Flberghlr Door Lore

Fiberglass doors look so much like wood that another wood industry magazine ran a picture of one to illustrate an article about wood doors according to Therma-Tru Doors.

Other interesting bits of trivia about the door which claims to withstand arctic temperatures and tropical hurricanes equally well: o Blows from the tails of 2,336 alligators at Foster Farms, Ft. Drum, Fl., have failed to destroy fiberglass doors used on their pens. (They spintered wood doors and dented steel doors. Not only that, certain liquids produced by alligators tend to be a bit acidic and were eating away at both kinds of doors.) o Texas police raiding a drug dealer's hideout couldn't penetrate the fiberglass entry door. l2l Yard was open to guests. l3l Special entertainment area rvas set up for the children. l4l Stage for entertainers was backed with packages of Bean untreated lumber with packages of Bean southern Dine lumber used for seats. The annual party was held April 22.

. President Bush's house at Kennebunkport, Me.. has a fiberglass door.

. Rooms facing the Gulf (and hurricanes winds) at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, Naples, Fl., have fiberglass exterior doors.
