Drafts or air leaks around the door
Difficulty opening, closing, or locking
Worn, damaged, or outdated doors
Moisture damage, swelling, or frame issues
Poor insulation in winter
A desire to improve curb appeal
Security concerns with older entry doors
Aging patio doors that no longer slide smoothly

Types of Replacement Doors We Install

The choice of door style ultimately depends on personal preference, architectural style, and functional requirements. Contempo Renovations provides a fantastic door installation service and helps selecting the right door for each home. Below are door types that commonly used in Calgary and surrounding areas.

FRONT ENTRY DOOR

The front entry door is an essential element of any home's exterior, as it sets the tone for the overall design and style of the house. There are several popular front door styles, including contemporary, modern, timeless, natural, and traditional. The price range of a front entry door can vary considerably based on style, customization and other components such as sidelights, transoms, hardware and custom finishes.

SINGLE BACK DOOR

A single back door consists of a single panel that swings open (inward or outward). It looks like a single front door but typically with a less complex design. The size of glass can vary depending on preference. A common upgrade is to add internal mini-blinds.

GARDEN PATIO DOOR

A garden patio door is an alternative to a sliding patio door. This door consists of two panels that typically swing outward with one side being the functional door and the other that vents like a window with a full length screen.

FRENCH DOOR

French doors are another option that can be used for either a front entry or patio door. French doors have the ability to open both sides and give a wider unobstructed opening than a single door. It is designed to swing open like a traditional door and offer a classic, elegant look that can enhance the overall aesthetic of the home.

SLIDING PATIO DOOR

Sliding patio doors are the most common for Canadian homes, they allows easy access to outdoor living spaces while maximizing natural light and providing excellent ventilation with their built in screen all while typically being the lowest maintenance and most budget friendly. They also can save space as they slide left or right unlike a hinged door option that swings either in or out into indoor or outdoor living spaces.

Energy-Efficient Doors for Alberta Weather
