The Porch 36x80 Fiberglass Entry Door Slab vs Therma-Tru Grid Entry 68-in 80-in x 6-9/16-in Fiberglass 3/4 Lite Right-hand Inswing Black Painted Prehung Front Door with Sidelights
Buy the Therma-Tru if you want a complete, weather-tight front entry with sidelights and a prehung frame. Buy The Porch slab if you are replacing only the door leaf in an existing frame and want frosted glass for privacy. The Therma-Tru is the sturdier, more finished product: insulating core, aluminum impact frame, weatherstripping and brickmould included, and a brand with a long reputation for fiberglass entries. The Porch is a bare slab that ships flat, so it depends on your existing frame and hardware, and its frosted glass blocks more of the view than the Therma-Tru's decorative glass.
- Choose The Porch if you are swapping just the door leaf into a sound existing frame, want frosted glass for privacy, and prefer a white finish.
- Choose the Therma-Tru if you are replacing the whole entry, want sidelights and a prehung frame, and value an insulating core and included weatherstripping.
