Find the Therma-Tru door that belongs on your home.
Your front door should feel intentional from the street and reliable every day. We help Metro Detroit homeowners choose entry doors that fit the architecture, the light and privacy you want, and the performance you need through Michigan weather.
Start with the home, then choose the door
A great entry door is part of the whole exterior: roofline, windows, porch, brick or siding, trim, and the way people approach the home. Bring a photo of your house and we will narrow the choices with a few practical questions.
What should it do visually?
Blend in, freshen the exterior, or become the focal point of the whole front.
How much glass feels right?
From no glass for privacy to full-lite, sidelites, and transoms for daylight.
Which surface fits?
Rich wood-grain fiberglass, smooth paintable finishes, or a dark modern look.
What matters most?
Michigan weather performance, energy efficiency, security, or all of the above.
Therma-Tru options organized by home style
Eight style families cover most Metro Detroit streets. Find yours, then let us match the collection, glass, and finish.
Modern
Cleaner lines, simple shapes, larger glass, minimal ornament. Smooth surfaces, narrow or asymmetrical glass, and privacy textures like satin or reeded.
- Minimal panel detail
- Long vertical or asymmetrical glass
- Satin, reeded, or textured privacy glass
- Dark, neutral, or architectural colors
Ask us: should the door disappear into the architecture or become the strongest modern accent on the home?
Traditional
Balanced proportions and familiar detailing. Classic panels, divided lites, decorative glass, or a warm wood-grain finish update the entry without feeling out of place.
- Symmetrical panel layouts
- Clear or decorative glass
- Divided lites that match your windows
- Sidelites for a formal entry
Ask us: are we preserving the traditional feel, or adding a cleaner update?
Craftsman
Bungalows and four-squares look best with doors that feel handcrafted and grounded: warm wood tones, strong rails, top-lite glass, and colors that pair with brick and wide porches.
- Fir, oak, or mahogany-inspired grain
- Top-lite glass layouts
- Dentil shelf and handcrafted details
- Earthy stain or paint colors
Ask us: historic Craftsman, updated Craftsman, or modern farmhouse?
Colonial
Symmetry rules: balanced panels, classic glass, and a centered, formal configuration that respects shutters, columns, and multi-pane windows.
- Six-panel and classic arrangements
- Divided lite or decorative glass
- Sidelites and transoms for formality
- Traditional colors or rich wood tones
Ask us: match the home's historic symmetry, or add a subtle fresh contrast?
European
Tudor, French Country, and Tuscan homes carry more texture and romance. The door can hold more weight: rich grain, arched glass, bronze hardware.
- Mahogany, oak, or rich wood-grain looks
- Arched or radius-inspired glass
- Warm, refined decorative glass
- Dark stain and substantial trim
Ask us: more cottage-Tudor, formal French Country, or Mediterranean?
Coastal
Lake homes and cottage exteriors want light and openness, even in Metro Detroit. More glass, lighter finishes, relaxed paneling.
- More glass for daylight
- Clear or privacy glass by exposure
- Smooth painted or light wood looks
- Sidelites and patio-style configurations
Ask us: a brighter entry with more glass, or coastal charm that keeps privacy?
Southwest
Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial, and Mission-inspired homes support deeper finishes, wider presence, and decorative glass or hardware.
- Mahogany-inspired grain
- Taller or wider-feeling designs
- Arched glass and decorative lites
- Warm stains, dark hardware, clavos accents
Ask us: rustic, refined, or bold and statement-making?
Victorian
Historic homes can carry more detail than most: ornate glass, rich color, period hardware that supports existing trim and porches.
- Decorative glass with classic character
- Rich stained or painted finishes
- Detailed panel profiles
- Period-inspired hardware
Ask us: restoring a period feel, or a durable modern door that respects the character?

Choosing by style, answered
How do I know which home style I have?
Bring a photo of the front of your home to our St. Clair Shores showroom or share it during a consultation. We will identify the closest style family, from Modern and Craftsman to Colonial, European, Coastal, and Victorian, and narrow the Therma-Tru options that fit.
Which Therma-Tru collection should I start with?
Classic-Craft is the premium wood-look line for focal-point entries. Fiber-Classic balances wood-grain warmth with everyday value. Smooth-Star is the painted-finish pick and the budget-friendly comparison to steel. Pulse is the contemporary line with modern glass placement.
How much glass should an entry door have?
It depends on light and privacy. Clear glass brightens set-back entries. Textured or decorative glass keeps daylight while softening the view from the street. Low-E options keep the entry energy-conscious through Michigan winters.
Can Taylor Door show me the door on my own house?
Yes. That is our specialty. We place Therma-Tru styles onto a photo of your home in the showroom, or bring the same design help to a free in-home consultation, so you can compare styles, glass, finishes, and configurations before you decide.
