Home Guard FiberStarTM Fiberglass Doors are beautifully designed with patented HydroshieldTM technology. This revolutionary system ensures that water is repelled from the perimeter of the door to eliminate twisting or warping.

While some other fiberglass door manufacturers still use HCFC-free foam, we are proud to offer a truly “green” door which is completely CFC-free in compliance with the U.S. environmental standards to prevent destruction to the Earth’s ozone layer. The advanced polyurethane core used in our doors also enhances the door’s soundproofing capabilities and provides insulation properties six times greater than wood.

Natural Fiberglass Grains
The beauty of natural wood, improved.
HGI’s Signature Door Series features a patented grain technology process that authentically replicates any natural surface. The door process begins by hand, selecting the most desirable wood pieces which are then used to build a real wood door. A silicone casting accurately picks up the finest details of the wood grain which are transferred to the door mold using our Nickel Vapor Deposition Technology. The resulting mold is utilized to produce the fiberglass skin of each Signature Series door. The result is a breathtaking reproduction with random grain depths and all the natural characteristics of natural wood, but free from the warping, bowing, delamination and moisture issues that plague real wood doors. Born from real wood but vastly improved upon by state-of-the-art technology. The best of both worlds: HGI Signature Series Doors.
