Construction and materials
JELD-WEN offers a diverse range of exterior doors designed to enhance both the aesthetics and security of your home. These doors are crafted with a variety of materials and construction methods to suit different needs and preferences, from custom designs to fire-rated and entry door solutions.
The construction of JELD-WEN exterior doors emphasizes durability and performance. Key construction features often include:
- Core Construction: Depending on the specific door model, cores can be solid or hollow. Solid cores, often made from engineered wood, composite, or wood, provide enhanced insulation, sound dampening, and a more substantial feel. Hollow cores, typically found in some panel doors, offer a lighter-weight and more cost-effective option.
- Stile and Rail Construction: Many JELD-WEN doors utilize a traditional stile and rail construction, where vertical stiles and horizontal rails form the frame. This method is known for its structural integrity and can be found in panel and Dutch doors.
- Panel Design: Exterior doors feature a variety of panel designs, from traditional raised or flat panels to more contemporary styles. These panels contribute to the door's visual appeal and can be made from materials like wood, composite, or glass.
- Frame and Jambs: Doors are typically fitted into robust frames and jambs, often made from wood, composite materials, or even metal for fire-rated applications. These components ensure a secure fit and proper sealing against the elements.
- Insulation: For energy efficiency, many JELD-WEN exterior doors incorporate insulation within their core. This can include foam insulation or strategically designed air pockets to reduce heat transfer.
The materials used in JELD-WEN exterior doors are selected for their performance, durability, and aesthetic qualities. These may include:
- Wood: A traditional and versatile material, JELD-WEN offers exterior doors in various wood species, such as pine, fir, and oak. These can be finished with stains or paints to match existing architectural styles. Wood doors offer natural beauty and can be custom-designed.
- Composite Materials: Engineered wood composites and fiberglass are frequently used for their resistance to warping, cracking, and decay. Fiberglass doors are particularly noted for their durability, low maintenance, and ability to mimic the look of wood while offering superior performance in harsh weather conditions.
- Steel: For enhanced security and fire resistance, JELD-WEN offers steel exterior doors. These are often constructed with a steel skin over a solid or composite core, providing robust protection and meeting stringent fire-rating standards.
- Glass: Many JELD-WEN exterior doors incorporate glass elements, including decorative glass inserts, sidelites, and full glass panels. These can be single-pane, double-pane, or triple-pane for improved energy efficiency and sound insulation. Options for tempered or impact-resistant glass are also available for safety and security.
- Hardware: While not always part of the door construction itself, hardware such as hinges, locks, and handles are critical components. JELD-WEN doors are designed to accommodate a wide range of hardware for security and functional purposes.
JELD-WEN's product line includes specific types of exterior doors tailored to unique needs:
- Custom Doors: For homeowners seeking a unique look, JELD-WEN provides custom exterior door options, allowing for specific dimensions, materials, panel configurations, and glass designs.
- Fire-Rated Doors: These doors are engineered and tested to meet specific fire-resistance ratings, providing an essential safety feature for certain applications. They are typically constructed with specialized materials and internal components to slow the spread of fire and smoke.
- Entry Doors: The primary entry door to a home is a focal point and a critical security element. JELD-WEN offers a wide selection of entry doors in various styles, materials, and finishes to complement any home's architecture.
- Dutch Doors: Known for their distinctive split design, Dutch doors allow the top and bottom halves to be opened independently, offering versatility for ventilation and interaction.
- Panel Doors: These classic doors are characterized by their stiles, rails, and panels, offering a traditional aesthetic that can be adapted to various home styles.
- Barn Doors: While often used for interior applications, JELD-WEN also offers exterior barn door systems, providing a rustic and distinctive look for porches, patios, or as accent features.
Glass Options
JELD-WEN offers a variety of glass options to enhance the aesthetic and functional qualities of their exterior doors. These options are designed to cater to diverse design preferences and performance needs, allowing homeowners to customize their entryways.
The available glass types include:
- Clear Glass: This is a standard, transparent glass that allows maximum light transmission and offers unobstructed views. It is a versatile choice suitable for a wide range of architectural styles.
- Frosted Glass: Frosted glass provides privacy by obscuring the view while still allowing light to pass through. This option is ideal for areas where a balance between natural light and privacy is desired, such as entryways or doors leading to bathrooms or side yards.
- Obscure Glass: Similar to frosted glass, obscure glass offers enhanced privacy. JELD-WEN offers various obscure glass patterns, each with a different level of light diffusion and visual distortion to meet specific privacy requirements.
- Decorative Glass: This category encompasses a range of styles, including etched, textured, and beveled glass. Decorative glass adds a unique artistic element to the door, creating a focal point and enhancing curb appeal. Options may include intricate patterns, geometric designs, or stained glass-inspired inserts.
- Low-E (Low-Emissivity) Glass: Low-E glass is an energy-efficient option that has a microscopically thin, transparent coating. This coating reflects infrared light (heat), helping to keep homes cooler in the summer by reflecting solar heat gain and warmer in the winter by reflecting indoor heat back into the room. This can contribute to reduced energy bills.
- Tempered Glass: Tempered glass is a safety glass that is four to five times stronger than standard glass. It is heat-treated to increase its strength and resistance to breakage. If it does break, it shatters into small, relatively harmless pebble-like pieces, significantly reducing the risk of injury.
- Laminated Glass: Laminated glass consists of two or more panes of glass bonded together with a plastic interlayer, typically polyvinyl butyral (PVB). This construction makes it highly resistant to impact and penetration. If broken, the glass fragments adhere to the interlayer, remaining largely in place and offering an added layer of security and sound insulation.
JELD-WEN also provides options for insulated glass units (IGUs), often referred to as double-pane or triple-pane glass. These units consist of two or more panes of glass separated by a sealed space filled with air or an inert gas like argon. IGUs significantly improve thermal performance by reducing heat transfer, contributing to better insulation and energy efficiency.
Frame Options
JELD-WEN offers a diverse range of frame options to complement their exterior door selections, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and robust performance. These frame systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with their various door styles, including custom, fire-rated, entry, Dutch, and panel doors.
The primary frame materials available are:
- Wood: JELD-WEN provides high-quality wood frames that offer a classic and versatile look. These frames can be stained or painted to match any exterior design. They are typically constructed from durable species suitable for exterior applications.
- Composite: Composite frames offer enhanced durability and resistance to rot, decay, and insects. They are engineered for longevity and require minimal maintenance, making them a practical choice for many homeowners.
- Fiberglass: Fiberglass frames are known for their strength, impact resistance, and low maintenance. They are resistant to warping and cracking and can mimic the look of wood without the associated upkeep.
Beyond material choices, JELD-WEN frames can also be configured with specific features:
- Primed: Many frame options come primed, providing a ready surface for painting to achieve the desired color and finish that complements the door and surrounding architecture.
- Unfinished: For those who prefer to select their own finishing products, unfinished frames are available. This allows for complete customization to match specific design palettes.
Specific to JELD-WEN's exterior door categories, frame options are designed to meet the unique demands of each type:
- Custom and Entry Doors: These often feature robust frame systems designed for security and weather resistance, with a wide array of material and finish choices to enhance curb appeal.
- Fire-Rated Doors: Frames for fire-rated doors are engineered to meet stringent safety standards. They are typically constructed from materials and designs that contribute to the overall fire resistance rating of the door system. Specific details on materials and construction for fire-rated frames would be available upon further inquiry.
- Dutch Doors: Frames for Dutch doors are designed to accommodate the unique two-part opening mechanism, ensuring proper fit and function for both the upper and lower door panels.
- Panel Doors and Barn Doors: While panel doors utilize more traditional frame types, barn doors, often mounted externally, may have frame considerations that relate to their mounting hardware and the overall aesthetic of the opening.
The specific frame profiles and configurations available may vary by door collection and product line. It is recommended to consult product-specific documentation or a JELD-WEN representative for precise frame details related to a particular door model.
Hardware
JELD-WEN offers a diverse selection of hardware options designed to complement their extensive range of exterior doors. These hardware choices are crucial for both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your entry, Dutch, panel, barn, custom, and fire-rated doors.
The hardware available caters to various styles and security needs. For entry doors, JELD-WEN provides options that enhance curb appeal and offer robust security. This typically includes:
- Locksets: Available in various configurations such as deadbolt and knob combinations, as well as single cylinder deadbolts for enhanced security. Finishes often include popular choices like brushed nickel, polished brass, oil-rubbed bronze, and black, allowing for coordination with exterior color schemes.
- Handlesets: These offer a more decorative and substantial look for entry doors, often paired with a deadbolt. They come in a wide array of designs, from traditional to contemporary, and in the same finish options as locksets.
- Knobs and Levers: Interior and exterior knobs and levers are offered for standard door functions. These are available in various ergonomic designs and finishes to match the overall hardware suite.
- Hinges: While often functional, hinges can also contribute to the door's appearance. Options may include decorative finial hinges for a more traditional look, or standard butt hinges in various finishes.

- Specialized hinges and latches to ensure a secure seal when the door is fully closed.
Barn doors, known for their rustic and sliding functionality, come with their own set of specialized hardware:
- Track Systems: Available in various lengths and styles, including top-mount and side-mount options, with finishes like black, stainless steel, and oil-rubbed bronze.
- Rollers/Wheels: These glide along the track, designed for smooth and quiet operation. Styles can range from industrial to decorative.

- Stops and Guides: These components ensure the door operates within its intended path and prevents it from swinging.
Fire-rated doors require specific hardware that meets stringent safety standards. While the aesthetic options may be more limited for these doors, functionality and compliance are paramount. Hardware for fire-rated doors typically includes:
- Fire-rated hinges that are designed to maintain their integrity under high heat conditions.
- Fire-rated locksets and closers that are tested and approved for use with fire-rated assemblies.
Custom doors offer the greatest flexibility in hardware selection, allowing for unique combinations and styles to achieve a truly personalized look. This can include:
- A wide range of decorative knobs, levers, and handles in diverse materials and finishes.
- Specialized locking mechanisms and security features tailored to the homeowner's needs.
Across all JELD-WEN exterior door types, homeowners can expect hardware that is designed for durability and to withstand outdoor elements.

Glass Options
Kolbe Windows & Doors offers a variety of glass options to enhance the performance, aesthetics, and functionality of their exterior entry doors. These options cater to different needs, from energy efficiency and light control to privacy and decorative appeal.Glass Performance Options
Kolbe provides several glass packages designed to improve thermal performance, reduce unwanted solar heat gain, and offer UV protection.- Low E Glass: This is a fundamental option for energy efficiency. Low E (low emissivity) coatings are microscopically thin and virtually invisible, but they significantly reduce heat transfer. In colder climates, it helps keep indoor heat from escaping, while in warmer climates, it reflects solar heat away from the building, reducing cooling costs.
- Solar Gain Low E Glass: A specialized type of Low E glass designed to allow more solar heat to enter the home during winter months, further aiding in passive heating. This is particularly beneficial in colder regions.
- Triple Pane Glass: For maximum thermal performance and sound reduction, triple pane glass is available. This configuration includes three panes of glass with two insulating gas-filled spaces between them, creating a superior barrier against heat loss and gain.
- Argon or Krypton Gas Fill: The spaces between glass panes can be filled with inert gases like Argon or Krypton. These gases are denser than air and provide an additional layer of insulation, further enhancing the thermal efficiency of the glass unit.
- Warm Edge Spacer System: This system utilizes advanced spacer materials between the glass panes that reduce the conduction of heat at the edges of the glass unit. This minimizes condensation and improves overall energy performance.
- ENERGY STAR Qualified: Many of Kolbe's glass configurations meet or exceed ENERGY STAR requirements, signifying high levels of energy efficiency.
Glass Privacy and Decorative Options
Beyond performance, Kolbe offers a range of decorative and privacy glass choices to complement the architectural style of the home and provide desired levels of seclusion.- Obscure Glass: This type of glass distorts the view while allowing natural light to pass through. It is ideal for areas where privacy is essential, such as bathrooms or entryways where direct views into the home are not desired.
- Textured Glass: Kolbe offers various textures that can add visual interest and privacy. These textures range from subtle patterns to more pronounced designs, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the door.
- Etched Glass: Available in custom designs or standard patterns, etched glass provides a sophisticated and elegant privacy solution.
- Beveled Glass: Beveled glass inserts can add a touch of traditional elegance with light-reflecting facets.
- Art Glass: For a distinctive look, Kolbe may offer art glass options, which can include hand-crafted designs and unique color compositions.
- Frosted Glass: Similar to obscure glass, frosted glass offers privacy by diffusing light and obscuring the view.
Additional Glass Features
Kolbe's glass options may also include features that enhance durability and convenience.- Tempered Glass: For safety and security, tempered glass is often used. It is stronger than standard glass and designed to break into small, blunt pieces if shattered, reducing the risk of injury.
- Laminated Glass: This type of glass consists of two or more panes of glass bonded together with an interlayer. It offers enhanced security, sound dampening, and UV protection.
- Low Iron Glass: For exceptional clarity and true color rendition, low iron glass can be specified. It minimizes the greenish tint often found in standard clear glass, offering a more transparent view.

Options-Styles
Milgard offers a distinguished selection of Style options for their Exterior Patio-Side Hinged Doors, commonly known as French Doors, designed to enhance the aesthetic and functionality of your home. Each style is crafted with attention to detail, ensuring a perfect blend of classic elegance and modern performance.
The primary distinction in Style options lies in the configuration and design of the door panels and their operational capabilities. Milgard focuses on delivering both the timeless charm of traditional French doors and the versatile practicality demanded by contemporary living.
Style Options:- Inswing French Doors: These doors are designed to open inward into your home. This configuration is ideal for spaces where outward swing might obstruct walkways, patios, or landscaping. The inswing design offers a traditional and classic appearance, reminiscent of European architectural styles, and can help protect the door from the elements when closed.
- Outswing French Doors: In contrast to inswing doors, outswing French doors open outward, away from your home. This is a popular choice for maximizing interior living space and is often preferred for its ability to create a more open and airy feel when the doors are fully opened. Outswing doors are also excellent for enhancing security as they are more difficult to force open from the outside.
- Stationary French Doors: While not operational, stationary French doors provide the same elegant visual appeal of French doors without the ability to open. They are often used in conjunction with operational French doors to create a grander entrance or to frame a specific view. They can also be used in locations where ventilation is not a requirement but the desired aesthetic is.
Beyond the swing direction, the Style options also encompass the materials and finishes available, allowing for further customization to match your home's architectural style. While the specific material types are not detailed under the "Style" category, Milgard is known for its commitment to durable and aesthetically pleasing materials across its product lines.
The frame profiles and hardware choices (though not detailed as primary Style options) further contribute to the overall look and feel, allowing homeowners to achieve a personalized and sophisticated entryway.

Frame Options
Neuma Doors offers robust and visually appealing frame options designed to complement their exterior door systems. These frames are engineered for durability, security, and ease of operation, ensuring a premium experience for homeowners.
-
Frame Types:
- Standard Frame: This is the foundational frame option, providing a secure and reliable structure for Neuma Doors' sliding and gliding systems. It is designed for optimal performance and integration with the door panels.
- Slim Frame: For a more contemporary and minimalist aesthetic, the Slim Frame option minimizes visible framing, maximizing glass exposure. This allows for unobstructed views and a sleeker appearance, enhancing the overall architectural appeal of the entryway.
-
Frame Materials:
- Neuma Doors' frames are constructed from high-quality materials that are chosen for their strength, longevity, and resistance to the elements. While specific material types for frames are not detailed, the brand's commitment to durable exterior products suggests materials like reinforced aluminum or composite structures designed to withstand weather conditions and daily use.
-
Frame Finishes:
- The frames are available in a selection of finishes designed to coordinate with various home exteriors. These finishes are applied to ensure a lasting and attractive appearance. Common finishes for exterior door systems include anodized options and powder-coated colors that offer superior resistance to fading and corrosion.
-
Frame Features:
- Neuma Doors' frames are engineered with performance in mind. Key features often include enhanced security mechanisms, thermal breaks for improved energy efficiency, and robust weatherstripping to prevent drafts and water infiltration. The design also prioritizes smooth operation of the door panels, contributing to the overall user experience.
Glass Options
Neuma Doors offers a selection of high-quality glass options designed to enhance both the aesthetics and performance of their exterior doors. These options provide varying degrees of light transmission, privacy, and energy efficiency to suit diverse customer needs.
- Clear Insulated Glass: This standard option features double-pane construction with an air-filled space between the panes. It offers excellent clarity for maximizing natural light and provides a good level of thermal insulation, contributing to energy savings.
- Low-E Insulated Glass: For enhanced energy efficiency, Neuma Doors provides Low-E (Low-Emissivity) insulated glass. This type of glass has a microscopic metallic coating applied to one or more surfaces of the glass panes. This coating reflects infrared light (heat) while allowing visible light to pass through. In warmer months, it helps keep heat out, reducing cooling costs. In colder months, it helps keep heat inside, minimizing heating expenses.
- Obscure Insulated Glass: For privacy, Neuma Doors offers obscure insulated glass. This option diffuses light, obscuring the view from the outside while still allowing natural light to enter. This is ideal for areas where privacy is a primary concern, such as bathrooms or side entrances.
- Tempered Glass: In certain configurations and based on building codes, Neuma Doors may offer tempered glass. Tempered glass is a type of safety glass that has been treated with heat or chemical treatments to increase its strength. When broken, it shatters into small, relatively harmless granular pieces rather than sharp shards, making it a safer option for doors.
- Laminated Glass: Another safety glass option, laminated glass consists of two or more layers of glass bonded together with an interlayer, typically polyvinyl butyral (PVB). This construction provides enhanced security, as the interlayer holds the glass fragments together if the glass breaks, making it more resistant to penetration. It also offers UV protection and improved sound insulation.
The specific availability of these glass options may vary depending on the door model and its intended application. Customers are encouraged to consult with a Neuma Doors representative or review product specifications for detailed information on the glass types included with each door style.
Hardware
Neuma Doors offers a range of hardware options designed to complement their exterior door systems, specifically focusing on patio and gliding doors. These hardware selections are engineered for both aesthetic appeal and functional performance, ensuring a seamless integration with the overall door design.
The hardware is available in several finishes, providing homeowners with the flexibility to match their existing exterior décor or to create a distinct look. The available finishes include:
- White
- Brushed Nickel
- Black
These finishes are chosen for their durability and ability to withstand various weather conditions, maintaining their appearance over time. The hardware is designed with user convenience in mind, featuring smooth operation and ergonomic designs that are easy to grip and manipulate.
For their gliding door systems, Neuma Doors typically incorporates robust track and roller mechanisms. These are engineered for quiet, smooth operation, allowing for effortless gliding of the door panels. The roller systems are designed to handle the weight of the glass and frame, ensuring long-term reliability and ease of use. The locking mechanisms are integrated into the hardware, providing security without compromising the clean lines of the door.
The handles and locking systems are designed to be both secure and aesthetically pleasing. They are constructed from high-quality materials to ensure longevity and resistance to corrosion. The design of the handles is often sleek and modern, contributing to the overall contemporary feel of Neuma Doors' patio and gliding door products.
Specific to their product lines, Neuma Doors may offer variations in hardware styles to cater to different architectural preferences. This can include options for single-point or multi-point locking systems, depending on the security and operational needs of the door configuration. The focus remains on providing hardware that enhances the functionality, security, and visual appeal of their exterior door solutions.

Construction and Materials
Neuma Doors offers a line of exterior patio doors designed for both aesthetic appeal and robust performance. These doors are engineered with a focus on durability, energy efficiency, and ease of maintenance, making them a practical choice for modern homes.
Construction and Materials
-
Frame Construction
The door frames are constructed from high-strength vinyl profiles. This material is chosen for its inherent resistance to warping, rotting, and corrosion, ensuring longevity even in challenging weather conditions. The multi-chambered design of the vinyl extrusions contributes to enhanced thermal insulation, reducing heat transfer and improving energy efficiency.
-
Sash Construction
The sashes, which hold the glass panels, are also typically made from reinforced vinyl. This provides structural integrity and supports the weight of the glass while maintaining good insulation properties. Internal reinforcement may be incorporated for added strength and stability.
-
Glass Options
Neuma Doors utilize insulated glass units (IGUs) as standard. These units consist of two or more panes of glass separated by a spacer, creating a sealed air or gas-filled space. This design significantly reduces heat loss and gain. Options for enhanced performance often include:
- Low-E (Low-Emissivity) coatings: These microscopic metallic layers reflect infrared light, further improving thermal performance.

Multi-point locking systems are commonly employed to secure the door at various points, enhancing security and preventing drafts.
-
Weatherstripping
Comprehensive weatherstripping is integrated into the frame and sash design. This consists of durable, flexible materials designed to create a tight seal, preventing air and water infiltration. This is crucial for maintaining indoor comfort and protecting against the elements.

In addition to the standard frame options, Neuma Doors may offer accessory frames or custom configurations to meet specific project requirements. These can include specialized sill options or custom frame depths to accommodate various wall constructions. For detailed specifications and availability of specific frame configurations, it is recommended to consult product literature or a Neuma Doors representative.
Glass Options
Neuma Doors offers a selection of glass options designed to enhance the aesthetics and functionality of their exterior patio doors. These options cater to various preferences for light control, privacy, and energy efficiency.
- Clear Glass: This is the standard glass option, providing unobstructed views and maximum natural light. It's ideal for those who want to connect their indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly.
- Obscure Glass: For enhanced privacy, Neuma Doors offers obscure glass options. This type of glass diffuses light, obscuring the view from the outside while still allowing natural light to enter. This is a popular choice for bathrooms or areas where increased privacy is desired.
-
Grids (Grilles): While not a type of glass itself, Neuma Doors provides options for decorative grids, also known as grilles, that can be installed between the panes of glass or on the surface. These add architectural detail and can create various traditional or modern looks for your patio doors. Available styles may include:
- Colonial Grids
- Contemporary Grids
- Other decorative patterns
- Low-E (Low-Emissivity) Coating: Many of Neuma Doors' glass options can be enhanced with a Low-E coating. This is a microscopically thin, transparent coating applied to the glass surface that reflects infrared light (heat). This means that in the summer, it helps keep heat out, reducing cooling costs, and in the winter, it helps keep heat in, reducing heating costs. This contributes to improved energy efficiency and comfort year-round.
- Tempered Glass: For safety and security, Neuma Doors' patio doors often come with tempered glass. Tempered glass is a type of safety glass that has been treated with heat or chemicals to increase its strength. If broken, it shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces, rather than sharp shards, reducing the risk of injury. This is a standard safety feature for exterior doors.
- Laminated Glass: In certain configurations or for enhanced security, laminated glass may be available. This type of glass consists of two or more layers of glass bonded together with an interlayer, typically polyvinyl butyral (PVB). If the glass breaks, the interlayer holds the pieces together, preventing shattering and providing an additional barrier against forced entry.
The specific availability of each glass type and grid pattern may vary depending on the door model and configuration chosen. It is recommended to consult the detailed product specifications for the specific Neuma Doors patio door model you are interested in to confirm the available glass options.

-
Standard Glass:
- Double-Pane Insulated Glass: All Pella Impervia doors come standard with double-pane insulated glass.

This design significantly improves thermal performance by reducing heat transfer, contributing to a more comfortable interior and lower energy bills.
-
Low-E Glass:

This option provides the aesthetic of divided lites while maintaining the ease of cleaning the exterior and interior surfaces of the glass. A variety of grid patterns are available to suit different architectural styles.
- Simulated Divided Light (SDL) Grids: This option creates the look of traditional muntins by applying bars to both the interior and exterior surfaces of the glass, with a spacer bar between the panes to simulate the depth of true divided lites. This offers a highly authentic appearance for historical renovations or classic designs.
-
Glass Packages for Enhanced Performance:
- Quietline® Sound Control Glass: While not explicitly detailed as a standalone package for the Impervia series on the primary product pages, Pella's broader offerings often include sound-dampening glass solutions.

Product Summary
Your entry door should have it all: beauty, strength, security, and energy efficiency. Our entry doors give you the features you are looking for, with a variety of options to customize the look of your door to reflect your home’s unique style.
Construction and Materials
Therma-Tru Doors are engineered with robust construction and quality materials to provide durable and aesthetically pleasing exterior entry solutions. The core of many Therma-Tru doors features a high-density polyurethane foam core, offering excellent insulation properties that contribute to energy efficiency and a comfortable interior environment. This foam core is typically encased in skins made from high-strength fiberglass or steel. Fiberglass doors provide resistance to denting, cracking, and rust, making them an ideal choice for various climates. Steel doors offer enhanced security and durability. Both options are often treated with protective coatings and primers to ensure longevity and readiness for finishing.
The construction also incorporates a composite or wood stile and rail system, which provides structural integrity and a framework for the door panel. These components are designed to be durable and resistant to warping. For doors with glass lites, Therma-Tru utilizes insulated glass units (IGUs) that consist of two or more panes of glass separated by a spacer. This construction minimizes heat transfer and reduces condensation. Decorative glass options may feature intricate designs created using various techniques such as etching, beveling, and the application of caming, which holds the glass pieces together.
Key Construction and Material Features:
- Core Material: High-density polyurethane foam for superior insulation and energy efficiency.
- Surface Skins: Available in high-strength fiberglass (resistant to dents, cracks, and rust) or steel (for enhanced security and durability).
- Stile and Rail: Composite or wood construction providing structural integrity and warp resistance.
- Glass Lites: Insulated glass units (IGUs) with multiple panes and a spacer for thermal performance.
- Decorative Glass: Options incorporating etched, beveled, or leaded designs for aesthetic appeal.

The construction and materials employed in TM Cobb doors are focused on durability, performance, and visual appeal.
While specific construction details may vary across their extensive product lines, common materials and assembly methods utilized in exterior doors generally include:
- Door Slab Construction:
- Wood Doors: Many of TM Cobb's wood doors are crafted from premium hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or pine. These woods are known for their natural beauty, strength, and ability to be stained or painted to match various home styles. Construction can involve solid wood panels or engineered wood cores for enhanced stability and resistance to warping.
- Composite Doors: For increased durability and low maintenance, composite doors are often constructed with materials like fiberglass or steel. Fiberglass doors mimic the look of wood with detailed grain patterns while offering superior resistance to dents, rot, and corrosion. Steel doors provide robust security and are often insulated for improved energy efficiency.
- Glass Panes: For doors featuring glass, such as French or patio doors, high-performance glass options are typically used. This can include double-pane or triple-pane insulated glass units (IGUs) for enhanced thermal performance and noise reduction. Options for tempered glass are also available for safety and security. Decorative glass or Low-E coatings may be incorporated to further improve efficiency and aesthetics.
- Frame Construction:
- Exterior door frames are commonly constructed from durable wood species like pine or hardwoods, or from weather-resistant materials such as composite wood or vinyl. Frames are designed to provide a secure and tight seal against the elements, protecting the interior from drafts, moisture, and pests.
- Hardware and Components:
- Doors are fitted with robust hardware, including hinges, locks, and handles, designed for long-term operation and security. The materials for hardware can range from solid brass to stainless steel, chosen for their corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal.

Frame Options
TM Cobb offers a variety of frame options for their exterior doors, designed to complement the style of your home and provide durable, long-lasting performance.
The primary frame materials available include:
- Wood: TM Cobb is renowned for its expertise in wood doors. They offer a selection of premium wood species for their frames, providing a classic and customizable aesthetic. The specific wood species available may vary, but common options for high-quality exterior doors often include Mahogany, Knotty Alder, and Douglas Fir. These wood frames can be stained or painted to match your home's exterior color scheme and architectural style. Wood frames offer excellent insulation properties and can be easily repaired or refinished if needed.
- Composites/Engineered Materials: For enhanced durability and resistance to the elements, TM Cobb also provides frames constructed from composite or engineered wood materials. These materials are designed to mimic the appearance of natural wood while offering superior performance in terms of moisture resistance, stability, and reduced maintenance. These options are ideal for homeowners seeking the beauty of wood without the same level of upkeep.
In addition to material choices, frame profiles and constructions are also important considerations. While specific details may depend on the door style (e.g., entry door, French door, patio door), TM Cobb typically emphasizes:
- Robust Construction: Frames are engineered for strength and stability to support the weight of the door and withstand operational use and environmental factors.
- Weather Resistance: Frames are designed with features to prevent water infiltration and air leakage, contributing to energy efficiency and the longevity of the door system. This often includes robust sealing and drainage considerations.
- Customization Options: Depending on the product line, TM Cobb may offer various frame widths and depths to accommodate different wall thicknesses and aesthetic preferences. They also often provide options for pre-hung doors, where the door slab is already installed within the frame for easier installation.
For specific frame options available for a particular door model, it is recommended to consult the product details on the TM Cobb website or contact a TM Cobb representative. The choices in frame material and construction directly influence the door's appearance, performance, and maintenance requirements, allowing homeowners to select a solution that best meets their needs.
Glass Options
TM Cobb offers a diverse range of glass options for their exterior doors, designed to enhance both aesthetics and functionality. These selections cater to various needs, from privacy and energy efficiency to decorative appeal and enhanced safety.
The primary categories of glass available include:
- Clear Glass: This is the standard option, providing maximum visibility and allowing natural light to flood into your home. It's a versatile choice that complements any architectural style.
- Obscure Glass: Designed for privacy, obscure glass options limit visibility while still permitting light to pass through. This is ideal for areas where a greater degree of seclusion is desired, such as bathrooms or side entrances. TM Cobb offers several types of obscure glass, including:
- Textured patterns that distort clear views.
- Frosted finishes that create a translucent barrier.
- Decorative Glass: For a touch of personality and artistic flair, TM Cobb provides decorative glass inserts. These can feature various designs, bevels, and caming options to add unique character to your entryway. Popular decorative styles often include:
- Beveled glass elements that refract light beautifully.
- Stained glass-inspired designs for a classic look.
- Etched patterns for a subtle, sophisticated detail.
- Energy-Efficient Glass: TM Cobb understands the importance of energy conservation. Many of their glass options can be enhanced with features that improve thermal performance. This often involves:
- Double-pane (Insulated Glass Units - IGUs): Two panes of glass separated by a sealed space, which can be filled with air or inert gas to reduce heat transfer.
- Low-E (Low-Emissivity) Coatings: These microscopic coatings reflect radiant heat, keeping homes cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
- Gas Fills: Inert gases like Argon or Krypton can be injected into the space between glass panes to further improve insulating properties.
- Safety and Security Glass: For enhanced safety, TM Cobb offers options like tempered glass and laminated glass.
- Tempered Glass: This glass is treated through a process of rapid heating and cooling, making it significantly stronger than standard glass. When it breaks, it shatters into small, blunt pieces, reducing the risk of injury.
- Laminated Glass: Composed of two or more layers of glass bonded together with a plastic interlayer (often PVB). If broken, the glass fragments adhere to the interlayer, maintaining the integrity of the pane and preventing it from shattering. This also offers improved sound insulation and UV protection.
The specific availability of these glass options may vary depending on the particular door style and configuration chosen. Customers are encouraged to consult product specifications for detailed information on glass types applicable to their selected TM Cobb exterior door.

TM Cobb Patio Doors (French & Sliding)
