By the way, fiberglass doors require a gel stain if you are going to stain
it. Forget minwax gel stain on a Pella door. It works poorly. Use google
to search for fiberglass door stain and you will find all kinds of comments
from this and other groups. But stay away from minwax on a Pella door.
Also I used a water based exterior polyurethane and so far it is holding up
well.

SWMBO has decreed that front door must be replaced with a fiberglass one.
After I don't know how many hours shopping for one she has narrowed it
down to 3 different brands and styles. Knowing absolutely nothing about
these doors and finding very little of any use on the web except
manufacturers/vendors ramblings and a few bitter homeowners comments, I
decided to place the question to you. Are there any known problems or
support issues with the following: Pella, Therma-Tru or Benchmark by
Thermatru? The price of all are very similar and to my untrained eye the
doors appear very similar. I would appreciate any and all constructive
comments.
Thanks to everyone the replied. Now off to the stores to let the boss
pick out which one she wants. Thanks again for the insight.
