detail.
  • Second Coat of Marine Grade, Oil-Based Top Coat. The second coat of marine grade, oil-based top layer is applied.
  • Hand Sanding. This step is the last inspection and hand sanding stage to ensure the beauty of the custom door.
  • Third and Final coat of Marine Grade, Oil Based Top Coat. We apply a heavy final coat of finishing to provide extra protection against the outdoor elements.

Your custom door from Southern Front Door is beautiful but did you know it can lower your energy bill? How Your Custom Door Can Save You Money is attractive because it can help reduce one of the most significant bills in your house: The electricity bill.

How Your Custom Door Can Save You Money

Our custom doors at Southern Front Doors include Q-LON weather-stripping for a tight seal. As a result, the door is sealed correctly, and the energy is no longer rushing in and out of the door. Here are some ways the Q-LON weatherstrip can benefit you and your home:

  • The Outside Air Stays Outsides. The Q-LON weatherstrip restricts the outside elements from entering your home. When your cooling or warming your home, your AC Unit is using energy that you will pay for on your monthly bill. However, if your door isn’t properly sealed, the outside elements can rush under your door, and your unit will consistently work to maintain a certain temperature.  As a result, your unit has to unnecessarily use additional energy to make your home comfortable which leaves you with a hefty energy bill.
  • Sealing All of the Gaps. The Q-LON weatherstrip is available to accompany the most common door material. The weatherstrip can seal the tiniest door gap and can be cut to any desired length to fit smaller doors and spaces. The energy saving weatherstrip is made of polyethylene-clad urethane foam and a special backing for certain door types. The strips are currently available in wood, metal, and vinyl.

Did you know that Southern Front Doors was an exhibitor at the last Cy-Fair Home and Garden Show? I hope we didn’t miss you because we had a great time meeting new clients and seeing the familiar faces of some of our existing clients. While enjoying the show, we learn many Reasons Why Homeowners Should Attend Home and Gardens Shows and wanted to give you this information so you can catch us at the next one.

Reasons Why Homeowners Should Attend Home & Garden Shows

Although there are personal reasons why homeowners attend these types of shows, here are some general reasons why people typically visit:

  • One Stop Shop. This tradeshow generally caters to the niche of home improvement and gardening. This show not only give ideas, tips, and advice on how to upgrade your home, it also offers consumers direct access to the products and services of companies within the industry.
  • Money Saver. Usually, when a consumer attends a home show, they are tempted to buy a product or purchase someone’s service. So, vendors typically offer significant discounts and extremely affordable prices to the attendees. It’s a win-win situation for everyone.
  • Real Life Comparison. Hundreds of different vendors participate in the tradeshow essentially to find new customers. This fact is your chance to find out what everyone offers and what they charge to choose the best company for your home improvement projects.
  • DIY Counseling. We understand that this is the age of Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Projects. However, people need guidance to help them properly execute their genius plan.  The Home and Garden Show offers workshops and exhibits to inform the attendees of the new trends of the industry and how to address specific home improvement and gardening problems.
  •   It’s a Party. Above learning and buying, there are industry related games and activities for every family member. Also, there are usually food and drink tastings, live music, food trucks and various attractions such as a butterfly house. Each show is unique and wants the attendees to enjoy the show and all of its features.

Which material is the best for your custom door? The great debate of Iron VS Steel is a familiar debate when customers think of style and safety. However, which material is best for you and your home? Here’s some information about both materials that should help to make this decision a little easier.

southern front steel doors

Steel Doors

The following factors are the advantages of Steel Doors:

  • Durability: Our steel doors are durable and sturdy thanks to the 18-gauge dent resistant and kick-proof steel. Since the steel door has a polystyrene or polyurethane core that’s covered in steel, it is less likely to warp or rot. As a result, the life expectancy of the door is increased. Manufacturers are so confident in this material, they tend to provide extended warranties to cover the durability and stability of the door.
  • Energy Efficiency: The patented thermal-break design of this door blocks the scorching heat and the brutal cold from entering your home. As a result, your energy bill should decrease.
  • Appearance: A steel door can highlight a beautiful home. The structure adds a curb appeal that will have your home labeled the most beautiful home on the block.

southern front iron doors new

Iron Doors

The following factors are the advantages of Iron Doors:

  • Durability:  Our doors are made with 14-gauge iron, 5/8 inch grill, and heavy-duty barrel hinges, prehung, e-coated, and powder coated. In addition to their sturdiness, iron doors are also fire resistant. As a result, iron doors are commonly used in government buildings and castles.
  • Appearance: This material is very artistic and unique. It creates a look similar to a castle door which sends a signal royalty is occupying your home.
  • Security: It is a well-known fact that iron doors are extremely difficult to breach. Burglars recognize the high level of difficulty needed to break into a sturdy wrought iron door. Its remarkable stability sends the message to outsiders that this particular family is NOT an easy target and they take their safety seriously. As a result, criminals’ deterrence stops them from unwelcomely entering your home.
