Metal Doors
Choose a commercial metal door with the right specs for your construction projectBy Christine Reeves, Writer Commercial metal doors come in a variety of sizes and weights for virtually every type of job. But before you place an order, it helps to know the difference between an iron door, a commercial metal door, and just a metal door – they are not all the same thing.
Metal doors are generally chosen for strength and durability, and they are more secure than wooden doors. An iron door is also strong but more decorative than a basic metal door. Hollow metal doors sacrifice some strength for practicality.
Metal commercial doors are a different grade than metal doors intended for residential use. Some metal commercial doors are built for installation in modular masonry construction and other applications not seen in residential buildings. Some advantages include:
1. Metal doors hard to break into, and help to beef up security.
2. With the right paint, a metal door durable and virtually maintenance-free.
3. Commercial metal doors come in a variety of attractive styles.
