ABOUT BACK DOORS
Back Doors are classified in manufacturers catalogs as exterior doors. They are usually made of wood, but may also be made of fiberglass or steel. Security is an important consideration in choosing a back door, and steel is a particularly secure solution. Back doors may have clear or leaded glass insert panels, which are usually double or triple glazed to reduce heat loss.
The leading back door manufacturers, described below the panel of sponsored links, have comprehensive websites, with information on all aspects of back doors, including online catalogs, specifications, colours and materials for back doors, and care and maintenance of back doors.
