The Porch 36x80 Fiberglass Entry Door Slab vs Fiberglass Front Entry Door with Side Lites

Buy The Porch slab if you are replacing an existing 36 x 80 door in a standard frame and want a finished white door with frosted glass for privacy. Buy the Northside fiberglass unit if you are opening a new entry and want sidelites and trim included as one prehung assembly. The Porch wins on finish and privacy glass; the Northside wins on completeness and light. Neither has a meaningful body of owner reviews, so judge them on build specs.

• Choose the Porch 36 x 80 fiberglass slab if you have a sound existing frame and want a prefinished white door with frosted glass that blocks the view in.
• Choose the Northside fiberglass entry door if you want sidelites, frame and brick moulding in one unit and plan to paint it yourself.
