Yearly Maintenance 

As with any component in your home, extending its lifespan has a lot to do with how well, and how regularly you maintain it. Front doors deal with a lot, they are extensively used and constantly battered by the weather, which means that maintenance on them should never be overlooked, and should in fact happen at least once a year. This will protect its frame, the materials used to make them, their hinges, locks and other parts of the door, all of which will deteriorate without annual attention.

Borate Treatments

Borate treatments are designed to protect wood from the ravages of the sun and bad weather, and is particularly important for doors that operate in a damp environment. Wood rot will quickly undermine both the structure and style of your door, and once it sets in the damage can be extensive. By applying borate treatments as part of your yearly maintenance processes, you can continuously ensure that your door is adequately protected against these forces.

The Right Material For The Right Climate

Selecting the right door from the get-go will go a long way towards ensuring that it enjoys an extended lifespan, and in this regard, the material that you use will have a major impact on its integrity. Steel doors, for instance, may look great, but will rust in damp or coastal conditions. In such cases, fibreglass is often the better choice.
