From the traditional mansions of River Oaks to the quirky homes in Houston Heights, our city’s residential architecture includes many styles. Accent your home’s aesthetic with a custom designed steel or fiberglass door.
Doors are more than just gateways to your home; they offer ironclad protection from the elements and uninvited guests. The right front door can elevate your aesthetic and make a lasting impression on visitors.
Contemporary
Contemporary style is a current, evolving design trend that blends straight lines with curves and favors neutral hues to create an open feel. Whether your household embraces the whole Contemporary style or you just want to incorporate elements of it, you can easily create a cohesive look with doors and windows that reflect this design choice.
Front doors with glass are popular choices that let in light and add eye-catching appeal to entryways. They complement modern homes, from the mansions of River Oaks to the row houses in the Houston Heights. Choose from single glass door panels, sidelights or a full window in the door to brighten up your entranceway. Fiberglass front doors are also a smart choice, as they resist warping from Houston’s humid subtropical climate.
Traditional
A traditional home has a two story box structure and is often more symmetrical than other home styles. Front doors with a bold look, like those with glass windows and hardware, will complement these types of homes. They can also come with a low U-Factor to help insulate your home for warmer Houston weather.
Whether you live in a two-story colonial house in Cypress or a mid-century bungalow in Memorial Bend, the right door can elevate your home’s appearance and protect it from the elements. Fiberglass doors with wood-look finishes are an ideal choice for traditional homes, since they mimic the beauty of natural hardwood without the upkeep.
Rustic
Rustic doors feature natural textures and earthy color schemes that encourage nature-inspired interior design. This style can transform a home into everything from a shabby chic farmhouse to a woodland cabin. It’s also perfect for homeowners who love DIY projects since it emphasizes handmade showpieces.
Solid wood doors tend to darken the doorway, so consider adding sidelights. These tall windows on one or both sides of the door let in more daylight while still giving your home an old-fashioned feel.
When shopping for rustic doors, look for a vendor with local affiliations and high peer ratings. This will ensure that you’re working with a reputable company that cares about the quality of its products and services.
Black
Black doors work beautifully with any home’s color palette. Whether your house is a traditional mansion in River Oaks or a Hill Country-inspired ranch in Cypress, black front doors add charm and an upscale appearance. They contrast beautifully with light-colored siding and window trim. Black door colors also look great with natural wood accents and stone. If you want to add a bit of drama and sophistication to your entryway, consider choosing a black front door with divided glass windows. This allows natural light to enter while retaining a structured and symmetrical look.
Fiberglass
Fiberglass doors offer a range of benefits that make them ideal for homeowners who are looking to upgrade. They are energy-efficient, rot & moisture-resistant and require minimal upkeep to look beautiful for years to come.
Masonite offers three fiberglass door families that provide a variety of panel designs and glass options to suit your aesthetic preferences. Each family offers superior architectural design and a choice of smooth or textured finishes.
Choose from a wide selection of Signet stains that enhance the natural wood grain texture of your fiberglass door. These stains resist fading and keep your door looking vibrant for years to come.
Wood
Solid wood doors are a classic choice that complement almost any home design. They’re durable and can stand up to the Texas weather, including heat and humidity. They’re also energy efficient, minimizing heat transfer and regulating temperatures throughout the year. Available in a wide variety of styles, solid wood door options include traditional panel designs, colonial-style homes, and modern doors with geometric shapes that work well with concrete or exposed wood looks. Choose from mahogany and knotty alder for a natural beauty that can be customized with stains, glass inserts, or decorative items.
