Clopay is expanding its residential entry door line with a new Smooth Fiberglass collection featuring designs, including Shaker, Craftsman, Modern and Rustic styles. The doors feature deep recessed panels with contemporary edge profiles; a brushed etched surface for better paint adhesion; and an internal construction that resists thermal bowing.
Clopay's fiberglass entry doors are designed for builders and homeowners who want to coordinate the style, windows and finish of their garages and front doors.
Features of this product line
The variety of designs and window styles along with minimal detailing aims to bridge the gap between modern and traditional, making these doors an appealing choice for a variety of home styles: classic farmhouse, historic bungalow, coastal cottage, Dutch colonial, contemporary, transitional, mid-century and more, say officials.
- Vertical stiles made of laminated stranded lumber run the entire length of the door on both the hinge and lock sides for strength and rigidity against thermal bow. The visible edge of the door stile is made of hardwood, giving the appearance of a luxury door encased in a durable, sustainable package.
- Both the interior and exterior door surfaces have a fiberglass-reinforced skin with brush stroke etching for paint adhesion.
- The new Smooth Fiberglass styles designs include a solid flush door along with two- and three-panel Shaker, Rustic, Modern and Craftsman designs. Decorative half-view, three-quarter view and Craftsman size windows in either clear or frosted glass can be added. For mid-century architecture, Clopay is introducing narrow 3.5-inch by 22-inch three-lite and five-lite horizontal and vertical windows.
- The entire entry door system can be factory-finished in a choice of 18 paint colors for a complete, ready-to-install unit.
- Clopay fiberglass entry doors are Energy Star rated, NFRC-certified, and carry a limited lifetime warranty.
What the company says
“Smooth fiberglass doors are a better-performing alternative to traditional painted steel door options, which can rust, dent and heat up in the sun or even natural wood, which can warp and rot,” says Sue Engle Clopay, entry door product manager. “This line has the look and feel of wood, but with a smooth, grain-free surface and the lasting durability, energy efficiency and moisture-resistant benefits of fiberglass.”
