Entry doors…fiberglass vs. steel

[martinslanding]

looking to replace a couple entry doors...one from garage to backyard other garage to house.

old ones are steel, was just going to get new steel ones then saw these fiberglass doors?

pros? cons?

I like the fiberglass ones. They don't dent or rust. But they will crack if they get hit really hard when it's cold.

with all the dents I have in my steel doors, I'd be tempted to try fiberglass

I put a fiberglass one in my house three years ago. I really like it. Seems warmer than the steel ones. Aside from that I don't notice any difference except price.

Have to be careful with fiberglass. If you put full light storm door on and have direct sun light in the summer the heat generated between the two doors will warp the fiberglass. Learned the hard way

THIS!

I have a Larson full view storm door on a west facing entry door. The steel entry door gets so hot in the evenings you can't touch it. I think I'm going to have the storm door glass tinted to try and remedy the issue.
