Fiberglass Doors better than Wood Doors ?

[Shane231]

Despite their beauty wood doors are often prone to problems that vary from warping, sagging and routine maintenance.Fiberglass doors offer five times the insulation of wood, on the other hand, have the genuine look and feel of a wood door without the head-aches. They do not chip, warp, rot or crack and don't require periodic ****ting. In addition, they are lighter so they're easier on the hinges and don't sag after time.
Fiberglass can be molded with wood graining and extremely intricate detail -- far more than we ever imagined possible. Fiberglass door systems are more resistant to forced entry than wood doors and offer an adjustable security strike plate that withstands 450 pounds of force. In wet climates, a wood door can rot; fiberglass won't. What do you think..is this better or should we stick to the traditional wood.

I would not consider a real wood door. You will have to resurface it at least every 5 years. Nobodies got time for that.

Well, fiber ones cannot withstand against high winds, besides you can find wood one to be. I would say both have their advantages. However, it depends upon ones use totally. I've recently replaced old wooden doors with the new fiber ones from oriental screen Bethesda MD. I strongly believe that these wooden doors and windows need to be repaired once in couple of years. Whereas, you can replace entire door in that particular time and they are cheap as well.
