Strength and Durability High quality PVC stiles and rails protect all sides of the door from moisture, are steel-reinforced to avoid bowing, do not rot, and provide a full thermal break against even the worst weather conditions.
Genuine Oak Grain Beauty The superior oak grain provides the warmth and feel of real wood.
Door Skin
Our discrete door skins are made of a high impact, compression molded, fiberglass; in addition to being corrosion free, it also resists warping, splits, bowing and cracking.
Genuine Oak Grain The superior oak grain finish provides the warm texture of real wood and the feel of authentic wood without all the disadvantages connected with natural deterioration.
Polyurethane Core
The polyurethane core injected into each of our doors provides insulation six times better than wood doors. As our focus turns to enviromental friendliness, it should be noted that our formula for the polyurethane core is CFC free.
