One of the most challenging decisions of building a home is to install the right kind of exterior doors. Choosing exterior doors isn’t just about looking at some doors and pick the one most appealing to you.

Function
Firstly, you cannot just select the same exterior doors for every place in your house. Different doors have different purpose. For instance, a front door has to be more protected from the elements. Furthermore, it is the door which catches the attention of visitors first, hence it should hold aesthetic values too.
The patio and back doors has to be more exposed to bad weather conditions, hence your back door should be sturdier than the front door to resist forces of nature. Also the patio door should be designed to offer good views.
Door frame size
It is a small but important detail which usually homeowners forget. If you are constructing a new house, then make sure your door frame can accommodate a standard size door. If you don’t pay attention to it, you may have to get a custom door, every time you go for replacement.
Materials
It is important to know about the different materials available for your door and their cost. Make sure you do a comparative study about their pros and cons and prices. Consider the quality and energy efficiency properties of different materials. It is worth to invest a little more and to save in the long run
Budget
Have a clear budget in the beginning of the project and stick to the amount. You may want to have a little extra, in case of emergency. However, make sure you don’t exceed the budget. Be smart and don’t waste time in looking at extremely expensive doors which are out of your league.
Energy efficiency
