Solid, durable and virtually maintenance-free, steel doors are a popular choice for front doors. Steel doors are energy efficient and come in a number of different styles, whether to complement the façade of a traditional- or a contemporary-style home.

The advantages of a steel door
Unlike wood doors, steel doors require very little maintenance. They are a very cost-effective option that’s available in various configurations (including single and double doors with or without transoms) and several different colors (including iron ore, which is currently very popular). They also come with a diverse selection of hardware, including classic or contemporary knobs and handles in polished or brushed nickel or bronze. A steel door with a window can offer various degrees of privacy while still letting in as much natural light as possible, thanks to numerous options in textured glass, such as clear, sanded, hammered or beveled. Portes et Fenêtres Verdun offers the design and manufacture of all of these options and more.


Technical Aspects of a Steel Door
A steel door features a 24-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel cladding. Its kiln-dried pine frame is reinforced around the handle area with a solid wood block for enhanced security. Inside, injected rigid polyurethane foam insulation provides excellent thermal performance while preventing warping. For optimal airtightness, magnetic and compression weatherstripping act as a barrier between the door and its frame when closed. Several handle models are available in bronze, nickel, or black finishes. This design ensures strong energy efficiency, as long as the installation is carried out properly (adequate insulation around the door, proper squaring).
This material offers exceptional durability and requires minimal maintenance. Portes et Fenêtres Verdun offers a wide selection of steel doors, including its locally created and manufactured Verdun collection, produced in their Saint-Bruno factory.
