Steel vs. Fibreglass Entry Doors: Which Material Offers Better Performance?
Niagara Falls neighbourhoods range from character homes near Fallsview to family properties in Stamford and Chippawa — and each one benefits from a different type of entry system. Here’s a quick comparison to help you choose the door material that best matches your home’s style, durability needs, and long-term performance.
Steel Entry Doors
- Excellent security and impact resistance
- Sleek, smooth panels with crisp architectural lines
- Budget-friendly while still offering strong performance
- Works well on modern, heritage, and brick-front homes
Fibreglass Entry Doors

How We Install Dorplex Entry Doors
A quality door installation starts with the opening, not just the door itself. Our Niagara Falls crews use a full-frame replacement method to ensure your new entry, garden, or French door sits correctly, seals tightly, and performs well in the region’s changing climate.
- Remove the existing door, frame, and exterior trims down to the rough opening.
- Inspect the sill and surrounding framing for moisture, rot, or structural concerns.
- Position the new Dorplex door frame level and square for proper operation.
- Secure the frame with durable fasteners and shims where needed.
- Insulate and seal all perimeter gaps to reduce drafts and moisture penetration.
- Install fresh exterior brickmould and trims for a clean, finished look.
- Apply premium exterior caulking and complete any 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 tightest fit and the best long-term performance.
It’s a bit more work on installation day, but it ensures reliable results in Niagara Falls’ variable weather and moisture conditions.
Entry Doors Built for Niagara Falls Weather and Home Styles
Niagara Falls homeowners deal with a unique mix of lake-driven winds, heavy temperature swings, and older neighbourhood construction that requires a proper full-frame door installation to prevent drafts and moisture issues. Our team installs entry doors specifically suited for Niagara Falls’ climate to ensure long-term performance.
Many homes in areas like Stamford Centre, Chippawa, and the Lundy’s Lane corridor were built with older wooden frames that shift over time. Without a full-frame replacement, new doors can never seal properly. That’s why every Dorplex steel or fibreglass door we install includes complete frame removal, low-expansion foam sealing, and factory weatherstripping designed for Niagara’s colder winters.
Whether you’re upgrading a classic brick home near Drummondville or a newer build on the south end, our entry door installations are tailored to your home’s structure and exposure. The result is a quieter, warmer, and more secure front entrance built to handle Niagara Falls weather year after year.
What to Expect on Installation Day
When you schedule an entry door replacement with Great Northern Home Exteriors, our team treats your home with care from the moment we arrive. We show up on time, review the installation plan with you, and make sure floors, walls, and the surrounding doorway are protected before any work begins.
- ✓ Careful removal of your existing door, frame, and exterior trim
- ✓ Inspection of the opening, sill, and subfloor area for signs of moisture or damage
- ✓ Precise installation of your new Dorplex entry system so it sits level, square, and plumb
- ✓ Sealing around the frame using low-expansion foam to help reduce drafts and air leaks
- ✓ New exterior brickmould and interior casing installed as needed for a clean, finished look
- ✓ Final hardware, weatherstripping, and operation check, followed by a thorough cleanup
Before we pack up, we’ll walk you through your new front, garden, or French door, answer any questions, and confirm that everything opens, closes, and locks smoothly so you feel confident in the installation.

Niagara Falls Entry Door Questions, Answered
How long does a typical entry door installation take?
Most entry door installations are completed within a single day. Our crew removes the existing unit, installs your new Dorplex door system, seals the perimeter with low-expansion foam, and completes exterior trim and cleanup before leaving.
Do you install garden doors and French doors?
Yes — we install steel and fibreglass entry doors, including garden doors and French doors, custom-sized for your opening. Each unit includes factory weatherstripping and is installed using a wood frame and low-expansion foam for a tight seal.
Can you match the trim and colour to my home?
Absolutely. We provide factory paint options, woodgrain finishes, and custom exterior capping to help your new entry door blend cleanly with your home’s brick, siding, and exterior colours.
Will a new entry door help reduce drafts?
Yes — modern entry doors use insulated cores, quality weatherstripping, and a proper full-frame installation. This helps reduce drafts and improve comfort, especially in older neighbourhoods like Stamford, Chippawa, and Silvertown.
