Fiberglass vs. Wood Doors: Which Is Right for Your Home?

Trying to decide between a fiberglass exterior door and a traditional wood door? Let’s break it down.

Wood doors are classic and timeless. They offer beautiful natural grain and bring a warm, traditional look to your home. But they do require regular maintenance to protect against moisture, warping, and rot. Over time, they may need refinishing to keep looking their best.

Fiberglass doors, on the other hand, are built for durability. They resist dents, scratches, and weather damage—making them a great option for high-traffic areas or extreme climates. Many are designed to mimic the look of real wood, but without the upkeep.

Fiberglass is also typically more energy-efficient and lower maintenance than wood, though wood still wins in terms of authentic beauty and charm.

So which is right for you? If you want the natural look and don’t mind some upkeep, wood may be the way to go. If you’re after long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance, fiberglass is a smart choice.
