The doors are constructed from a wood master, from which the grain is taken, and detailed onto the fiberglass surface with adhesives. These doors have fooled wooden door people. Steel and fiberglass manufacturer goes a step farther with grain patterns for staining For a couple of years, Therma-Tru, a leading manufacturer of systems non-wood residential entry door, had been looking for a product that would appeal to homeowners who favor the look of wood doors. Therma-Tru offered several steel and fiberglass models with grain patterns that could be stained by a contractor glassdoor or D1Yer. But at the point of sale, potential buyers were staring at an unfinished steel/fiberglass surface. Last spring the company came to market with a model that it believes glassdoor will challenge the traditional wood entry door. Therma-Tru introduced the pre-finished Classic Craft six-panel entry door, marking the first time in its 30-plus year history that the company offered a pre-stained fiberglass model.

Therma-Tru responded in with glassdoor Smooth-Star, a door that incorporated the smooth fiberglass look of painted steel while eliminating dents, dings and rust. We call Smooth-Star the Steel Beater, not only because it''s competitively priced with steel doors, but also because it looks better, feels better and performs better. Plus, its 20-year limited warranty is twice that of most steel products.

Interior Therma-Tru door expects door to eclipse steel much faster. We have seen fiberglass products readily accepted by home builders across the nation, says Oleshansky. Wood and steel doors simply cannot compete with the beauty, energy efficiency, durability, low maintenance and variety offered by today''s doors that are produced from fiberglass.
