Ever wondered how a fiberglass entry door stands up to Ontario’s wild weather while elevating your home’s curb appeal? At EcoTech Windows & Doors, we blend advanced technology with skilled local craftsmanship to build doors that thrive in -30°C winters in Sudbury, humid summers in Toronto, and everything in between. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we craft energy-efficient, long-lasting entry doors – right here in Ontario!
Step 1: A Strong Foundation with High-Performance Materials
Every EcoTech fiberglass entry door begins as an idea – shaped by homeowner needs, architectural trends, and our commitment to energy efficiency and takes form through advanced design software that allows our dedicated Product Specialists to craft custom profiles, decorative glass layouts, and multi-point lock compatibilities.
We start with a premium fiberglass slab, engineered to resist warping, denting, cracking, and rust – far outperforming traditional wood or composite doors, which are vulnerable to rot and dents. Though fiberglass is technically a composite (made from fine glass fibers and resins), not all composite doors are fiberglass.
At EcoTech, we choose fiberglass specifically for its proven durability in Ontario’s demanding climate, including freeze-thaw cycles, summer humidity, and road salt exposure. With a high-performance polyurethane core for superior insulation, a lifespan of up to 30 years, inclusive warranties, and minimal maintenance needs, fiberglass is a smart, long-term investment in comfort, energy efficiency, and peace of mind.
Step 2: Precision Forms & Cutting That are Tailored for Ontario Homes
Raw fiberglass is molded into durable door slabs using high-pressure compression techniques, creating a strong, weather-resistant foundation that won’t swell, warp, or corrode like wood or other materials. Once formed, these slabs are transferred to our CNC (computer-guided) cutting stations, where laser-guided tools create exact openings for multi-point locks, handles, and glass inserts.
Hinges and other accessory spaces are finished by hand to ensure accuracy. This blend of precision technology and hands-on craftsmanship allows EcoTech to accommodate Ontario’s most popular hardware options while delivering a tight, air-sealed fit that is crucial for energy efficiency, as up to 25% of a home’s heat loss can occur through doors (Natural Resources Canada).
With a lifespan of over 30 years and minimal maintenance, our fiberglass entry doors are built for lasting performance and savings.
Step 3: Quality Assurance That Exceeds Ontario-Tough Standards
Before finishing, each fiberglass entry door undergoes a meticulous quality control inspection under high-intensity LED lighting. Our team examines every slab for surface defects, edge alignment, texture consistency, and structural integrity – even sanding or filling microscopic imperfections to ensure flawless results.
In 2024, this rigorous process helped us achieve a 99.32% defect-free rate, exceeding industry standards and meeting Ontario’s strict building performance requirements.
Step 4: Eco-Friendly Finishing That Is Climate-Resistant & Beautiful
Next, the exterior fiberglass doors enter our climate-controlled finishing stations, where we apply low-VOC, eco-friendly coatings that are UV-resistant, moisture-repellent, and salt-spray tested – perfect for everything from lakeside cottages in Muskoka to sun-soaked homes in Southern Ontario.
These durable finishes often maintain their vibrancy for over a decade. Homeowners can choose from over 50 factory-finished colours, including Ontario-inspired tones, all curated to complement local landscapes and architectural styles.
Step 5: Energy-Smart Assembly That Is Built for Comfort
Once painted, each exterior fiberglass door is assembled with insulated decorative glass inserts, reinforced frames, multi-point locking systems, and premium weatherstripping.
These components work together to meet ENERGY STAR® Canada certification standards, helping Ontario homeowners reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 15% (Ontario Energy Board, 2023). Our fiberglass doors also feature integrated thermal breaks that prevent cold transfer from exterior to interior surfaces – keeping your entryway warm, efficient, and comfortable through every season.
Step 6: Local Delivery – Ontario-Wide in Days
After final packaging, finished exterior fiberglass doors ship from our warehouse. We can deliver throughout Ontario within a few business days of assembly – from GTA homes to lakeside cottages in Muskoka or retirement bungalows in Windsor.
