masonite vs therma tru doors

In 2016 the seal between the panes of glass failed due to the metal soldering bowing out At the top and bottom edge of the glass insert causing the decorative glass to separate from the soldering.

Answered in Why - I have learned and believe you get what you pay for. The seal is perfect to this day.

As a comparison, we had a Pella sliding patio door installed on the back of the house and when it became difficult to open and close they sent a team free of charge to adjust it even though the warranty period had I purchased my home new in 1994 with a Thermatru entry door. When instead, they'll be made just up the road and considered standard material. Posted in Who makes a better entry door Provia or Therma-Tru?We deal in Thermatru and Jeld Wen, both are great doors. Waiting to hear back. Posted in

We were able to haggle our salesman down to 6100.

(learn something new everyday :-) I can only imagine what that 3" thick EAS slab must cost and weigh???

First the frame system was not true/square, second, the core cutouts for the doorglass were cut too large and unevenly at that so the grille did not completely cover the opening!!

Answered in Kolbe & Kolbe. But I bet it's a beauty. I took a pic, and came home to research, and found that they are Provia, Steel, Barcelona style decorative glass. They can also be extremely expensive, they span a whole range of prices, just like US doors.Jesse - great links! I will not be buying these.

Answered in But we'd prefer to not have to choose between those two options, it would be much preferable to purchase windows and doors of this quality from a local manufacturer.

Pella, Masonite, Therma-Tru, Jeld-Wen and many other top entry doors manufacturers are expressing environmental commitment on their websites – compliance with environmental laws and regulations, energy conservation goals, use of wood fiber from well managed forest, biomaterials and other renewable and recycled materials, manufacturing of long lasting doors, and so on.

Here are some things to consider when comparing Provia and Therma Tru.When I stated that some very big home builders use Therma Tru, I failed to note that most builders use builder grade versions not the Therma Tru premium doors.

Realize some the Canadian fiberglass window companies make doors as well but it needs to be beautiful not just functional. Therma-Tru.

It was installed in September, 2014. I'm thinking I will definiately be going back to purchase 2 of these at $260 each.I'm looking at a Provia Storm Door Spectrum - 8 foot x 36 inch - kick plate bottom, double screen slide - any idea of cost - I don't know what to expectJust had a Provia door installed, love it. Thermatru agreed to send a new glass panel but refused to take care of installing it. Answered in Peachtree.

It was not manufactured properly.
