Avant Guard Premium Series
First Choice's Avant Guard series is the ideal fusion of wood and fiberglass. Some would call a beautiful wood door with little or no maintenance a dream. We call it Avant Guard and unlike any other door, it perfectly blends beauty and durability into one patented package by combining the aesthetics of wood with the durability of fiberglass.
Benefits:
- Authentic graining is what makes Avant Guard superior in its appearance. Rather than simply applying stain over a textured fiberglass facing, an image layer is applied to a protective primer layer and is an authentic reproduction of the original master in either Spanish Cedar or Black Walnut.
- Ultimate durability is provided through five layers of defense, we use:
- an automotive type clear coat which protects the door from UV rays and normal wear and tear.
- a UV stable image layer is used to provide real wood aesthetics.
- a protective base coat provides stability and adhesion between the image layer and the low-maintenance fiberglass facing.
- our exclusive formula of fiberglass is more stable when subjected to temperature swings.
- Polyurethane foam insulates your home and adheres the door components together.
