Lowery's Tips & Trends

Which Front Door Material is Right for You?

At Lowery’z, we believe your front door should reflect your home’s character and meet your performance expectations. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the right material:


Wood & Aluminum-Clad Wood Doors

  • Best for: Classic beauty and full customization
  • Style match: Traditional to modern, depending on design
  • Why Payson homeowners love it: Wood brings warmth, charm, and natural energy efficiency. For added durability in changing mountain climates, go with an aluminum-clad exterior—low maintenance with timeless appeal.
  • Pro tip: Choose glass inserts or decorative grilles to make your entryway truly one-of-a-kind.

Fiberglass Front Doors

  • Best for: Durability with a wood-look finish
  • Style match: Transitional or craftsman-style homes
  • Why it’s popular here: Fiberglass resists dents, scratches, and warping. It’s ideal for Payson’s changing temps and offers the look of wood without the upkeep.
  • Pro tip: Choose from wood-grain textures or smooth finishes, and add glass panels to let natural light in without sacrificing efficiency.

Steel Front Doors

  • Best for: Strength, security, and sleek simplicity
  • Style match: Modern or contemporary homes
  • Why it works: These doors are built tough, offer great insulation, and require very little maintenance. A solid steel panel provides maximum privacy and peace of mind.
  • Pro tip: Paint it any color you like—steel gives you an even, clean finish that lasts.

Glass Panel Options

Want to brighten up your entryway? Front doors with glass panels are available across all materials and styles. From decorative and obscure glass for privacy to full-view options for letting in natural light, we’ve got you covered.
All our glass-paneled doors come with energy-efficient Low-E insulating glass, making them a smart choice for Payson’s four-season climate.
