Excellent question, here are a few reasons:
- Design application – wood doors provide more options for completing your home design and look.
- Color options - while this is of course closely related to design, it is important to note you have many more options for color matching with a wood door. Also, if you change the exterior look and color of your home you can change your custom wood door to match much more easily than with metal.
- Wood is stronger - Wood doors are stronger than metal and resist dents and dings much better
- Wood adds value - Wood doors add much more value to your home
