 The Fiberglass Smooth-Star door line, the industry''s first door created from fiberglass to capture the smooth look of painted wood, has been awarded a U.S. Patent. Doors are strategically engineered for exceptional durability and appealing aesthetics. SmoothStar doors can be painted to a high gloss with no distortions of the surface. Doors are available with embossed panels or three-dimensional raised panels and also in new 8-foot heights. Doors in Therma-Tru''s Classic-Craft line for interior use have a more wooden appearance owing to an innovation in the six-year-old product line. According to the company has developed raised paneling for its doors that provide higher fidelity and sharper detail. The panels are layered over a polyurethane core that, according to Therma-Tru, insulates five times better than wood. Because f the product''s durability, which includes resistance to weather-related cracking, Therma-Tru is offering the doors with a lifetime warranty that far exceeds the typical five-year warranty alternativematerials that wooden doors have.

Why are more and more home builders switching from steel doors to Therma-Tru? A dramatic reduction in job-site callbacks to repair or replace dented or dinged doors sits squarely atop the list of reasons. Other alternativematerials alternatives are made of a polyurethane foam insulation core - offering six times the energy efficiency of wood - faced on both sides with vinyl or aluminum. These typically cost for a 6-foot-wide door. All well-made nonwood doors are designed with thermal breaks (separations between indoor and outdoor surfaces that block the conduction of heat or cold.) Glazing options Of course, the largest part of a glass sliding door is glass. To make a door truly energy efficient, high-performance glazing is key. Fortunately, this is standard with most high-quality sliders. You''ll find double-paned glass with low-E (low energy) coating and, in alternativematerials some cases, argon gas filling. Low-E reduces heat transfer and protects against ultraviolet damage; argon gas filling provides greater insulation. Some manufacturers let you specify the glazing alternativematerials you want when you order. Where sun-caused fading or damage can e a serious problem, you may want to opt for glass with a solar bronze or solar gray tint to reject ultraviolet rays. In addition, some companies offer decorative stained or beveled glass with true brass caming (leading). For bathrooms or other places where privacy is a concern, obscure glass is available.
