Therma-Tru Introduces Variety of New Door and Glass Options at 2014 NAHB International Builders’ Show®

MAUMEE, OHIO – Attendees at the 2014 NAHB International Builders’ Show® will be the first in the country to view new products launched by Therma-Tru Corp. for 2014. An assortment of new doors, features and glass styles are being offered to provide builders and remodelers with enhanced options for increasing their business.

Located in booth C6108 at the trade show in Las Vegas from February 4-6, 2014, the Therma-Tru exhibit includes an expansion of the Pulse® and Fiber-Classic® Mahogany CollectionTM product lines, redesign of internal blinds with Low-E glass and expanded options for simulated divided lites and grilles between the glass. A new camber top glass shape, more decorative glass options and an improved formula for the Same-Day® Stain and topcoat will also be launched at the show.

"Every new product option being introduced by Therma-Tru in 2014 positively impacts builders and remodelers working to meet consumer demands in the marketplace," says Mark Savan, president of Therma-Tru Doors. “With the immediate popularity last year of Pulse contemporary doors we have moved forward to introduce a Mahogany grain option and new style. And, we're responding to builder and remodeler requests for more door glass features by enhancing our selection of simulated divided lites, grilles between glass and easy-use internal blinds."

For more than 50 years Therma-Tru has specialized in providing aesthetically-pleasing, award-winning door options and entrance solutions from a single supplier. "A Therma-Tru® door with genuine Therma-Tru parts is more than just a beautiful door; it's a complete door system," says Savan. "Our doors offer uncompromising quality inside and out. By manufacturing or specifying every aspect of the complete door system --- including door panel, glass and components --- to a high quality standard, we create a reliable, dependable door system backed by the industry's most comprehensive warranty."*
