Smooth-Star: Despite the popularity 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 jeld wen front doors responded in with 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 wen 20-year limited warranty is twice that of most steel products. clearly the best value it took steel the better part of three decades to overtake wood as the material of choice for residential entry doors. 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 andersen front doors by today''s doors that are produced from fiberglass.

beautifully detailed supplies, classic-craft and fiber-classic doors look and feel just like wood. their durable fiberglass surface features a rich red oak grain, but unlike wood doors, they won''t split, dent, or warp. plus, they''re backed by a lifetime-limited warranty. and, there''s smooth-star -- the new fiber glass steel-beater door. when comparing fiber glass smooth-star doors to steel, the differences are dramatic -- better looks, better feel, better performance and twice the warranty of steel doors.for 35 years, therma-tru doors and systems have been synonymous with quality and innovation. innovative manufacturing techniques and a sixth sense of market trends make therma-tru the nation''s leading manufacturer of fiberglass and steel doors. fiberglass is the future, and smart, forward-thinking doors builders agree that therma-tru has the doors they need now and for the future.

doors are priced less for fiberglass than wood and only somewhat more than steel. but by climinating callbacks, fiberglass also provides the jeld builder substantial savings in time and money. over the long run, fiberglass is clearly the best value wen for the builder and his custom. as with steel doors a generation ago, therma-tru systems continues to drive the shift to doors. nearly half of the respondents to. more than one in four (27%) voted therma-tru the no. i brand in the exterior and entry door category. both ratings are well ahead of those for the nearest competition. making doors that last made us first. we''re proud of the fact that therma-tru has helped create the fiberglass exterior front doors and doors frenzy, and we remain focused on continuing our long-standing tradition of providing the high-quality, innovative jeld products our customers wen need. we intend to remain the brand leader in the residential door industry. fewer callbacks drive builders'' choice of therma-tru. why are more and more home builders switching from steel doors to therma-tru? a dramatic reduction in job-site callbacks front and doors to repair or replace dented or dinged doors sits squarely atop the list of reasons.
