For a quality material that’s built to last, it’s hard to beat a steel entry door. Steel is one of the most weather-resistant materials and showcases a sleek look while increasing your home’s safety and curb appeal.
Popular Uses
People like steel for its durability, low maintenance and added safety features. The door itself isn’t solid steel — which would be too heavy for your frame and hinges to hold — but rather an exterior of steel around a core of another material, typically vinyl. Still, it’s the exterior that counts, keeping your door looking, and working, well for years to come. Pella Windows & Doors of Omaha and Lincoln also offers a variety of finishes to match your home’s aesthetic, whether you want a traditional, wood appearance or a sleek, contemporary look.

Frequently Asked Questions about Steel Entry Doors
Are steel doors energy efficient?
Steel doors are very energy efficient. Though solid steel is a great conductor of heat which is not ideal in an entryway, these doors contain a thermal break in-between two pieces of steel which helps prevent temperature loss. In many cases steel can outperform fiberglass as one of the most energy efficient materials for front entryways.
Do Pella steel doors come with a fire rating?
Yes. Pella steel doors come with the option of a 20-minute or 90-minute fire rating.
What’s the advantage of a steel door over a fiberglass door?
Steel and fiberglass share many of the same qualities. Both are durable, low-maintenance, very energy efficient and usually less costly than wood. When trying to decide between the two, it often comes down to personal preference. Schedule a free in-home consultation or stop by one of Pella Windows & Doors of Omaha and Lincoln’s showrooms to get a feel for which material is right for you.
What’s the advantage of a steel door over a wood door?
Steel has several advantages over a wood door. It’s much more durable, low maintenance and energy efficient.

At the end of the day, it comes down to your personal preference.
