The 10 Best Interior and Exterior Door Options For Your Home

*This is a collaborative post.

The front door is often the first thing you see when you approach a house, and it sets the tone for what the home will be like. If it’s shabby and worn down, people might think the house is the same. Even worse, a bad door might not do its job properly. 

A door should be secure, so you feel safe, and it should insulate your home. And, of course, a door needs to open and close easily, with a working lock. This is the bare minimum of what you would expect, so if your door starts to fail, it’s time to update your home and start looking for a replacement.

While the exterior doors do the most hard work when it comes to the first impression, as well as keeping your home warm and safe, it’s worth looking at the interior doors as well. So, here is a quick overview of some of the most promising door providers and designs of this year, so you can have a functional and (hopefully) stylish door.

1. Steel Door Company

First, let’s start in the UK with the Steel Door Company, which is exactly what it says on the tin. If you have a specific design in mind, you’re better off going for a specialist provider rather than a general contractor, which is why the Steel Door Company is such a good option if you want steel doors.

Steel is a great material for construction, because it lasts for decades and you don’t even have to look after it too much. Even better, it’s really versatile, so you can get some really clean and modern looking doors and door-frames inside and outside of your home.

2. Pella

Next, we move to a USA provider of doors, which is Pella. This company specializes in exterior doors, and they can offer a variety of different doors, ranging from hinged and sliding doors to folding and multi-sliding doors. This means that they work in different spaces and are especially good for patio doors.

3. LEBO

But what about interior doors? In this case, LEBO is one of the leading providers around the world. Based in Germany, they bring German engineering to your home. Their doors are known to be reliable and durable, in most part thanks to the great materials and construction methods used to make them. You can choose between customizable styles or some pre-finished option for a quicker build.

4. CBW Doors

CBW stands for custom built windows, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t provide some great doors for both interior and exterior needs. They specialize in sleek, modern designs, which are great for newer builds or homes that want a bit of updating. There are also loads of customization options so that you can design the doors according to your needs, including choosing the materials, size, and accessories.

5. Weather Shield Windows & Doors

As yet another window company, Weather Shield Windows and Doors is known for attractive and functional windows and doors. They’re especially renowned for their front doors, which are sturdy and attractive. The workers don’t mind a challenge either, focusing on creative and adaptable solutions for different projects, so if you have slightly more niche needs, this might be the front door provider for you.

6. Brosco

Despite being based in the USA, Brosco offers its services worldwide, allowing anyone to access their doors. This company was founded in 1890, and has since expanded to three different facilities. This means that they can create a massive scale of doors, allowing them to provide great customer service and to provide different options for their customers.

As well as offering pre-hung door units for maximum convenience, they also offer custom wood and fiberglass doors, so you can tweak the design according to your preferences. This includes both exterior and interior doors.

7. Marvin

As well as dealing with residential clients, Marvin also specializes in commercial doors. They have a significant catalogue of interior door styles that can suit modern and traditional buildings alike. This includes sleek glass doors, sliding doors, and paneled doors. 

Marvin also focuses on sustainable business practices, so they try to be as energy efficient and environmentally friendly as possible. This includes their attitude when building and fitting doors, so they make sure that things are right the first time for minimum disruption.

8. Cocif

Cocif are based in Italy, and you can tell from their design choices and door options that they are primarily interested in high quality and craftsmanship. They offer premium, high-end choices, meaning that you pay a little more for a door, but what you receive is definitely worth the cost. They offer some stunning door options, some of which are traditional, but many of which feature innovative designs such as frameless doors. Just because a door is functional, it doesn’t mean it can’t make a statement.

9. Wayne Dalton

But what if you need something other than an ordinary exterior or interior door? If you need garage doors, then Wayne Dalton might be the best option for your home. While they’ve since expanded their operations to commercial industrial doors and even some residential options, they’re still considered one of the leading garage door providers in the USA. 

They operate from multiple massive state of the art facilities throughout the USA, and their garage doors can be designed for multiple purposes. So, whether you need a simple door to keep your property safe or something with more bells and whistles, they can give you options.

10. Rustica Hardware

Another slightly more niche option is Rustica Hardware. Rustica hardware offer a lot of different products, including hardware, lighting, sinks, and decorative pieces, but they also have a great selection of barn doors. 

As the name suggests, they’re great for more rustic properties and especially for barns. Their doors are perfectly functional without losing the aesthetic appeal that you might be interested in. So, whether you’re on working land or a homestead for your family, this might be an ideal option for your door needs.
