RBS NOW SELLING THERMA-TRU DOORS.
If youre looking for the best of all worlds in an entry door, youre likely to find it in fiberglass.
With their polyurethane foam cores, fiberglass doors provide insulation values at least five times greater than those available with wood. Moreover, fiberglass wont split, swell, shrink, crack or warp like wood even though it can be stained to look just like wood, and it wont rust or dent like steel.
Fiberglass is the latest in a series of materials that have figured prominently in the door industry. In fact, Builder magazine in its June 1998 issue listed fiberglass doors as one of the top 20 innovative new products of the past two decades.
For centuries, wood doors were the only doors available for home construction.
The search for more energy-efficient, durable and secure doors eventually led to the development of insulated steel doors in 1960.
But a growing segment of the door market began clamoring for an entry door that would combine the beauty of stained wood and the energy efficiency of steel with a
material that was more durable than either wood or steel.
Therma-Tru Corporation of Maumee, Ohio, responded to that need with the introduction of the industrys first fiberglass doors in 1985, the Fiber-Classic®. This door could be stained to mimic the look of wood, but without the splitting, cracking or warping associated with wood doors. The company recently introduced its competitively priced Smooth-Star line, which captures the look of painted wood.
Fiberglass doors represent the fastest growing segment of the residential entry door market. Industry experts at Therma-Tru believe that fiberglass door sales will continue to climb at an accelerated rate.
