Now the nation''s leading producer of steel hand crafted doorlite glass patterns doors, therma-tru helped build the market for that product category. the effectiveness of that pioneering effort is reflected in the market share steel currently holds. for the past two decades company has focused its commitment to quality fiberglass and innovation crafted on doors, the fastest-growing doorlite segment within the exterior door category. we were interested in differentiating ourselves from the rest of the market -- that''s the only way to be profitable glass in the long term recalling hiscompany''s motivation for pursuing fiberglass. therma-tru recruited a ream of engineers and assigned them the mission of developing a new patterns product that would put perform both wood hand spun glass and steel. the crafted team blended fiberglass and resins to invent a sheet-molding doorlite compound, as well as the tooling to transform those glass supplies into a door skin. after extensive laboratory and field patterns testing, the fiberglass hand spun glass industry''s first door hit the market: the fiber-classic.

smooth-star: despite the popularity crafted of steel doors, builders have never been happy with the problems inherent in this material - most notably, rusting and denting, along with necessitate. therma-tru responded doorlite in with smooth-star, a door that incorporated glass 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 patterns steel products. clearly the best value it took steel the better part of hand three decades to overtake wood as the material of choice for residential crafted and doorlite entry doors. interior therma-tru door expects door to eclipse steel much glass faster. we have seen fiberglass patterns 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.
