- Is a fiberglass door better than wood or steel for a front entry?
- Fiberglass resists dents, rot and moisture and holds paint better than wood, and it does not dent or rust like steel. It costs more than a basic steel door but lasts longer in wet or sunny exposures.
- What does right-hand inswing mean?
- Standing outside facing the door, the hinges are on the right and the door swings inward. Check your existing door's swing before ordering, since reversing it means a new unit.
- Does the half-lite glass come private or clear?
- Cotswold glass is textured, which blurs the view somewhat but is not fully private. For a bathroom-adjacent or street-facing entry, add a blind or privacy film.
- What size opening does this door need?
- The door is 36 by 80 inches in a 4-9/16-inch frame, which suits a standard framed rough opening for a 36-inch door. Measure the opening's width, height and square before ordering.
- Does it come prefinished or does it need painting?
- It arrives factory-painted Arctic White, so no painting is needed before installation. Touch up cut edges and any fastener holes after fitting.
