Features & Benefits Of Modern Fiberglass Doors

A fiberglass door is made of a rigid insulation core lined with fibre-reinforced polymer. The sealing of this durable material gives the door sufficient strength without losing the necessary flexibility and aesthetics. Fiberglass can be moulded into almost any shape, making it an excellent material for front doors.

Fiberglass doors are durable and reliable, capable of withstanding enormous loads without getting cracked, broken, shrunk, dented, or rotted. But you get more than that.

Here are the key benefits of modern fiberglass doors:

• Aesthetically pleasing look

There are also plenty of finishes that you can customize for fiberglass doors to get the perfect look. Smooth and elegant, or textured to capture the aesthetics of natural wood – you’re sure to find your ideal fit. Our modern fiberglass doors are great for standing out among Calgary homes.

If you are not satisfied with the traditional look of solid fibreglass doors, you are welcome to equip it with various glass options to enhance aesthetics and boost your curb appeal. The most popular glass styles are Winchester, Cachet, Arima, Kallima and Belmont. Each comes with a different design and privacy level to better fit your exterior.

• Energy Efficiency

Improving energy efficiency is always crucial for homeowners. Home’s energy efficiency means your air conditioner and heat system work less to maintain the comfortable temperature inside.

Our fiberglass doors fit snugly to the frame and have excellent seals to prevent air leakage. Their rigid insulation core does not conduct heat.

Moreover, all our fibreglass doors meet NAFS standards, which is quite rare for manufacturers to have. This means that all parts, including our door slabs and door glasses, are of exceptional quality standards and have proven to be the best products in the industry.

All Ecoline doors meet and exceed the standards established to be recognized and approved as energy-efficient front doors by ENERGY STAR:

• Minimum Energy Rating of 34 and higher, depending on the customization of your new door;
• Maximum U-factor W/m2∙K of 1.22 or less;

So if you’re looking for a way to keep your home safe from Calgary’s summer heat and winter chills, as well as reduce your monthly energy bill, new fibreglass doors are your best bet.

• Low maintenance

The great news about fiberglass doors is that they last a very long time without needing major maintenance and repairs. Being durable and strong, this material is not subject to deformations, rotting, scratches, or dents. All our fiberglass entry doors come with exclusive Weathertech feature, full-length composite stiles, and composite top & bottom rails to prevent water infiltration on all sides.

The modern water-based paint ensures that the appearance of your door will keep its original look for many years to come. With Ecoline’s fibreglass doors, issues like discolouration don’t exist, which is a common issue when buying stock doors from unreliable companies. We also ensure a great warranty:

• Factory applied light colour paint – 15 years;

Fiberglass can be superior to other materials in many ways. Check our comparison of fiberglass doors to other common materials.

Compared to Wood

In Calgary, where our weather is highly unpredictable, fiberglass doors are a better choice than wood slabs. Under the influence of moisture and water, wood swells and rots over time. Fiberglass will never rot or wear out due to moisture or exposure to precipitation.

In terms of maintenance, fiberglass is much more unpretentious than natural wood. Since fiberglass doors contain an insulating core, they are much more energy efficient than wood units.

The best thing about fiberglass doors is that they can mimic the look of real wood. So if you want a traditional door but don’t want to sacrifice the high functionality of artificial material, choose a fibreglass door with a grain-like coating. What’s more, fiberglass doors are generally more affordable than natural wood products.

Compared to Steel

Steel and fiberglass are two giants of the door replacement industry, each providing multiple benefits.

Steel is more affordable, reasonably energy efficient, and durable (if you go with high-quality steel, of course), but it’s still not as durable as a stable unit. The steel can scratch or rust, requiring you to renew the finish, but you will not have such issues with fiberglass. That’s why fiberglass front doors are taking over.

Fiberglass Entry Door Styles Available In Calgary

Your door is the first thing visitors see in your home, so it should make an impression. Ideally, your front door reflects the character of your home. At Ecoline, we specialize in helping you design the perfect match for your exterior. Traditional. Contemporary. Painted in an unusual colour. Having glass inserts. Your fiberglass entry door will be exactly the way you want it to be.

Two Basic Fiberglass Door Designs

Common Fibreglass Doors Types

Fiberglass stands out for its flexibility and the ability to be formed into any shape. Therefore, fiberglass doors come in various sizes and configurations.

• Single Fibreglass Doors

A single fiberglass front door is the most common configuration found in many Calgary homes. The standard size, suitable for most rough openings, makes them reasonably affordable. Available in a wide range of finishes and designs, a single door is easy to personalize to perfectly complement the exterior.

• Double Fibreglass Doors

Double fibreglass doors – is an excellent choice for those who want to make a design statement with their exterior doors. Such units are suitable for large rough openings, creating a wider doorway and sure to grab attention. Just like single configurations, double entry doors come in a wide range of styles and finishes.

• Fibreglass Doors with Sidelites

Sidelites are a great choice if you want to make your entrance look wider and more eye-catching but don’t want to make a significant change to your rough opening to install a double door. Sidelites are vertical glass panels that line the sides of your entry door. They ultimately add light and appeal to your home.

• Fibreglass Doors with Transom

Another way to enhance the look and provide light is to add a transom. A transom is a small fixed window located above the frame. In this way, the space inside the house will be brighter thanks to the additional daylight entering through the transom, and your privacy will not be compromised.

Fibreglass Entry Doors with Glass

Glass inserts look amazing in fiberglass doors. Entry doors with glass are a great opportunity to invite light into your home. As a result, the space inside seems brighter, larger, and more spacious.

We use insulated tempered glass with an optional upgrade to Low E. Therefore, entry doors with glass inserts will not compromise your safety and the energy efficiency of your home.

The design possibilities are endless with the wide range of glass options we can add to your door. Combine and match different components – design, caming, and glass textures to make your front door look as attractive as possible. Because no piece of glass is alike, each door is unique, giving a one-of-a-kind look.

Custom Options & Features

At Ecoline, we are experts in bringing life to your home with a stylish entrance door that fits perfectly. We have a wide variety of custom designs and options to match any exterior design.

We offer you to design your new fiberglass door in literally any finish option you like, and our experts can advise you on the most suitable colour.

Number of Panels

Customize your door by choosing the number of panels (from 2 to 6).

A multi-panel door is not made from a single piece of material but consists of panels. This makes the door more beautiful and its construction more reliable.

Privacy Glazing

Consider the privacy glass feature if you want to equip your front doors with glass inserts or sidelights. We can add a textured look to the glass, which will provide you with the desired level of security.

Choose among Delta Frosted, Chinchilla, Pinhead, Acid Etched, Silvet options for glass inserts in your exterior door and enjoy the home’s comfort.

Way of Operation

You are welcome to choose the way your door will operate. You can opt for an in-swing or out-swing unit as well as select right-hand or left-hand operation.

We also offer to equip your new fiberglass doors with a self-closing system for greater convenience.
