Fiberglass doors are a good investment for your home. Fiberglass is strong, durable and low-maintenance. Unlike wood doors, fiberglass doors do not warp, chip or rot, nor will they become damaged due to weather conditions, such as moisture and dampness.

And because of the durability of the door, the insulation and construction are rarely compromised.

Yes. Fiberglass doors with glass are very secure and a good option when looking for a replacement entry door. The construction of a fiberglass door is the very thing that makes the door so secure. Fiberglass is made by melding plastic and fibers of glass together to create a strong and durable product. Pair that with a shatterproof glass window and the entry door is nearly impossible to break through.

In a side by side comparison of these two types of doors, fiberglass doors are the clear winner. This is due to the fact that fiberglass will not warp, rust, decay, crack or be affected by weather conditions. Other factors that can go against a fiberglass door is the cost. Fiberglass doors are more expensive than a wood or steel door because of the material that is used to make the door. The sizing of a door can also be a drawback for a fiberglass door, as the doors are not able to be customized and “trimmed-to-fit”.
