CLIMATE CONTROL: Made of fiberglass-reinforced polyester, these doors are ideal for high-humidity environments near pool and spa areas. Unlike metal or wood, doors won’t rust, corrode, crack, split, or peel, the company says. The doors feature SpecLite 3 face sheets, which are designed to resist scratches. The face sheets are available in nine standard colors: beige, boysenberry, dark bronze, Hartford green, light grey, military blue, sandstone, seawolf, and slate grey.
