Fiberglass is often considered one of the most energy efficient choices available but if you prefer the appearance of wood pella s vividgrain stain process provides a wood appearance on the fiberglass panel.
Pella vs therma tru fiberglass doors.
I replaced the steel entry door with a pella fiberglass door.
Provia is generally a little more expensive than therma tru especially in the builder grade or as therma tru calls it heart of the market fiberglass.
I had read about two years ago that therma tru has excellent quality in consumers report.
I liked the look better than the pella.
I just purchased a therma tru door but i have not had it installed yet.
While therma tru s fiberglass door systems have the rich look of wood they won t rot crack or split like wood doors or dent rust or corrode like steel doors.
In actual fact the steel doors either one cs or premium will hold a seal better than the fiberglass ones when under wind pressure.
Therma tru offers a broad range of price options from their cost effective benchmark by therma tru available only at lowes stores to their premium collection the classic craft collection.
The pella door showed signs of rot and delamination within 18 months of installation it s a wood frame with fg skins like therma tru i replaced the pella with a plastpro which is holding up beautifully for the past two years.
Therma tru s high quality materials withstand heat rain and cold while effectively reducing noise.
I have a friend who has a pella and she loves her door.
The quality of the perimeter seal is the same from the down and dirty construction series steel doors up to the classic craft fiberglass beauties.
