Since 1994, Plastpro has always believed in providing a superior product with the best value, technology, and commitment to our customers. Our fiberglass doors offer the beauty and versatility of wood doors, but are strong like steel doors. Wood and steel doors have been preferred in the industry, but both come with problems such as: rotting, rusting, and weather damage. Our fiberglass doors are the best solution and are not susceptible to weather damage, require less maintenance, and offer higher performance ratings. We’ve introduced the first door with composite stiles and rails, HydroShield Technology, and composite Polyfiber (PF) Frames to the industry. Our doors feature a full length LVL block that provides stronger rigidity and a range of door locks and hardware to be installed for increased security. We carry a wide variety of designs, sizes, and styles that are bound to complement everyone’s home.
Since the beginning, we’ve not only been committed to providing superior products, but also in creating opportunities. Our goal is to create positive changes for not only our employees and customers, but also for our community. We believe in doing good for the world and making a difference. For us, success is only as good as the good it creates. We’ve continuously partnered with Habitat for Humanity in order to create affordable, green houses for low-income families across the nation. We’ve donated more than 500 doors to various chapters of Habitat for Humanity and other non-profit organizations.
