Understanding Door Performance Ratings

Your new entry door isn’t just about looks—it plays a major role in your home’s energy efficiency, comfort, and security.


Doors are rated using several performance categories:

  • Energy Efficiency (U-Factor & R-Value) – Lower U-factor means better insulation
  • Air Leakage & Weather Resistance – Reduces drafts and moisture
  • Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) – Helps block unwanted summer heat
  • Structural & Impact Ratings – Important for security and severe weather

What is the best type of door for a front entry replacement?

The best front door for most homes in Illinois is either a fiberglass entry door or an insulated steel entry door. Fiberglass doors mimic the appearance of wood but resist warping, rotting, and denting. Steel doors are highly secure and energy-efficient. At Sutton’s, we help you choose the best material for your style, budget, and energy goals.

Most homes use standard door sizes, but older homes or renovations often require custom entry doors. Sutton’s offers both standard and custom-sized doors to ensure a perfect fit—without extra trim work or visible gaps.

The cost of home door replacement varies depending on material, size, insulation level, and decorative options like glass or sidelights. Most residential entry door installations in Central Illinois range from $1,200 to $4,000. Sutton’s provides clear, up-front pricing and free estimates.

Replacing your exterior door improves:

  • Energy efficiency

  • Home security

  • Curb appeal

  • Weather protection

  • Property value

A new door also seals out drafts and pests while modernizing your home’s appearance. At Sutton’s, we offer energy-efficient front doors that are as durable as they are beautiful.

Every entry door installation by Sutton’s includes:

  • In-home consultation and material selection

  • Custom measurement and factory ordering

  • Professional installation and sealing

  • Clean-up and walk-through

A manufacturer’s warranty + Sutton’s workmanship guarantee

Our energy-efficient entry doors are designed with:

  • Insulated foam cores for thermal performance

  • Precision seals to block air leakage

  • Low-emissivity (Low-E) glass in decorative inserts

Durable materials that resist warping or cracking
 These features help reduce energy costs and keep your home comfortable year-round.

Fiberglass front doors offer the warmth and beauty of wood—especially with simulated woodgrain finishes—but with none of the downsides. They won’t warp, rot, or peel, and they’re far more energy-efficient and weather resistant. Fiberglass also requires less maintenance over time and holds up well in Central Illinois weather.

Yes. Our steel and fiberglass replacement doors are engineered for security. They feature reinforced cores, multi-point locking systems (optional), and heavy-duty strike plates to keep your home safe from forced entry. We also offer privacy glass and high-security hardware upon request.

Our fiberglass and steel entry doors are extremely low maintenance. Just wipe them down with a damp cloth or mild soap as needed—no sanding, sealing, or painting required. They’re built to look great for decades with minimal effort.

We install residential replacement doors in all types of homes—new construction, historic homes, ranches, craftsman-style homes, split-levels, and more. Each door is custom-measured and built to suit your architecture, exterior finish, and lifestyle.

Can I get a front door with a woodgrain finish?

Yes! Sutton’s offers fiberglass and steel doors with simulated woodgrain finishes, so you can get the warm look of wood without the maintenance. Choose from oak, cherry, mahogany, and other stainable textures

Exterior doors are rated based on:

  • U-Factor (insulation)

  • Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC)

  • Air leakage and weather resistance

  • Structural and impact performance

Yes. Our steel entry doors and reinforced fiberglass doors offer high-impact resistance and optional multi-point locking systems. A secure door starts with quality materials and a precise installation—both of which Sutton’s provides.

Absolutely. Sutton’s installs residential entry doors throughout Central Illinois, including Springfield, Chatham, Rochester, Sherman, Lincoln, Taylorville, Jacksonville, and nearby towns across Sangamon, Christian, Menard, and Morgan Counties.

No. Sutton’s only installs entry doors that we supply through our trusted manufacturers. This ensures the quality of the product, proper sizing, compatibility with our installation process, and most importantly—warranty coverage. Installing a customer-supplied door would mean assuming liability for materials we didn’t provide or inspect, and we’re not willing to risk your satisfaction or safety.

Most entry door installations can be completed in just a few hours. If sidelights, transoms, or extensive trim work are involved, installation may take longer. We schedule appointments at your convenience and make sure the process is smooth, clean, and efficient.

Our energy-efficient entry doors are designed with:

  • Insulated foam cores for thermal performance

  • Precision seals to block air leakage

  • Low-emissivity (Low-E) glass in decorative inserts

Durable materials that resist warping or cracking
 These features help reduce energy costs and keep your home comfortable year-round.

At Sutton’s, we offer a wide range of entry door styles, including:

  • Modern flush panel designs

  • Traditional 6-panel styles

  • Craftsman and farmhouse styles

  • Doors with decorative, clear, or privacy glass

  • Doors with full, half, or quarter window panels

Woodgrain textures in oak, cherry, mahogany, and more
 All doors can be finished in your choice of paint or stain-matched simulated woodgrain finishes.

We typically recommend full door systems, which include the door slab, frame, and trim components, to ensure a perfect fit and performance. Replacing just the slab can lead to gaps, air leaks, and operational issues—especially in older homes where the original frame may be out of square or deteriorating.

The best front door for most homes in Illinois is either a fiberglass entry door or an insulated steel entry door. Fiberglass doors mimic the appearance of wood but resist warping, rotting, and denting. Steel doors are highly secure and energy-efficient. At Sutton’s, we help you choose the best material for your style, budget, and energy goals.
