Vdom Manux 8088 uPVC Front Door vs National Door Company 15-Lite Steel Prehung Door

The Vdom is the more complete exterior door: welded uPVC construction, a wide 48-inch unit with sidelite, double-glazed frosted glass, an aluminum threshold with thermal insert and European roller hinges. The National Door Company is a plain primed steel slab with clear glass and no privacy, so it fits a porch or a budget-conscious replacement better than a main entry. Owners of uPVC units praise low maintenance and no rust or rot; steel doors are strong but can dent and need repainting if the primer is exposed.

• Choose the Vdom if you want a wide, low-maintenance front entry with frosted glass, a sidelite and insulation built in.
• Choose the National Door Company if you need a standard 32-inch steel door that takes paint and fits a conventional rough opening.
