Fiberglass Door Features
Full-length composite top & bottom rails
Additional non-porous protection keeps water from seeping into the door and helps prevent the build up of mold or mildew.
Fiberglass reinforced door skins
Fiberglass is unmarred by the wear and tear of everyday use and is unaffected by moisture and humidity. Our doors will not rot, splinter or warp like wood, and won't dent or delaminate like steel.
Full-length composite stiles
Our fiberglass entry doors feature full length composite stiles to prevent water infiltration into the door and ensures the door will never warp, rot, or rust.

Glass Appearance Options
Clear glass is available with any grid configuration of your choice. It's important to consider if you want the grids between the glass (for easy cleaning), outside theglass, or no grids for the best view of outside.
Obscure glass is a textured glass that allows light into the room but also provides privacy. There are many styles of obscure glass.
Leaded patterned glass is made up of different obscure/textured glass, beveled clear glass and caming (the metal between the patterns). The caming is available in all different colors with the most popular three being: Brass, Patina (a bronze/black type color), or Bright zinc (silver). Each leaded glass pattern will provide a different level of privacy based on how large the sections of clear glass are. Most leaded glass manufactures will provide a privacy level for each glass pattern.
Door Frame
Doors are sometimes attached to sidelites or transoms. Sidelites and transoms are available in the same options as above. It’s important to know that there are no rules against using different combinations of glass types for door, sidelite, and transom configurations. People often use a leaded door with clear glass sidelites and transom or a solid panel door with leaded sidelites and transom for more privacy. Staining and painting are also exempt from rules; you’ll often see a stained door within painted sidelites and transom or all stained or all painted. Regardless of your color selection, it’s important to use high quality paint or stain.
Next time you drive through your neighborhood, look at all the different door, sidelight, and transom styles as well as how their painted or stained. It will give you a great idea as to the look you want for your home. You’ll be surprised to find almost every style available in fiberglass.
