Energy Efficient Doors

Reduce Energy Costs

One of the smartest ways to cut down on heating and cooling expenses is by installing energy efficient doors. These doors are specifically designed to minimize energy loss and help maintain consistent indoor temperatures throughout the year. Whether you’re dealing with scorching summer heat or freezing winter temperatures, these specialized doors offer a practical and cost-effective solution.

The reason energy efficient steel doors work so well is because of their unique construction. These hollow metal doors constructed with  two pieces of steel with a together with a specialized insulating core in the center. This core plays a crucial role in preventing thermal transfer, meaning it helps keep warm air in during the winter and out during the summer. As a result, these doors significantly reduce the U-value, which measures the rate of heat transfer. A lower U-value means less energy is required to maintain a comfortable indoor environment, directly translating into lower utility bills.

Many design professionals are turning to energy efficient doors and frames to meet regional codes and reduce energy cost requirements for building owners. In fact, many new construction and renovation projects now prioritize energy efficiency not just for cost savings, but also for environmental impact and sustainability goals. Manufacturers generally test to SDI-113 for the thermal transmittance of steel door and frame assemblies.
