December 2007

An old wooden door in a brick and block masonry house needed to be replaced. Here is the "before" picture.

ThermaTru Doors

  • ThermaTru door systems completely seal the entry way eliminating transfer of heat and cold.
  • A solid polyurethane foam core provides five times the insulating value of comparable wood doors and often doubles the R-Value of most polystyrene core steel doors.
  • Plus, your home will be much quieter inside.
  • Therma-Tru was named the top-rated fiberglass door maker by Consumer Reports.

Project Cost

  • Through the end of 2007, a federal tax credit was available for purchasing ENERGY STAR doors. The credit was 10 percent of the cost (not including installation) up to $500.
  • This door cost the customer $1437 so he would get a tax credit of $143.
  • The installation cost was $1555, including a custom staining of inside and outside door surfaces to look like cherry wood.
