Wood Doors

Wood doors are natural insulators and can be trimmed to fit an existing doorway. There are two types of wood doors: stile and rail, and flush – both are built around a frame of stile and rail members. Panels or glass fill the spaces between the members of a stile-and-rail wood door, while the frame of a flush wood door is completely covered on both sides with a wood veneer, hardboard, plastic laminate or other material. Flush doors may be hollow or solid; solid core doors provide better security, sound proofing and fire resistance than hollow core doors.

• Natural and elegant appearance
• Many wood species are available including: mahogany, walnut, oak and more
• Available in a variety of panel configurations and elegant glass designs
• Today's wood doors resist warping from humidity and temperature changes
• Consistent maintenance required

Fibreglass Doors

Fibreglass doors offer excellent durability. They are resistent to denting, rotting, cracking and warping. They are energy efficient and require little maintenance over the course of their lives. Fibreglass doors can give the appearance of a wood-grain finish or a smooth finish.

• High durability
• Available in a variety of panel designs and glass options
• Paintable and stainable
• Virtually maintenance-free

Steel Doors

Steel doors are constructed from heavy-gauge, galvanized steel and provide superior security without sacrificing style. They have a wood stile-and-rail framework filled with polyurethane insulating foam and covered with a steel skin. The skins are often embossed to match traditional wood door styles.

• Superior security
• Low-maintenance
• Insulated core for greater energy efficiency
• Wide variety of panel designs and glass options
• Available in steel-edge and wood-edge construction

Sliding patio doors may be manufactured with aluminum, wood or vinyl frames. Most are two-panel doors, with an active (operating) panel and an inactive (fixed) panel. The glass may be single or insulating, but it is always tempered safety glass. Sliding doors are great space savers as the operating panel slides on a horizontal track in front of the fixed panel instead of swinging into the room. Be sure to choose the sliding direction that best suits the flow of your room, either left or right.

• Space saver, no swinging space necessary
• Provides unobstructed view of the garden

Hinged patio doors are more energy-efficient and are available in wood, fibreglass and steel construction. Their security features are superior to those of sliding doors, and double-hinged French doors allow accessibility to the full width of the opening to accommodate busy household traffic. Hinged patio doors are easier to operate, and are available in several designs. Sidelites/transoms and fixed panel systems are available.

• Superior energy efficiency
• Maximizes functional opening
