Plastpro

Plastpro fiberglass entry doors are for your home’s entrance, giving homeowners and builders wood-look choices aimed at less upkeep. Composite frame options address warping around the door. Choose the style, finish and frame together because you’ll live with the whole entrance.

Plastpro is a fiberglass entry-door manufacturer founded by Shirley Wang in 1994. The company is based in Los Angeles, California. It manufactures fiberglass doors in Ashtabula, Ohio, and its products include PF composite frames and glass doorlites.

Choosing the door’s style

Modern is the starting point for an entrance with clean, simple trim. Its streamlined styling lets the door follow the house’s lines. Keep the panel detail simple when the surrounding trim is simple.

Craftsman draws from nineteenth- and twentieth-century architecture. Direct Glazed Shaker Craftsman doors come in smooth and fir skins. Choose smooth for an even painted appearance or fir when grain is part of the look you want.

Rustic uses vertical planks, detailed panels and arched tops for a country-inspired entrance. Radius-top and arched-top options make the opening’s shape part of the selection, especially on a replacement job.

ONYX is Plastpro’s black-door series, designed for less frequent maintenance or painting. It’s the line to consider when a black finish is central to the entrance. Glass choices include half-lite, three-quarter-lite and full-lite options.

Moisture protection through the door and frame

HydroShield Technology seals and protects the door on all six sides against moisture and humidity. Full-length composite stiles, the door’s vertical edges, provide additional protection against external moisture that can lead to warping or rot. That’s a useful construction detail at an exterior entrance. Sill flashing and drainage still deserve careful attention because water also reaches the opening around the door.

The frame holds the hinges and establishes how the door fits and seals. Plastpro’s PF, short for Polyfiber, is a composite entry-door frame designed to resist warping. Treating the frame as an afterthought is a mistake; include it when settling the opening measurements and swing direction. Plastpro’s Specification Guide provides product measurements and details for that planning.

Finish and glass choices

Plastpro Optimum includes factory-finished doors and jambs, which puts the finishing work ahead of installation. For woodgrain products, Plastpro describes a base coat, stain and topcoat. For a single-door project, start with standard Sherwin-Williams exterior paint colors; sample color matching requires an order of at least 100 doors.

Plastpro offers glass designs with different textures and opacities. Glass area and privacy are separate decisions. For an entrance facing a walkway, choose the opacity around the view into your hallway, then choose how much of the door you want glazed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Plastpro fiberglass doors a good choice?

Plastpro fiberglass doors make sense if you want the appearance of wood with less upkeep. The fiberglass skins resist rot, rust and splintering, and they can be painted or stained. Choose the surface grain with the finished appearance in mind, because the finish color is only part of the look.

What are Plastpro doors made of?

Plastpro doors combine fiberglass-reinforced skins with a high-density, CFC-free polyurethane foam core and a full-length laminated veneer lumber block. Composite stiles and top and bottom rails protect the door edges against moisture. If wet door edges are a concern at your entrance, that edge construction deserves as much attention as the face of the door.

What options are in the Plastpro door catalog?

Plastpro offers glass designs with different textures and opacities, plus caming options that coordinate with hardware finishes. Caming is the metal detail between pieces of decorative glass. For your entrance, choose the privacy level first, then match that metal detail to the hardware so the glass and handle look right together.
