- Is a fiberglass door better than steel or wood here?
- Fiberglass resists dents and rust better than steel and does not rot or swell like wood, which matters in humid or coastal climates. It costs more than a basic steel slab but usually outlasts wood.
- Does the full-lite glass hurt energy efficiency?
- Yes, a full glass panel insulates less than a solid door, even with an insulating core. Look for low-E or dual-pane glass if the door faces strong sun or a cold climate.
- What does right-hand outswing mean for my opening?
- The door swings outward and the hinges sit on the right as you look at it from outside. Measure your rough opening and confirm the swing before ordering, since it cannot be flipped.
- What size opening does it fit?
- It is a 36 x 80 inch door in a 6-9/16 inch jamb, sized for a 2x6 wall. Your rough opening needs to be slightly larger than the frame.
- What is not included?
- The door comes unfinished and prehung, so paint or stain and a handle set are separate. Check whether the sill and brickmold are included before you buy.
- What is the crepi glass like?
- Crepi is a textured, obscure glass, so it lets light in while blurring the view. The grilles divide the full-lite panel into smaller panes.
- Where is the Therma-Tru Entry 36-in 80-in x 6-9/16-in Fiberglass Full Lite Right-hand Outswing Unfinished Prehung Front Door Insulating Core with Grilles cheapest?
