The most common choice for durability and value — steel resists dents better than aluminum and needs less maintenance than wood.
Real wood and composite carriage doors add distinct curb appeal — carriage-style hardware gets installed to match the aesthetic, not just the panel.
Lightweight aluminum frames with glass panels suit modern architectural styles — we reinforce mounting hardware since glass changes weight distribution.

Older homes sometimes have openings that don't match standard sizes — we measure twice before ordering custom material.
