Peachtree Entry Door Systems Deliver Possibilities for Flexible, Efficient and Captivating EntriesNew Pultruded Fiberglass Sill Integrates into Single Frame System

GAINESVILLE, Ga.--Performance, flexibility and captivating beauty are part of the equation in Peachtree® Possibilities™ when it comes to entry door systems. Whether fiberglass or steel panels, Peachtree Doors & Windows entry door systems aim to please even the most particular homeowner.

Peachtree Fiberglass Entry Doors System

"From Cape Cod to prairie to modern, Peachtree fiberglass and steel entry door systems can enhance the architectural detail of any home," said Jeff Kibler, Peachtree brand manager. "The product line is adaptable to elaborate, monumental entry ways or a simple country farmhouse porch. Homeowners will appreciate Peachtree's flexibility, performance and character."

Performance
Peachtree entry doors systems' superior construction delivers unmatched performance from bottom to top. A patented high-performance composite sill is standard on all Peachtree entry doors. Peachtree's new pultruded fiberglass sill allows for more flexibility for custom sizes and multi-wide door systems, and can be integrated into Peachtree's single frame system that previously encased just the door panel, sidelites, and transom. The single frame system creates a more durable unit that is easier to install, and provides greater structural strength and less chance for air and water infiltration at the joints.

The polyurethane core of both the Newport fiberglass and Avanti steel entry door systems delivers six times the energy efficiency of a wood door. Newport and Avanti also are more durable than wood and require less maintenance. Peachtree's flush glazing process tightly seals the window into the door panel and minimizes energy loss and creates cleaner sightlines.

Flexibility
Peachtree's flexibility begins with the choice in door panels: Newport textured fiberglass, smooth fiberglass or Duo-Choice™ fiberglass panels; or Avanti steel panels. Peachtree's Duo-Choice entry door lets homeowners choose a wood-grain textured skin on one side of the door and a smooth skin on the other. Newport or Avanti panels can be prefinished at the factory with an even, durable baked-on enamel finish in one of six popular colors: Classic White, Pebble Tan, Forest Green, Indigo, Brick Red and Burgundy. Simulated Divided Lite (SDL) grille bars also can be painted to match the door panel. Peachtree entry door frames with extruded aluminum cladding can be ordered in one of nine colors (Classic White, Ivory, Pebble Tan, Obsidian, Dark Bronze, Brick Red, Forest Green, Sierra Brown and Tan) to match clad exteriors of Peachtree's 500 and 700 Series windows and patio doors to ensure a consistent finish to all the home's openings. Peachtree textured entry door panels can now be factory stained to bring out their rich wood grain texture. Stain choices include: Dark Mahogany, Red Mahogany, Dark Walnut, Provincial, Early American and Golden Oak.

Peachtree entry doors are available in 6'8 and 8'0" heights. Sidelites in 12" or 14" widths add greater presence to an entryway, while a Peachtree-patented operable sidelite adds greater clearance to a narrow doorway. Homeowners can also add a window to their entry door panel in an array of combinations to create an extraordinary entrance. Transoms in standard or custom sizes and shapes further draw attention to a stunning entry and foyer.

Aesthetics
Many decorative features are available to add elegance to a standard door panel. Seven intricate decorative glass patterns are shaped by brass, zinc, patina or screened caming. For homeowners who prefer clear glass in their entry door, SDLs, Grilles-Between-The-Glass (GBG), Optically Divided Lites (ODL) and Snap-in Removable Wood Grilles are available for an added touch of class. For the ultimate in convenience, Peachtree now offers completely dust-free and maintenance-free Blinds in the Airspace.

With an entry door so beautiful, why cover it up with an unsightly screen door? Peachtree's retractable screen coils inside a discrete circular housing chamber extending from the sill to the top of the door frame when the screen is not being used. The tightly woven screen is nearly transparent when it is being used. It is available with Peachtree's most common sized entry doors.
