Already regarded by the building industry as a revolution in fiberglass doors, JELD-WEN® IWP® Aurora™ Custom Fiberglass Exterior doors received a Best Buy rating from Consumers Digest, a leading resource for homeowners seeking guidance for their purchasing decisions.
JELD-WEN IWP Aurora Custom Fiberglass doors were selected as a Best Buy in Consumers Digest’s August 2005 issue, along with other solutions for homeowners who want to upgrade and enhance their entry doors. Consumers Digest singled out Aurora’s high style and high-performance benefits.
“We are impressed by the way this high-quality, textured, fiberglass door is designed to be virtually indistinguishable from a custom natural wood door,” Consumers Digest wrote. “Knots and other details are hand-painted so your door will be one of a kind.”
Composite building materials that can double for genuine wood represent a larger trend in the building industry, according to JELD-WEN experts.
“Homeowners often want the look of real wood, but may live in a region where moisture, termites or extreme weather are concerns,” said Shane Meisel, marketing manager for JELD-WEN premium and custom doors.
“Aurora doors are designed to meet the demand for the look of solid wood, matched with the low maintenance and hassle-free benefits of a fiberglass entry system.”
JELD-WEN IWP Aurora Custom Fiberglass doors are cast from a solid wood door and mimic its grain, knots and imperfections to a remarkable degree. Yet because they are made of fiberglass, IWP Aurora doors are the perfect choice for hot, harsh desert or moist, salty coastal conditions.
They are extremely durable, energy efficient and strong, while offering elegant beauty and curb appeal for years to come.
JELD-WEN IWP Aurora Custom Fiberglass doors are available in three collections: the charming Old World collection, the new Craftsman collection, and the traditional Classic collection, which includes French door styles. Doors come with a variety of decorative glass and sidelight options, are offered in three woodgrain textures and in 19 prefinished color choices.
JELD-WEN IWP Aurora doors are available prehung in the Insignia® composite or wood frame system, providing an impact-safe rating when installed with an all-panel door.
