Signature Iron Entry Door

Cost

When comparing mid to low-grade steel or fiberglass doors, the cost difference between the two is fairly negligible. Although a low quality fiberglass door will crack or rot, and a cheap steel door may flake or peel.  Within high-end fiberglass and steel doors, fiberglass will almost always cost significantly more. Steel is often the better, and First Impression Security Doors offers

Signature Iron Entry Doors which have hand forged scrolls for a fraction of the Exclusive Iron Entry Door Plasma Cut product line. 

Maintenance

Most fiberglass doors have color mixed into the fiberglass instead of a surface color that extends through the thickness of the door.  Because of this, there are an extremely limited number of color options.  But if these doors are scratched or scuffed, the damage is not very noticeable. Wood doors, on the other hand are painted and if they are scratched or dented, the damage is particularly noticeable.  First Impression steel doors are powder coated not painted.  Powder coat is baked on and creates its own hard surface on the metal.  We offer over 60 powder coat colors which are all scratch, weather, and chip resistant.

Durability

Powdercoated steel doors and comparable to fiberglass doors in terms of a long lifespan. Once installed, these doors can be left untended for years, while a painted steel door may rust or corrode. Untreated rust or corrosion can compromise the security of the door.

Appearance

Popular fiberglass entry doors simulate a wood grain appearance. First Impression steel doors are custom fabricated to offer an array of unique designs in ornamental ironwork.  We have a multitude of different glass options to show off your iron work which also allow a lot of light into the home.  A Signature feature of First Impression's Doors is that the glass is hinged.  You will have a barrier between you and whoever is at your front door, and you can have the door closed and locked while allowing airflow through the home.

Insulation

Steel doors are usually better insulated than fiberglass units. This is due to the construction differences between the two doors. Our Steel doors are steel-skinned, filled with an expanding fully insulating foam core that helps to regulate temperatures.   Fiberglass doors are usually solid all the way through, and lack the insulated core found in steel doors.

Our new security door was installed we could not be happier with the final product!

We had such a positive experience with First Impression, starting with our initial visit to your Peoria showroom.  Randy did a great job of measuring and guiding us through all the options; and Raul, the installation technician, was very efficient, courteous, meticulous and knowledgeable.  He carefully explained each step of the installation process and provided us complete information re: cleaning, maintenance, etc.  We could have not asked for a BETTER team of experts!  And, the turnaround time was beyond wonderful!

We are certain to enjoy our new door for many years to come and will certainly recommend your company to friends!

Thank you again!
