  • Fiberglass Doors Don't Sacrifice Style for Substance
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (1/25/2008)
  • 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. But the owner of Columbus, Ohio-based Rosati Windows says one glass design sells particularly well in his hometown: the Ohio State block 'O.' "We sell just a ton of those," he says. Of course, not all clients want a door emblazoned with their alma mater's logo, but many are upgrading their entry systems with other features that suit their tastes. 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."
