Door Trends for 2025

Energy-Efficient Entry Doors

Homeowners are prioritizing energy efficiency more than ever, and entry doors are stepping up to the challenge. Fiberglass and steel doors remain top choices, offering superior insulation and durability compared to traditional wood. In 2025, advancements in core materials, such as high-density polyurethane and next-generation composite frames, provide even greater thermal resistance, reducing heat transfer and lowering energy bills.

Weatherproofing technology has also evolved. Multi-layer seals, magnetic gaskets, and integrated thermal breaks create airtight barriers against drafts and moisture. Smart glass is making its way into entry doors, adjusting tint based on sunlight and temperature, improving insulation without sacrificing natural light.

Energy Star-rated doors continue to set efficiency standards, but manufacturers are now pushing beyond basic compliance. For example, Marvin’s TruStile Reserve Collection offers ultra-insulated panel designs with sustainable materials, blending energy savings with high-end aesthetics. These innovations make homes more comfortable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly year-round.

Air leaks around the front door can account for up to 20 percent of the energy lost in a home. That kind of energy loss can make a big difference. That’s why energy-efficient doors are such a game-changer for your comfort (and your wallet).

Today's front doors use advanced insulation and weatherproofing technologies to help keep your home comfortable throughout the year. Whether the temperature outside is in the high 90's or low 20's, an energy-efficient front door can help your home stay a consistent temperature throughout the day and night. High-performance materials and precision-engineered seals minimize drafts, allowing your heating and cooling systems to work efficiently.

Bold Colors and Unique Finishes for Entry Doors

Entry doors in 2025 are making bold statements with rich, dramatic colors and innovative finishes. Deep blues, forest greens, and striking reds are leading the way, offering homeowners a way to enhance curb appeal beyond traditional neutrals. Advances in paint technology have also introduced ultra-durable, fade-resistant coatings that keep colors vibrant despite harsh weather conditions.

Beyond color, textured and mixed-material finishes are redefining door design. Matte and metallic finishes, wood-grain fiberglass, and even color-changing coatings that shift in different lighting are bringing a fresh, modern edge to entryways. Eco-conscious homeowners are also embracing sustainable, low-VOC paints that deliver high-impact style without harmful emissions.

Brands like Therma-Tru are leading this trend, offering bold, factory-applied finishes that resist chipping and wear. Whether opting for a sleek monochromatic look or a statement-making contrast, today’s entry doors give homeowners creative freedom without sacrificing durability or performance.

Large Glass Panels and Decorative Glass Options

Large glass panels are redefining entryways, bringing in natural light while balancing privacy and efficiency. Homeowners are opting for oversized glass inserts, full-view designs, and sidelights to create bright, welcoming entryways. Advancements in glass technology, including multi-layer insulation and low-E coatings, help regulate indoor temperatures while reducing glare and UV exposure.

Decorative glass options have also evolved. Precision laser-etched designs, intricate stained glass, and frosted or tinted finishes allow for customization that matches any architectural style. Smart glass is another popular innovation, its opacity can switch from clear to frosted at the touch of a button, offering privacy when needed.

Marvin’s Signature Collection doors showcase these trends beautifully, featuring high-performance glass with customizable patterns and privacy levels. Whether enhancing a contemporary home or updating a classic entryway, today’s glass panel options blend function, beauty, and energy efficiency in ways that weren’t widely available before.

Smart Security Features: The Future of Door Technology

Home security is getting smarter, and entry doors are at the center of it all. Traditional locks are giving way to advanced keyless systems, biometric recognition, and ultra-wideband (UWB) technology that unlocks doors automatically when homeowners approach. Built-in video doorbells, motion sensors, and AI-powered threat detection provide real-time monitoring, allowing homeowners to control access from anywhere via smartphone apps.



Beyond security, these innovations offer convenience. Doors equipped with fingerprint scanners or facial recognition eliminate the need for keys, while encrypted access codes allow secure entry for family members, guests, or delivery drivers. Some models even integrate with smart home systems, syncing with lighting and alarms for added protection.

Sustainability and Eco-Friendly Door Materials

Sustainability is shaping the future of entry doors, with homeowners seeking materials that reduce environmental impact without compromising durability or style. Reclaimed wood, bamboo, and recycled metals are gaining popularity, offering eco-friendly alternatives to traditional materials. Manufacturers are also embracing responsibly sourced lumber and low-VOC finishes, reducing harmful emissions while maintaining high-end aesthetics.

Advancements in composite materials are another game-changer. High-performance fiberglass and engineered wood doors provide the look of natural wood but require less maintenance and last longer, reducing waste over time. Energy-efficient cores, such as high-density polyurethane insulation, further improve thermal performance, helping homes use less energy year-round.

Brands like Marvin and Therma-Tru are leading the way, offering sustainably crafted doors designed for longevity and efficiency. With more options than ever, homeowners can choose entryways that blend durability, efficiency, and design while making a responsible choice for the future.

Patio Door Trends: Blending Indoor and Outdoor Living

Patio doors are evolving beyond basic sliders, offering homeowners more ways to connect indoor and outdoor spaces. French doors, for example, are proof that classic design never fades. These timeless patio doors offer elegance with a modern twist, featuring energy-efficient glass and improved weather sealing. Their swing-open design creates a welcoming feel while allowing for wide, unobstructed entry points that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor spaces.

Folding doors, also known as bi-fold or accordion doors, have gained popularity for their ability to completely open up a wall, creating a seamless transition to patios, decks, and gardens. These doors stack neatly to the side, maximizing space and providing a true indoor-outdoor living experience.

Multi-panel sliding doors are redefining indoor-outdoor living, combining ultra-slim frames with expansive glass panels that glide effortlessly along a track. Innovations like motorized operation, integrated security sensors, and voice-activated controls make access seamless, while high-performance thermal glass enhances energy efficiency. Models such as Marvin’s Modern Multi-Slide Door embrace these advancements, offering smooth operation, year-round comfort, and a sleek, modern aesthetic. Whether hosting gatherings or enjoying a quiet moment, today’s patio doors provide a seamless transition between indoor comfort and outdoor living, delivering more flexibility, efficiency, and style than ever before.
