Five reasons we recommend fiberglass entry doors over wood:

Appearance

Fiberglass doors are virtually indistinguishable from wood, offering a wide variety of woodgrain finishes, colors, glasswork and hardware options. Additionally, manufacturers can achieve a level of consistency with fiberglass that is impossible with wood.

Performance

Wood doors can shrink, swell, warp and crack as a result of seasonal changes in the climate. Fiberglass, on the other hand, provides years of stable, enduring performance in any climate. In fact, fiberglass doors have such longevity, the best are backed by limited lifetime guarantees.

Maintenance

Fiberglass doors require minimal maintenance, whereas wood may require frequent refinishing depending on the effects of sun, moisture and temperature fluctuations.

Energy Efficiency

Today’s top fiberglass door manufacturers incorporate high-density foam cores, weatherstripping and dual or triple glazing to keep the elements outside, reducing your energy costs and maintaining your indoor comfort. Wood doors expand and contract as seasons change, allowing outside air penetration and reducing energy efficiency.

Cost

Delivering year after year of rock-solid durability with minimal maintenance, fiberglass doors represent far greater long-term value versus wood.
