TAYLOR The Taylorwood Door combines a 22-gauge, high-definition-embossed steel exterior with the benefits of a real wood interior. Wood interior veneers are offered in oak, mahogany, cherry and knotty-pine with optional real wood raised mouldings to match the exterior embossment appearance.

MASONITE The AvantGuard finishing technique developed by Masonite is designed to fuse the natural appearance of real wood to composite materials. The finish is created by first selecting the most beautiful lumber, then going through a series of processes to capture every color and grain variation within the boards. These "photographs" are then placed in perfect alignment on an energy-efficient, low-maintenance pre-textured fiberglass door. Lastly, the wood appearance is protected by a clear-coating that provides up to five years of maintenance-free use. The technique, which can be used to replicate the appearance of any wood, metal, or other material, is being introduced with a Spanish Cedar finish available on select Barrington Sierra doors and sidelites. 800/663-3667 \| www.Masonite.com

GORELL EZ-glass is an option from Gorell Windows & Doors featuring a special “built-in” transparent coating, that is so smooth it doesn’t hold on to most dirt. The coating uses the sun’s ultraviolet rays and water to slowly decompose and loosen organic dirt that does adhere to the glass, and then rinse it away. Water droplets spread out instead of beading to more effectively rinse the dirt away. This “sheeting” action also accelerates drying time, meaning less spotting and streaking. The attribute is highly durable and will function for years, as it is an integral part of the glass. 724/465-1800 \| www.gorell.com
