So if you want to update your doorway but you are not sure about the price, then let me give you some pointers. All sorts of things will affect the price and/or make it skyrocket, so let’s talk about some of those costs. Firstly; material choice will vastly effect the amount you pay for your new doors. Wood is a reasonably cheap material – but it is better for a farm gate than for automatic revolving doors!
There are several different types of metal, glass and plastic doors for you to chose from. Plastic will generally be the cheapest and has the bonus of being one of the easiest to maintain – but it doesn’t quite give that suave, professional finish that we mentioned earlier. Glass is slightly more expensive but will give you lots of work in terms of maintenance as you struggle to keep it fingerprint free or risk looking grubby – and metal is the best choice for a professional and sanitary finish, although the doors are always heavy should something go wrong with the control unit and you need to operate them manually.
Door types can also affect price. Rather obviously, a simple wooden door will be cheaper than any other, more advanced doorway – but that doesn’t mean that you can’t have some fairly elaborate wooden doors, too. Wood is a nice choice in Ontario, although it needs a little varnishing to keep it from weathering, the climate here is good enough that the wood doesn’t simply rot away from exposure once it is treated!
