Materials
A traditional white interior finish offers versatility when decorating your home.
Vinyl Clad Frame
 Our doors can be purchased with a tough 0.065″ thick, vinyl clad low maintenance frame. It withstands all types of weather without peeling, flaking, pitting or corroding. Available in Pearl White, Silvers and or Autumn Ivory colors. To give it a more traditional look optional brickmold can be purchased. Also available in wood frame.
Weatherstripping
The closed cell weatherstripping used on the Polardor sill resists the absorption of water so that in cold winter months it does not freeze and lose its tight seal. On the remainder of the door frame, a foam compression weatherstrip is used to provide an optimal, secure seal around the perimeter of the door which in winter keeps warm air in and keeps cold air out.
Aluminum Sill
Constructed of durable 1/16″ aluminum and features raised ribs which allow for good traction. Low profile sill available for greater accessibility.
Fiberglass Skin
Durable and easy to finish. Available in both smooth skin for painting and wood-grain texture for staining. Dent and warp resistant.
Polyurethane Foam Core
The insulation value is at least six times greater than a solid wood door. With an R value of 12 it is the perfect solution for your home.
Sweepless Door
By eliminating the need for a door sweep there is no sweep to tear or adjust.
Water Trap Sill Design
The durable 3/32″ fiberglass subsill resists rotting and cracking. The continuous sill running under the jamb prevents jamb rot.
Door Lites
Adding doorlites to your exterior door offers several benefits that can enhance both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your entrance.

Optional sill protector is available to shield door sills during construction. Constructed of 1/16″ vinyl, the protector snaps on tightly to prevent dents and scratches that may occur on the job site.
