My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, as we are a door and moulding company, we do not know the specifics of the marble used on the facade of this building. We recommend consulting with a masonry professional for the answer to your questions.

    Hi @Browngma,
    With the proper finish, that is regularly maintained, a wood door would be durable. The finish needs to provide a high UV protection and be re-coated in accordance with the finish manufacture. Your other choice would be to use a Plastpro fiberglass door that provides all the beauty of wood but is more durable. Even with a fiberglass door the need to finish properly and maintain the finish is required.
