All the advantages of steel exterior doors

Steel exterior doors – durable, secure, and stylish

Steel doors have many advantages — they are highly durable and resistant to mechanical damage. They can withstand changing weather conditions and, most importantly, offer a strong sense of security for the people living inside. Thoughtful construction, modern technology, and appealing design make them an excellent long-term investment.

The phrase “steel doors” may bring to mind bulky, industrial-style constructions or utility room entrances. In reality, all models in our collection are modern, top-quality steel door solutions that combine the material’s best features with attractive design — contemporary, elegant, and full of character. Steel doors are also a great alternative to wooden doors. Of course, each option has its pros and cons, but high-quality steel doors are definitely worth considering when making your choice.


What makes steel exterior doors so exceptional?

The answer lies in their advanced construction and technical specifications. Pantor steel doors feature galvanized steel cladding and offer excellent thermal insulation — although effectiveness depends on the specific model. When selecting a door, be sure to check its structure and the type of core insulation used. Also important are the frame, threshold, and sealing system.

Since January 2021, the legally required thermal transmittance value for exterior doors in Poland has been 1.3 W/(m²·K). Our product range includes models with a U-value as low as 0.75 W/(m²·K). The lower the value, the better the thermal insulation and the lower your heating bills.


Soundproofing and privacy

Steel doors can also significantly reduce noise. The key parameter here is Rw, which indicates the level of acoustic insulation. The higher the Rw value, the better the soundproofing from external noise. Importantly, this works both ways: a high Rw rating also improves indoor privacy by preventing sounds from escaping outside — meaning conversations and household noises stay within your home.


Built for all weather conditions

Steel exterior doors are built to last. They’re highly resistant to extreme weather — whether it’s frost, snow, scorching sun, or heatwaves. They also handle mechanical wear and tear extremely well. If your household leads a busy lifestyle and your doors will be in constant use, steel is a smart choice. It will live up to your expectations and serve your family reliably for many years.


What to consider when choosing steel doors

While appearance is important, be sure to first examine the door’s construction and technical features. Pay attention to the U-value (thermal insulation) and Rw rating (acoustic insulation). Don’t evaluate the door leaf alone — consider the entire system, including the frame, threshold, and seals.
