Grand openings

MANY FIBERGLASS-composite doors not only resemble real wood but also have wood components. This Arcadia door from Therma-Tru has kiln-dried oak edges and lumber reinforcement for the lockset.

MOST CUSTOM DOORS are really modifications of a standard door design. This Chautauqua Woods system includes decorative glass ovals and sidelight muntins.

ENTRY DOORS are the only opportunity to add decorative glass accents on most homes. The Cambria door from Simpson contains leaded glass in a variety of designs. Prices start at about $850.

BEAUTY CAN BE more than skin deep on a steel entry door. The Sta-Tru line from Stanley offers a variety of glazing options and includes an insulated core for energy efficiency. Prices start at about $1,200 for the system shown.
