Exterior doors act as a threshold between the old and the new – a barrier that separates the comfort of your interior from the harsh elements of the exterior. That’s why we believe your entry doors should be durable, and complement your home’s interior and exterior.
Like your HVAC system and your home’s insulation, exterior doors play a big role in your home’s energy performance. At Window World of Baton Rouge, our replacement doors are built with superior thermal insulation, low-E glass, tightly sealed weatherstripping, and additional energy-saving features to keep your home comfortable and your utility bills low.
The standard door is 80 inches tall, 36 inches wide, and 1 ⅜ inch thick. Exterior doors are the same height and width but are 1 ¾ inch thick instead.
To measure the size door that you need, start with the width of the door frame. Next, measure the height of the door frame. Afterward, measure the thickness of the door to get the full dimensions.
To paint a door, you can remove it from the hinges or paint it standing up. The first step is to prime the doors. Then, you can paint the door.
Consider the time of year when you are painting because you don’t want the temperature to be too hot or too cold. When you purchase a door from Window World, you can choose from a wide selection of door colors.
The perfect time to replace a door is anytime it is damaged or your energy costs are too high.
The cost of replacing a door depends on the type of door you choose. Please contact Window World of Baton Rouge for a free estimate.
No. Window World doors are custom-manufactured to fit the dimensions of your old door, allowing them to fit right into the existing space. If you would like to make your door larger, please discuss this with your Window World technician as that will require structural changes.
Not necessarily. Many times you can transfer your old door handle and locking mechanisms into a new door.
