Or the longest time, homeowners have been using solid wood as exterior doors. Wood doors are classic, but because they are constantly exposed to various types of weather, they are prone to bowing, rotting, and developing cracks and splits over time. This is exactly the reason why fiberglass exterior doors were invented. When they were first introduced to the public back in the late 1990's the first models of fiberglass exterior doors, which are somewhat similar to that of a boat's fiberglass bottom, failed to attract the attention of homeowners who were still used to seeing wood doors in most homes.  Fiberglass doors only ainsley to popularity when they were reinvented to look like traditional hard wood doors. These fiberglass doors have taken the look of wood, some even having realistic wood grained patterns that can easily fool someone into thinking that they are looking at an actual wooden door. Today, millions of homeowners get to enjoy the look of real wood as well as experience the many advantages of fiberglass exterior doors.
