FiberStar & Steel Door Features

Fiberglass Door Features

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.

Environmentally Sound Polyurethane Foam Core

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.

Door Jambs

HOME GUARD’s Exclusive Timberframe® all-composite frame offers all the beauty of wood with none of the headaches. Completely maintenance and worry free, the Timberframe® will not warp, rot, mold or wick water and can be stained to match all HGI door stains. Timberframe® is an option on most HOME GUARD doors.

Duraframe Jambs are the standard wood frame on all HGI doors and are constructed using an Alaskan Cypress base which repels water preventing the wood from wicking and rotting.

Our exclusive steel “L” frame provides the next measure of security adding strength to your entrance. This crucial element is available on all HGI replacement doors and our adjustable strike plate makes installation easy on every door upgrade.

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.
