What is the difference between a pre-hung and a slab door?

As you look for an exterior door, you may hear the terms 'pre-hung' and 'slab.' These different types of doors are designed to meet your unique needs and budget. Pre-hung doors are what most consumers associate with front doors. These doors are already hung in a frame and are designed to be easily installed into an existing opening. They come with almost everything needed to finish the installation. A slab door is just the door — no frame, no spots for hinges, and no doorknob. This is the most basic and least expensive option for an entry door. A door professional will trim the door as needed and install hardware.

What are the advantages of fiberglass or steel doors?

Fiberglass doors are very low-maintenance. They come in a wide variety of styles and textures and are very durable, holding up against scratches, dings, and weathering. They are a secure entry choice, as they absorb impact rather than creasing. Steel doors are also low-maintenance as they are coated or primed at purchase. The material strength makes them a great choice from a security standpoint, and they are an affordable option.

What is a flush-glazed door?

A flush glazed door is built around the glass eliminating the need for a doorlight frame and providing a very clean look. These doors are sometimes referred to as 'direct glazed.'
