HOME BUILDERS OPEN DOOR TO ELEGANT MAHOGANY BEAUTY
Classic-Craft® Mahogany Collection™ Creates a Truly Better Entrance,
New Eight-Panel Door Style Adds Elegant Appeal
MAUMEE, OH (January 11, 2006) – Therma-Tru® Doors reinvented the mahogany door category with the introduction of the Classic-Craft® Mahogany Collection™ fiberglass door system, proving that beauty is more than skin deep with a high-style, high-performance entry door system that delivers the rich look of the real endangered wood with the performance of fiberglass.
Therma-Tru recently introduced a 6'8" x 3'0" Classic-Craft Mahogany eight-panel style door. This door offers the beauty, look and feel of an authentic wood door with the performance benefits of fiberglass. The molded open design allows for the option of a center arch decorative glass or solid eight-panel door. The center arch 10" x 42" glass is available in Arcadia™, Ashurst™, Longford™ and clear styles, and optional matching center arch sidelites would create a grand entrance.
A new 6'8" Mahogany full-lite flush-glazed sidelite was also being introduced. The sidelite compliments the Mahogany six-panel door style and is available in decorative glass styles.
Therma-Tru's Mahogany Collection helps builders, remodelers and homeowners create a grand entranceway reminiscent of America's great historic homes. The Mahogany door system offers the elegant look and fine, authentic grain of Honduran Mahogany with intricate detailing and a surface that can be beautifully finished to complement any home's exterior.
Developed by the R&D engineers at Therma-Tru's Advanced Technology Center using the company's unique and proprietary AccuGrainä technology, the Mahogany door system is more than just a beautiful door – it delivers thermal performance and lasting durability that won't crack, rot or split like real wood. AccuGrain technology, Therma-Tru's superior, patented graining process, delivers lasting beauty and realistic wood graining unmatched in the industry.
"Builders, remodelers, architects and homeowners have really responded to the Mahogany Collection," said John Kufner, General Manager, Entry Door Systems, for Therma-Tru Doors. "Initial demand for this door has been tremendous and it is quickly becoming one of the most popular products in our portfolio. Now, we are expanding our product line with new styles to meet our customers'needs."
The new Mahogany door system is offered with FrameSaver™, a moisture- and insect-proof frame and a multi-point locking system. The entire Classic-Craft system is covered by a lifetime limited warranty, one of the best in the business.
