Elevate Swinging French Door

A strong alternative to vinyl, our Ultrex^® pultruded fiberglass exterior finish is applied through a patented process to provide a superior, consistent finish. The American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) awards certifications to materials that pass numerous, rigorous tests. These tests simulate the harsh conditions that a finish will encounter throughout the life of the window or door. Passing these specification tests and achieving AAMA 624 verification gives independent verification that the Ultrex finish is best in class among fiberglass products.

Built for durability and low-maintenance, our Ultrex finish is 3x thicker than competitive finishes, with a smooth consistency and strong finish that resists fading, chalking, peeling, and cracking, even in the darkest colors. If a design change calls for a new color down the road, our material can be painted without voiding our warranty. Six colors are available in neutral and dark tones.

Finish samples are approximate and colors on screen can vary. Visit your local dealer to see actual color samples.

The Elevate collection features rich wood interiors in bare pine that can be stained to match your interiors, or finished in our factory with popular designer black painted interior finish, clear coat, or painted white. Factory finishing means you can expect consistent quality and aesthetics that come from our carefully perfected finishing process.

Door handles for our Elevate collection are available in two distinct hardware collections: the Cambridge Collection or the Northfield Collection. Finishes in Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, and Satin Nickel are available with a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) finish, meaning the hardware has undergone a process that adds a layer of toughness to resist fading and discoloration by direct sunlight, humidity, and most other environmental factors, even in coastal areas. Choose exterior and interior handle colors in either a color that matches, complements or contrasts with the exterior color and the interior finish of your door.

Energy Efficiency

Glass is an important aspect for managing the energy efficiency of your home. Our standard glazing is dual pane: two panes of glass with Low-E coatings and argon insulating gas. We offer variations to help meet climate and code requirements across the country, described in more detail on our glass page.

Specialty Glass Options

Our specialty glass options include glass for unique project needs like sound management (STC/OITC), high altitudes, Sea Turtle Conservation Codes and California fire zones. We also offer laminated glass in products designed specifically for hurricane zones.

The sloped sill is made from durable Ultrex^® fiberglass for a long-lasting performance. An integrated weep and drainage system allows for proper drainage. Choose from Beige or Bronze color options.​

Screens for the Elevate product line feature a durable, low maintenance aluminum surround and Marvin Bright View™ mesh – a fiberglass screen mesh that provides improved airflow and more natural light while keeping insects out. Bright View repels water and resists dirt and grime for a sharp, vivid view.

A stainable wood surround is also available to match your wood interiors.

For cohesive curb appeal, all exterior screens are available in colors to match Ultrex^® fiberglass window and door exteriors.

The look of multiple, individual panes of glass is popular in a wide range of architectural styles. Simulated divided lites and grilles between the glass mimic the look of these individual panes of glass without sacrificing energy efficiency.

Grilles-between-the-Glass (GBGs)

Grilles are permanently installed between the glass panes for low-maintenance and easy cleaning. Choose from six exterior colors and three interior colors.

Simulated Divided Lite (SDL)

An energy-efficient way to create the look of divided lites, SDL bars are permanently adhered to both sides of the glass.

Simulated Divided Lite with Spacer Bar (SDLS)

Paired with SDL bars on the exterior of the glass, a spacer bar is installed between the glass, creating an even closer match to the Authentic Divided Lite look.

Choose from simulated divided lites or grilles between the glass in a selection of pre-designed patterns for added character. These are examples of some of our most popular patterns.

Get the performance of Ultrex^® fiberglass in convenient, factory-cut exterior trim made for easy installation and superior performance over time. Exterior trim is available in colors to match our exterior window finish, and several trim styles. Choose flat-style for a clean, simple look or brick mould-style for a more traditional aesthetic.
