Fiberglass Front Entry Door with Side Lites vs WeatherCraft Torrefied Mahogany Arch Double Door

These are different doors for different jobs. The Northside fiberglass unit is a single 36-inch door with two 10-inch side lites, sold primed and ready to paint, with insulated triple-pane decorative glass. The WeatherCraft is a pre-hung double door in torrefied mahogany with an arched top, six lites and Flemish privacy glass. Pick the fiberglass door for a standard single opening, a paint-ready finish and lower upkeep. Pick the WeatherCraft for a wide double entry, a wood look and privacy glass. Fiberglass holds paint and resists dents and moisture better than mahogany, which needs regular finishing. Owners of fiberglass entries report it stays flat and stable; wood double doors draw praise for looks but demand maintenance.

• Choose the Northside fiberglass door if you have a standard single entry opening, want side lites for light, and prefer a primed surface you can paint to match your house.
• Choose the WeatherCraft mahogany double door if you have a wide opening and want an arched, wood-grained entry with textured privacy glass.
