I have a customer who wants to install a fiberglass entry door unit. It is in southern California where snow is something we pay money to get on a plane and go see, rain is moderate during the ‘winter months’, but it will be in direct ‘hot’ sunlight all day long. The door she is looking at is made by ‘Therma-Tru’ and comes in a paint grade which she will paint to match her house. I would appreciate any feedback on experiences with fiberglass doors.
Thanks in advance
Jim
