Should I Get Wood or Fiberglass Door?

A common question... here are some facts/benefits of fiberglass doors to help you decide:




1.) No unsightly screw plugs around glass on either side: Our exclusive SmartFrame™ Snap-On Frame creates a completely unblemished surface.

2.) Stainable and paintable wood grain skin, or paintable smooth skin: Distinction Doors fiberglass skin is paint and stain ready.

3.) Triple pane decorative glass: Triple pane decorative glass provides excellent thermal insulation.

4.) Fiberglass skin won't dent, ding or rust: Unlike steel doors, Fiberglass is unaffected by moisture and humidity.

5.) Extended lock block resists forced entry: Our 20" extended lock block adds security and peace of mind to your entry.

6.) Beautifully detailed architectural panels: Distinction Doors are designed with deeper shadow lines and better curb appeal.

7.) Waterproof composite stiles: Distinction Doors use a nonporous composite edge instead of a regular wood edge so it will never rot or warp.

8.) Insulated core: Our environmentally-friendly insulation provides maximum thermal protection.

9.) Waterproof composite top and bottom rails: Extra non-porous protection keeps water from seeping into the door.



Hydroshield Technology

Exclusive water-resistant seal protects these doors against water infiltration on all sides to prevent water damage such as warping, delamination, corrosion, rotting, and the buildup of mold and mildew.

This Hydroshield seal consists of:

Fiberglass Reinforced Door Skins: Our high-impact compression molded skins will not splinter, dent, warp, rot or rust. Surfaces are easy to stain or paint, and easy to clean. Our deep-profile fiberglass skins create stronger dimensions and crisper shadow lines. Architecturally correct stile and rail proportions enhance the door's traditional oak appearance.

Full-length Composite Stiles: Our full-length composite stiles provide complete waterproofing for the door's insulation. Composite stiles have two times the screw-holding capabilities of traditional wood-edged doors and will never splinter like wood or delaminate like steel.

Composite Top & Bottom Rails: High-strength engineered composite top and bottom rails prevent moisture from seeping into the door. Bottom rails will also accommodate a range of door sweeps.
