Urethane Finishing Process — Our environmentally-friendly finishing system utilizes stain-and-seal urethanes. This procedure uses a proprietary patent-pending finishing system designed to offer a "real-wood" look to our fiberglass doors.
Our Estate Collection ™ Factory Finish options have been designed to maximize the beauty and richness of real Mahogany, Cherry, and Knotty Alder woodgrains and processed with long-lasting multi-layered and multi-colored UV Finish. This 10-step finish process combines multiple coats of stains and clear UV topcoats with ultraviolet inhibitors to preserve the beautiful appearance of your door. Our Artisan Collection ™ Factory Finish options provide a combination of special antique patina, natural knot patterns and bur marks, rustic characteristics, indentations, pits, scores and worm holes. These artisan finishes, wood grains and textures help reproduce six unique and beautiful wood grains including Pacific Knotty Alder, American Black Walnut, Antique Cherry, Reclaimed Mahogany, and Craftsman Mahogany. Please note: The photos on the catalog pages offer an indication of the final appearance, but due to variations in the texture, grain and color of the fiberglass finish, the actual appearance will vary. These six wood grains are only available from GlassCraft and use patented technology, the latest state-of-the-art equipment, materials and skilled artisans to produce the finest, most realistic, and most authentic wood grain fiberglass doors that do “look so good, you’ll think they’re wood.” Enhanced with long-lasting, multi-layered and multi-colored UV Finish, this 12-step finish process combines multiple coats of stains and clear UV topcoats with ultraviolet inhibitors to preserve the beautiful appearance of your door. Finally, a natural and authentic wood grain and color finish on a fiberglass door that has been designed to last.
