Exterior door installation Barrie homeowners trust starts with stopping drafts, improving security, and choosing the right fiberglass or steel door.  Last January, a homeowner from Allandale called us in a panic. Her front door wouldn’t close properly,
and she could feel cold air pouring into her hallway.
“I can’t afford to heat the outdoors,” she told us. “Plus, I’m worried about security.”

She’s not alone. Every winter in Barrie, we get calls from homeowners dealing with drafty, worn-out doors that waste
energy and compromise home security. The real frustration is that most people don’t know which type of door will
actually solve both problems—keeping heat in and intruders out.

After installing hundreds of custom doors across Barrie neighbourhoods like
Holly, Painswick, and Georgian Drive, we’ve learned one key thing:
the right door depends on your priorities, your budget, and your home’s style.

What Makes a Door Both Energy-Efficient and Secure?

When homeowners ask us about door replacement, they usually want two things: lower heating bills and peace of mind.
Modern steel and fiberglass doors can deliver both—but in different ways.

Steel doors are the strongest option for security. They resist forced entry better than wood or fiberglass,
which is why many Barrie families choose steel for their front entrance. When installed properly with quality
weatherstripping and a polyurethane foam core, steel doors also provide excellent insulation.

Fiberglass doors offer the look of real wood without the problems. They won’t warp, crack, or rot during
Barrie’s freezing winters and humid summers. They insulate just as well as steel and can be stained or painted to match
your home’s style.

Both options work well. The real question is what matters most to you—maximum security, design flexibility, or a balance
of both.

Steel Door Installation in Barrie

Steel doors are the most popular choice for custom door installations in Barrie. They’re durable, affordable, and
available in many styles, from modern to traditional.

Modern Steel Doors

Modern steel doors feature clean, flat panels or simple horizontal and vertical lines. They’re a great fit for
contemporary homes or homeowners looking for a minimalist look.

Many modern steel doors include narrow vertical glass inserts, often about 7 inches wide and nearly full height.
These panels allow natural light into the entryway without sacrificing privacy or security.

We install steel doors in standard widths (32”, 34”, 36”, and 42”) and heights (80”, 82”, and 96”).
Custom sizes are available for non-standard openings.

Classic Steel Doors

Classic steel doors match the traditional style found in many Barrie homes. Common designs include six-panel and
two-panel layouts.

These doors are especially popular in older neighbourhoods like Allandale and South Shore,
where maintaining the home’s original character is important. They offer the same security and energy efficiency as
modern steel doors—the difference is purely in appearance.

Steel Door Color Options

Standard steel doors come factory-painted in white. Custom exterior colours or matching interior and exterior colours
are available as upgrades.

Steel doors can also be paired with sidelights to create wider entry systems, such as a 44-inch opening that brings
extra light into your foyer.

Fiberglass Door Installation

Fiberglass doors are ideal for homeowners who want the warmth of wood without the maintenance.
Unlike real wood, fiberglass won’t swell, crack, or rot.

Unfinished Fiberglass Doors

Many fiberglass doors feature realistic wood-grain textures that resemble oak, cherry, or mahogany.
These doors can be stained to match interior trim or painted any colour you choose.

Custom Fiberglass Door Styles

Fiberglass doors are available in modern, classic, and executive panel designs. Executive styles include decorative
glass and premium detailing, offering a high-end look without the cost of solid wood.

Like steel doors, fiberglass doors come in standard sizes and can be customized for unique openings.
