high gloss white fibreglass doors

technical details

High gloss white fibreglass doors come in many design, due to the method of construction which is to mould the door rather than to press into a shape, these doors have the greatest attention to detail. The doors come with a clear gel coat which give a very high gloss definition.

Available in 3 qualities of fibreglass. Lightweight doors are constructed from the fibreglass panel, which then has a steel bracing applied to the back of the door. Sometime only available in standard sizes, but also from Wessex Mouldings at non standard sizes. Suitable for many applications but not recommended for high wind area or heavy use.

medium duty doors

Medium duty doors have the same face panel, but have layers of fibreglass over the steel bracing to increase the strength of the door panel.

heavy duty doors

Heavy duty doors also have the same face panel, and have even more of the extra layers of fibreglass over the steel bracing and have a smooth flow coating over the back of the door panel.
