Door Style Defines

At McGowan Door & Window, LLC, door style is more than just an entryway; it’s a statement of design and personality. Understanding the nuances of each style helps you choose a door that complements your home’s architecture while enhancing curb appeal.

Classic
Classic doors embody timeless elegance. Characterized by symmetrical designs, raised panels, and traditional moldings, they offer a refined look that suits colonial, Georgian, and Victorian homes. The classic style often features rich, warm wood tones or painted finishes in deep, muted colors.

Craftsman
Craftsman doors highlight simplicity and handcrafted beauty. Recognized by their clean lines, rectangular glass panes in the upper section, and solid wood construction, these doors emphasize natural materials and sturdy craftsmanship. Earthy colors and textured finishes are common, enhancing their warm, inviting appearance.

Transitional
Transitional doors combine the charm of classic design with subtle contemporary elements. Featuring rectangular panels, decorative glass inserts, and versatile color options, they adapt well to a wide range of architectural styles. Custom colors and ornamental glass designs allow a personal touch without straying from timeless appeal.

Modern
Modern doors make a statement with minimalism and innovation. Sleek surfaces, expansive glass panels, and bold geometric shapes define this style. Often featuring steel, aluminum, or smooth wood finishes, modern doors are available in custom colors ranging from matte black to bright hues, with glass designs that include frosted, tinted, or clear options for a sharp, contemporary look.

Custom Colors & Glass Design
Choosing the right color and glass design transforms any door style into a unique expression of your home’s character. Custom paint and stain finishes allow precise color matching to enhance exterior aesthetics. Glass design options, from textured and stained glass to energy-efficient low-E coatings, combine beauty with functionality—offering privacy, natural light, and energy savings tailored to your needs.
