Your front door is more than just an entry point; it's a statement piece that sets the tone for your home. At Fasada, we understand this. That's why we're proud to be your dedicated boutique for TruBilt and MASTERGRAIN™ door systems, offering a commitment to premium door treatments that transform your everyday living into a comfortable and elegant home. When you choose our trusted brand partners, you invest in the highest quality engineering and materials built to last.

When the time comes to select the perfect door for your entryway, several crucial factors come into play: durability, cost-effectiveness, energy efficiency, and ease of everyday maintenance. For many homeowners, fibreglass entry doors emerge as a popular and wise investment due to their remarkable versatility and inherent resilience.

Imagine the possibilities! Fibreglass entry doors from Fasada are available in all types of styles, so you can find the right fit for your home – modern, contemporary, classic, craftsman, and more – they all come in a diverse palette of colours and textures, ensuring a seamless complement to your unique home aesthetic.

The Unmatched Benefits of Fibreglass Entry Doors

Fasada's fibreglass entry doors offer homeowners a superior choice for style, performance, and longevity. With a wide array of customizable designs, these doors provide exceptional durability, energy efficiency, and low maintenance, mimicking the beauty of wood with innovative technology for enhanced security and thermal performance, ultimately creating a more comfortable and energy-conscious home.

Selection and Customization:

Our fibreglass door systems include a wide spectrum of designs, from timeless classics to sleek modern statements. This extensive selection empowers you to discover the perfect door that not only enhances your home's style but also perfectly suits its functional needs.

Durability and Performance

Engineered and manufactured for exceptional performance, fibreglass doors deliver superior durability and energy efficiency. This translates to long-lasting beauty, enhanced security, and a more comfortable and energy-conscious home.

Innovative Technology

Utilizing cutting-edge manufacturing techniques, our fibreglass doors showcase precise craftsmanship and stringent quality control. This results in doors with outstanding thermal performance, helping you save on energy bills.

Low-Maintenance

Enjoy the aesthetic appeal of wood without the upkeep! Fibreglass doors expertly mimic the look of natural wood while offering excellent insulation, thanks to their polyurethane foam core. They are also inherently warp-resistant, making them an ideal choice for various climates and architectural styles, perfect for Ontario weather.

Choosing an Entry Door Colour to Make a Statement 

Selecting the ideal entry door colour is a crucial step in amplifying your home’s curb appeal and showcasing your unique personal style. Fasada's diverse assortment of fibreglass doors presents exciting colour customization opportunities to achieve the desired effect. 

When setting out on this decision, carefully consider your home's architectural character, leaning toward impactful shades like teal or vibrant red to accentuate modern aesthetics while embracing timeless hues such as navy or deep green to complement more traditional designs. Pay close attention to the existing colour palette of your siding, trim, and landscaping; a deliberately contrasting door colour can establish a captivating focal point, whereas a thoughtfully chosen complementary shade can create a sense of stunning visual unity within your property's exterior. 

To guarantee your colour choice resonates perfectly, it's highly advisable to test paint samples under the varying light conditions throughout the day in Ontario’s specific climate, and our experienced design specialists at Fasada, are readily available to provide expert guidance throughout this selection process, ensuring your ultimate choice not only elevates your home's aesthetic charm but also aligns seamlessly with your practical requirements and your neighbourhood’s distinct architectural landscape.

Fibreglass vs. Steel Entry Doors: Understanding the Key Differences 

When deciding between fibreglass and steel entry doors, it's essential to consider your specific needs regarding durability, aesthetics, and budget.

Fibreglass Doors: Renowned for their remarkable versatility and minimal maintenance requirements, fibreglass doors can beautifully replicate the look of real wood. They boast excellent resistance to warping and provide superior insulation against both heat and cold. Lightweight yet incredibly durable, these doors are resistant to dents and scratches, making them a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing option for homeowners.

Steel Entry Doors: Offering exceptional strength and security, steel doors often present a more affordable upfront cost and deliver a sleek, contemporary appearance. While highly durable, they can be susceptible to dents and may require occasional touch-ups to prevent rust.

Ultimately, the ideal choice hinges on your individual priorities concerning style, security, and the specific climate considerations of your location.

Front Door Safety Features Fasada Can Introduce to your Home

Multi-Point Locking Systems: These advanced mechanisms secure the door at multiple points along the frame (top, middle, and bottom) when the handle is turned or a lock is engaged. This provides significantly enhanced resistance against forced entry compared to a single deadbolt.  

Reinforced Frames and Stiles: Utilizing stronger materials like laminated strand lumber or incorporating metal reinforcements within the door frame and vertical edges (stiles) to resist warping, bowing, and forced entry.

Steel Security Plates: Reinforcement around the lock area to prevent drilling or kicking in the lock mechanism.

Security Glazing: Impact-resistant or laminated glass in door lites (windows) to deter breakage and entry.

Integration with Smart Locks: TruBilt and MASTERGRAIN™ doors, while not inherently "smart," can be designed to accommodate various aftermarket smart lock systems seamlessly. This allows homeowners to add features such as:

  • Keyless Entry: Using keypads, fingerprint scanners, or smartphone apps.

  • Remote Locking/Unlocking: Controlling the door from anywhere via a smartphone.

  • Activity Monitoring: Receiving notifications when the door is locked or unlocked.

  • Temporary Access Codes: Granting entry to guests or service providers.

Integration with Smart Home Systems: Compatibility with platforms like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit for voice control and automation.
