You can be confident that Therma-Tru® doors will stand up to the rigors of
everyday life due to their high-quality construction and system warranties.
Peace ofMind
*Comparison of fiberglass to wood doors (both without glass).**Tested to ASTM F-476 Section 18 Grade 40 by independent lab, October 2005
As security remains a leading concern for homeowners, Therma-Tru® offers several options to instill confidence among your customers, including an advanced locking system, wrap-around strike plate and reinforced steel core. In fact, our Smooth-Star® doors received the highest level possible in the industry’s toughest forced entry test.**
Security
Therma-Tru® door systems are designed and engineered to work as a complete unit for optimal performance and strength. A full system forms a tight seal that can withstand a wide range of temperatures and resist weather elements.
Performance
Filled with a polyurethane foam core, Therma-Tru® fiberglass doors provide as much as four times the insulation value of most wood doors.* And most of our entry door systems are ENERGY STAR® qualified and NFRC Certified, which can help lower your customers’ energy bills.
Energy Efficiency
Fiberglass doors simply outperform wood and steel doors. Durable fiberglass construction requires little maintenance and will not dent, ding or rust like steel, nor will it split, crack or rot like wood.
Durability
Therma-Tru® Tru-Defense® door systems help offer the best protection against nature’s worst conditions, including strong winds, torrential rain and flying debris. And now, Therma-Tru® offers homeowners added protection against water leaks. For more information, visit www.thermatru.com/trudefense.
Weather Resistance
5*Comparison of fiberglass to wood doors (both without glass).**Tested to ASTM F-476 Section 18 Grade 40 by independent lab, October 2005
(1) Testing conducted by outside independent organization, Oct. 26, 2005, in accordance with ASTM F-476 Section 18. ATI report #3085903. Grade 40 defined as 148 ft./lbs.
(2) All R-Values are for opaque doors; wood door values can vary greatly due to species and thickness.
Fiberglass:The Steel Beater
Most homeowners want an entry door that delivers two things:
design and performance. That’s why more and more people are
turning to fiberglass instead of steel.
Steel doors dent, ding, scratch, rust, corrode and often need to be
repaired or replaced. Fiberglass products clearly outperform even
high-quality steel doors, especially in the long term.
Therma-Tru® engineers put our entry and patio doors through a
battery of tests to ensure that every door can withstand weather
and other factors.
One test, the Missile Impact Test, includes shooting 8-foot long
2" x 4" stud wood "missiles," at 35mph into our doors. The strong
performance of Therma-Tru® fiberglass doors in this test means
drastically reduced callbacks during construction and remodeling
projects – a huge benefit in time and cost savings.
Steel entryways are often perceived as being the most secure.
However, Therma-Tru® Smooth Star® fiberglass doors earned the
highest possible rating for resistance to forced entry — ASTM F-476
Section 18 Grade 40(1) — as measured by a premier independent
testing agency.
Return on investment is another plus. Therma-Tru® fiberglass doors
are 100 percent polyurethane insulated and deliver more energy
savings than most wood doors and many brands of steel doors.
They require far less maintenance, too.
The testing shows the truth: When it comes to entry doors,
Therma-Tru® fiberglass doors are the steel beater.
