It's natural, unfinished pine interior surface, outside is an aluminum clad finish.
We have an oddball custom stain.
In the kitchen we hired guys who did it wrong, so we'll do the staining and sealing. ( see previous AR comment)
I did see it and though I had answered but I must not have hit send or something.
Labor was about $800 which was a pretty reasonable deal.The actual door was $7300 with all of the hardware.
It was either from the Anderson architectural series or 400 series, both of which are custom products designed for new construction.. ( not the replacement product line crap)
Anderson generally does a crappy job of marketing support for the doors so a lot of places aren't enthusiastic to sell them.
I really like it. there are locking tabs that engage at the top, middle, and bottom that snug the door tight when closed.
It's nice to be able to stand a foot front the door and not feel breezes or even cold when it' single digits like it is now.
The hinges and hardware are really well done. Internally, it's well insulated and it's remarkably quiet.
It seems like a everyone has gone over to fiberglass which I just don't like. It's half to a third of the price but the fabrication just has too many artifacts, mold seam lines et cetera.
We are queuing up to sell and downsize in a few years. The front entry is the first thing you encounter when you enter a home.
It's an upper end McMansion on 4.5 acres, Why screw up the sale for shorting a few grand?

and towards finishing up the project.
My wife was never a fan of the old tile and a bunch were cracked.
came up without much effort.....
snap your fingers and voila!!!
we're both delighted but our contractor was for a while planning it out.
As usual it came out perfect and balanced side to side etc.
of course it makes the hardwood hallway which gets a lot of traffic look like crap....
stay tuned for that upcoming adventure....
now we just have to paint the closet and put the doors back on.
Back to the door.
Deciding to put a small front entrance overhang roof over the steps which get too icy for my liking.. Classic two pillar colonial style.
stay tuned for that upcoming adventure.... but most likely in warmer weather.
I wonder about the small overhang. If it's too small the snow will still blow onto the steps and then be shaded. Might make the situation worse instead of better.
