Entrance doors come in many shapes and sizes and can make a difference in the architectural appearance of your home. Unfortunately for years, even the best-made doors had wood jambs and moldings on the exterior that turned a positive architectural feature into a negative one real quick. If you have had any kind of entry door with wood jambs for more than a few years chances are the lower portions of the jambs are a bit unsightly and on their way to causing you some problems.
When replacing an entry door there are many things to consider, type of door, style, colors, hardware, etc. But for the purposes of this article, we are focusing on the jambs and exterior trim of the door. Many manufacturers now offer a Frame Saver option and a composite frame and trim option for your entry doors. You can also add a factory-applied aluminum cladding in the color of your choice. A continuous sill is also an important feature to seek. Do your homework and make sure you know what you are purchasing or in just a few short years you will be very frustrated with your new door unit.
