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

  • Authentic woodgrain appearance without the maintenance
  • Dent-, warp-, and moisture-resistant for long-lasting durability
  • Among the most energy-efficient door options available
  • Ideal for Niagara Falls’ humidity and freeze–thaw climate cycles

Still comparing your options? We can bring samples, walk you through the benefits of each material, and help you choose the door that best suits your home’s curb appeal, comfort needs, and budget.

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.

  1. Remove the existing door, frame, and exterior trims down to the rough opening.
  2. Inspect the sill and surrounding framing for moisture, rot, or structural concerns.
  3. Position the new Dorplex door frame level and square for proper operation.
  4. Secure the frame with durable fasteners and shims where needed.
  5. Insulate and seal all perimeter gaps to reduce drafts and moisture penetration.
  6. Install fresh exterior brickmould and trims for a clean, finished look.
  7. 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.
