FOR YOUR HOME.
UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE THEY ARE

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE LATEST
AND GREATEST OF THE ENTRY DOOR

SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE PAST FEW
YEARS AND ONLY GOTTEN BETTER.

DOOR'S PERIMETER.

SYSTEM.

ARE DESIGNED TO WORK TOGETHER
RELIABLY AND ENERGY EFFICIENTLY.

FEATURE.
IT'S A VENTED SIDE LIGHT.
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO OPEN YOUR
DOOR, YOU CAN OPEN UP THE SIDE.
THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF
DOORS FOR YOU TO CHOOSE FROM.
NEARLY ALL OF THEM ARE FLUSH OR
PANEL.
TODAY'S DOORS MOSTLY THE POPULAR
ONES OF MADE OF FIBERGLASS.
WHY?
BECAUSE IT WON'T RUST, WON'T
DENT AND PRETTY MUCH MAINTENANCE
FREE.
PLUSH DOORS ARE FLAT AND SMOOTH.

RECESSES.

YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE YOUR OWN FRONT
DOOR ENTRY SYSTEM.

IMPORTANT.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Chuck: LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS
WHOLE IDEA.
WHAT HAVE YOU BROUGHT WITH US?
YOU HAVE COOL IDEAS.
>> POPULAR FRONT DOORS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE IMPROVING
THEIR HOUSES AND THE FRONT DOOR
IS THE FIRST VISUAL FOCAL POINT.
SO TODAY, DOORS ARE MADE MORE
OUT OF FIBERGLASS THAN WOOD.
>> Chuck: BUT THEY LOOK LIKE
WOOD.
>> YEAH.
THIS IS FIBERGLASS.
LOOKS LIKE CHERRY.
ONE OF THE UNIQUE THINGS IS WHEN
OUR GUYS INSTALL THESE DOORS,
THEY MATCH THE TRIM AND THE WOOD
AROUND IT SO THEY'LL USE CHERRY
TRIM AND STAIN IT TO MATCH.
SO IT'S A COMPLETE SYSTEM.
A LOT OF COMPANIES PUT A DOOR IN
AND YOU HAVE THIS WHITEOUT LINE.
THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE.
>> Chuck: WHAT ABOUT THE
MATERIAL ITSELF FOR ENERGY
EFFICIENCY?
WHY NOT USE WOOD THEN?
>> THIS IS RESISTANT TO HIGH
TEMPERATURE.
IT'S INSULATED FOR HARSH WEATHER
AND WON'T WARP, WON'T DENT,
WON'T CRACK.
IT'S PRETTY GOOD.
>> Chuck: YOU ARE GOING TO TELL
ME THIS IS FIBERGLASS?
>> YEAH.
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR.
CRAFTSMAN STYLE.

IT'S INSULATED IN THE PANELS.
HEAVY DOOR DONE RIGHT.
>> Chuck: WHAT OTHER THINGS ARE
YOU ASKING PEOPLE TO THINK ABOUT
WHEN THEY ARE CONSIDERING A NEW
FRONT DOOR?

THAT'S INSTALLED PROPERLY.
BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE RIGHT
CONTRACTOR.

AND THAT'S WHERE IT WORKS.
>> Chuck: WHAT'S THE BIGGEST
MISTAKE PEOPLE MAKE TRYING TO
INSTALL ONE THEMSELVES?
>> THE BIGGEST MISTAKE IS THEY

DOORS BACK IN THE DAY THEY
WEREN'T ALWAYS THE SAME SIZE.
YOU REALLY HAVE TO MEASURE.
AND HOW FAR OUT DO YOU WANT TO
GO?
BRICK TO BRICK OR LEAVE THE JAM.
THERE ARE QUESTIONS YOU NEED TO
ASK.
OUR PROFESSIONALS CAN ANSWER
THOSE FOR YOU.
