• Steel: Durable, low-maintenance, and can be insulated. It’s a good choice for security and energy efficiency.
  • Wood: Offers a classic, customizable look but requires much more maintenance. It can be stained or painted to match your home’s exterior.
  • Aluminum: Lightweight and resistant to rust. Often used for modern designs and can be a good choice for coastal areas where rust and corrosion is a concern. 
  • Fiberglass: Resistant to dents and is generally low-maintenance. It can mimic the look of wood but is lighter and less prone to warping.
