When it comes to front doors, there are many different types to choose from. However, there is one material that is exceptionally popular among homeowners: fiberglass. Fiberglass is a reinforced plastic material that is embedded in a resin matrix. It has been used in insulation, boats, pipes, and a wide variety of other objects—including doors. Fiberglass doors have three major components: the frame, core, and skin. The frame is usually made of wood or a high strength composite material. The core is filled with a polyurethane insulating foam for insulation and soundproofing. The door’s exterior is constructed with high-impact compression-molded fiberglass. When you choose fiberglass front doors, you will enjoy numerous benefits, including:

Durability

Fiberglass doors are incredibly hardwearing and will resist denting, scuffing, cracking, warping, and shrinking over time. They are also strong enough to endure harsh winds, extreme heat and cold, as well as wet and dry climates. An additional upside is that fiberglass doors are not as heavy as steel or solid wood. Their light weight reduces tensile strength on door hinges and increases the likelihood that the door will continue to open and close without sticking or binding.

Low Maintenance

Fiberglass doors look clean and new for longer than many other types of doors, and they require little to no upkeep. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth is usually all that is needed.

Energy Efficiency

Fiberglass entry doors with foam cores are some of the most energy-efficient doors on the market. They will help insulate your home, keeping its interior warmer during the winter and cooler during the summer. This will reduce the strain on your HVAC system to maintain comfortable interior temperatures, which can potentially lead to lower monthly energy costs.

Security

Fiberglass doors have an extra-solid construction and quality hardware that makes them stronger and more secure than many other types of entry doors.

Customizable Beauty

Fiberglass doors can be made to mimic the charming and sophisticated look of real wood. Plus, they are available in a vast array of stains, finishes, styles, and other design options so that you can achieve a look that suits your taste and instantly enhances your home’s curb appeal.
