Boost Curb Appeal with a New Entry Door

Are you tired of coming home to the same, drab entry way day after day? Does your entry door struggle to open or lets cold air in throughout the winter? A new entry door can help! Installing a new entry door for your Columbus, Ohio home can not only boost the curb appeal of your home but increase energy efficiency to boot. With so many options, it can feel overwhelming to determine what is best for your home, but at HEGG Windows & Doors our qualified team members can help you identify the best selections for your home so you find an entry door that you’ll love for years.

Different Types of Entry Doors

Every home is different, so it makes sense that every door is different too! Entry doors come in a variety of styles so you can find the perfect option for your home. Entry door configurations can include:

• Single Entry Door
• Double Entry Door
• Entry Door with Single or Double Sidelites
• Entry Door with a Transom

Finding the ideal entry door for your Columbus, Ohio home starts with identifying the best configuration for your door opening, so it is important to discuss these options with your project representative so you are aware of all the possible options. 

Entry Door Options

Once you have identified the perfect configuration for your entry door, your decisions are not over. Entry doors come in various materials, colors, and styles, so it is crucial to find the perfect combination that suits your needs.

• Materials- Entry doors are available in fiberglass or steel, and both have benefits that could be of use for your project.
• Colors- The color options for your new entry door are seemingly endless, with a variety of stain choices, paint options, and even custom color options available.
• Styles- You have decided on the configuration of your entry door (single door, double door, transoms, etc.), but you still have to decide the style you prefer. Do you want a door with half to two thirds glass? Is that glass decorative or clear? Or do you prefer a shaker style entry door? There are a variety of combinations available so that you can find the entry door of your dreams.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I replace just the sidelites or transom of my entry door?

• Most entry doors with sidelites and transoms come as single units, and it is not possible to replace only one portion of the unit. If your door has sidelites or a transom, most of the time that means the entire door unit (sidelites, transom, frame and door in all) will need to be replaced.

 Is it better to just repair my entry door?

• Repair may seem like a feasible option; however, repair may only alleviate the symptoms short term and not solve the root issue that is causing operational issues. Additionally, repairing an entry door will not update the style, meaning you miss the benefits of upgrading curb appeal.

My front door is fine, but I need a new entry door from the garage into my home, do you do that?

• Yes! We offer fire-rated entry doors that will serve perfectly as an entry door from your garage into your home.

How can I decide on the best style for my home?

• With so many options, picking the perfect one can feel overwhelming. Our team members here at HEGG work closely with you to help you identify the solution that best fits your home, style, and budget. If you are more visual, our manufacturing partner Provia offers a visualizer tool here in which you can virtually “build” an entry door and superimpose it on your home so you can envision the final product.
