- Is fiberglass better than wood or steel for an entry door?
- Fiberglass resists dents, rot and moisture better than wood and will not rust or dent like steel. It generally holds a finish longer than either, at a higher upfront cost than steel.
- What does left-hand inswing mean?
- The hinges are on the left as you look at the door from outside, and the door swings into the house. Measure your existing opening before ordering to confirm the hand.
- Does the glass lite hurt energy efficiency?
- A glazed door insulates less than a solid slab. Look for low-E or insulated glass in the door's build sheet if the entry faces harsh sun or cold.
- Can I paint or stain this door a different color?
- Yes. Fiberglass doors accept exterior paint or gel stain, though the factory dark elm finish is already sealed. Follow Therma-Tru's prep instructions for a lasting result.
- What size opening does it fit?
- The door leaf is 36 by 80 inches with a 4-9/16 inch frame depth, a standard wall thickness. The rough opening needs to be slightly larger to shim and square the frame.
