Fiberglass Doors Don't Sacrifice Style for Substance (BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine)

Michael Rosati sells a wide variety of options for fiberglass doors. Popular choices include nine-panel styles with lites, wood-look finishes, and custom art-glass inserts.

And fiberglass door manufacturers are capitalizing on that fact with choices galore. "We're in the fashion business," says Marcel Chehade, national sales manager for Plastpro. "One of the things we get into is making sure we have products that fit all types of styles of décor."
