The Beauty and Benefits of Steel Doors

A front entry door can be a featureless portal that is quickly unnoticed after stepping into a house, or it can be the beginning of a homeowner’s aesthetic, setting the design standards and artistic direction of what’s inside the home. Our homes allow us to create intimate designs that influence the flow of light, color, and emotion through the space for which we live.

But in addition to being a luxurious detail to your home, steel doors also have several practical benefits.

Steel doors are more secure than other metal options, especially for exterior doors. They are more energy efficient, highly durable to elements, and they provide solid latches and hinges that reduce the chances of burglary.

According to Techware, steel doors are also easier to maintain, last longer than other options with less overall wear, and are worth the extra expense when compared to wood doors.

Portella Steel Doors are made from 100% recyclable steel with factory installed glass with Low-E options for maximum energy efficiency. They are NFRC rated with thermally broken laser fusion welded and cold-rolled options. The glass is WET glazed, eliminating any possibility of moisture penetration. Certain types are available with hardware options including pivot hinges, door closers, and panic hardware for commercial applications.

While many daily items in our current culture are mass produced and largely the same across all consumers, Portella Steel Doors are custom crafted to fit the style and needs of multiple uses – french, sliding, double, bi-fold, or a simple, elegant single door. We have exterior and interior options, paint selection, and all are treated as custom sizing.
