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.
