Steel vs. Fibreglass Entry Doors: Which Option Fits Your Welland Home?
Welland neighbourhoods vary from heritage brick homes around Chippawa Park to newer builds in South Pelham and Dain City — and each style benefits from a different type of entry system. Here’s a quick comparison to help you choose the material that best suits your home’s appearance, durability needs, and long-term comfort.
Steel Entry Doors
- Strong security and impact resistance
- Smooth, modern panels with clean architectural lines
- Cost-effective while still offering excellent performance
- Great for brick-front and older homes with tight openings
Fibreglass Entry Doors
- Realistic woodgrain look without ongoing maintenance
- Resists dents, warping, and moisture issues
- Among the most energy-efficient options available
- Ideal for Welland’s humid summers and freeze–thaw cycles near the canal
Not sure which direction to go? We can bring samples, explain the benefits of each material, and help you choose the door that best fits your home’s curb appeal, comfort goals, and budget.

How We Install Dorplex Entry Doors in Welland
A proper door installation starts with the opening, not just the door itself. Our Welland crews use a full-frame replacement method to ensure your new entry, garden, or French door sits correctly, seals tightly, and performs well in Welland’s mix of older homes and newer construction.
- Remove the existing door, frame, and exterior trims down to the rough opening.
- Inspect the sill and surrounding framing for moisture, rot, or structural issues.
- Position the new Dorplex door frame level and square for smooth operation.
- Secure the frame with durable fasteners and shims where required.
- Insulate and seal all perimeter gaps to reduce drafts and moisture infiltration.
- Install fresh exterior brickmould and trims for a clean, finished appearance.
- Apply premium exterior caulking and complete final adjustments.
Why We Recommend Full-Frame Door Replacement
Reusing an older frame often leads to ongoing drafts, poor alignment, and compromised sills. A full-frame replacement allows us to correct these issues, giving your new Dorplex system the best fit and long-term performance.
It takes a bit more work on installation day, but it ensures reliable results in Welland’s humid summers and freeze–thaw cycles near the canal.
What to Expect on Your Welland Entry Door Installation Day
When you schedule an entry door replacement with Great Northern Home Exteriors, our team treats your Welland home with respect from the moment we arrive. We show up on time, review the installation plan with you, and protect floors, walls, and the surrounding doorway before any work begins.
- ✓ Careful removal of the existing door, frame, and exterior trim
- ✓ Inspection of the opening, sill, and surrounding framing for moisture or structural concerns
- ✓ Precise installation of your new Dorplex entry system so it sits level and operates smoothly
- ✓ Added insulation and foam sealing to reduce drafts and improve energy efficiency
- ✓ New exterior brickmould and interior casing installed for a clean, finished appearance
- ✓ Final hardware and weatherstripping check, followed by a full cleanup
Before we leave, we’ll walk you through your new front, garden, or French door, answer any questions, and confirm that everything opens, closes, and locks properly so you feel confident in the installation.

Welland Entry Door Replacement FAQ
How long does a typical entry door installation take?
Most entry door installations in Welland are completed in a single day. Our crew removes the old unit, installs your new full-frame Dorplex system, insulates the perimeter with low-expansion foam, and finishes the exterior trim before we leave.
Do you install garden doors and French doors?
Yes — we install steel, fibreglass, garden doors, and French doors, all custom-built to suit your opening. Every unit includes factory-installed weatherstripping and a properly installed wood frame that is sealed around the perimeter with low-expansion foam.
Can you match the trim and colour to my home?
Absolutely. We offer factory paint options, woodgrain finishes, and custom exterior capping to help your new entry door blend with your home’s brick, siding, or windows.
Will a new entry door help reduce drafts?
Yes — modern entry systems use insulated door cores, high-quality weatherstripping, and a tight full-frame installation with low-expansion foam around the wood frame. This helps minimize drafts, especially in older Welland homes near Chippawa Park and Downtown.
