The patio and the facade of your home are what you see from the outside, but one key element is the front door of your home, it is the first thing people see when they arrive, the main entrance door. Be sure to make an excellent first impression with an impressive entry to receive your visitors.

- A steel jamb and threshold to require low maintenance, and not wood that requires paint and is damaged by moisture.
- Steel hardware and heavy-duty hinges welded to the door, not screwed, and if there are screws that are stainless steel.
- Thermally broken steel to provide that the metal becomes hot and it is impossible to touch it and that it transfers the heat inside the house.
