ENTRY DOORS DESIGNED FOR ALL KINDS OF WEATHER
Therma-Tru’s® Impact Rated Products Meet Even
The Most Stringent Building Codes
MAUMEE, OHIO (October 10, 2007) ― For protection against severe weather, including hurricane-force winds, driving rain and flying debris, Therma-Tru offers a new line of impact rated entry products —Lip-Lite Impact Rated Glass and Opaque Impact Rated Doors.
The Lip-Lite Impact Rated Glass has an attractive scrolled frame design made of durable light-weight aluminum and is available for Therma-Tru’s 6’8” and 8’0” Fiber-Classic®, Smooth-Star® and Steel door lines. The frame’s width is unobtrusive compared to other industrial-type frames and it features a screw channel cover that hides unsightly screws giving the door a cleaner appearance. Homeowners can choose from a wider selection of hardware styles because the frame allows for extra room between the frame and the lockset.
In areas that are threatened by high velocity winds, Therma-Tru’s Opaque Impact Rated fiberglass doors will stand secure. Opaque Impact Rated Doors have the highest structural ratings and a pending design that includes a steel plate underneath the skin for added strength and rigidity. The doors are tough enough to withstand wind-borne debris and have been approved for installation in areas with the most stringent building codes and in High Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ). What’s more, the high-performance fiberglass door panels won’t warp, crack, rot, swell or split like wood doors, or rust, ding or dent like aluminum and steel.
All of this performance is packaged in a collection of Therma-Tru’s attractive fiberglass doors. Depending on the architectural style of the home, builders, remodelers and homeowners can select from a range of looks within the Classic-Craft® Rustic, Oak and Mahogany Collections developed with Therma-Tru’s proprietary AccuGrain™ Technology or from its other Fiber-Classic and Smooth-Star lines. Within these product lines, Therma-Tru offers 6’8” and 8’0” tall systems.
