Masonite International Corp. announced the Masonite Performance Door System, an exterior door system that is designed to be 64 percent better at keeping air and water out than the leading competitor, based on certified third-party testing, according to a news release.
"The new Masonite Performance Door System is proven to withstand the elements and is backed by a 10-year limited full-replacement warranty,” says Chris Ball, president, global residential. “This means builders and homeowners can be confident that their Masonite door will keep air and water out, while adding value and beauty to the home.”
The Masonite Performance Door System features the company’s 4-Point Performance Seal, which includes Premium Square Edge Fiberglass Doors, Endura Products’ Z- Articulating Cap Sill, PE650 Weatherstripping, Simple Solution Corner Pads and FrameSaver rot-proof door frame. Optional upgrades include Endura’s PanoLock or Trilennium multipoint locks and FusionFrame. The system is offered with all Masonite exterior fiberglass doors, which are available in a variety of styles, colors and finishes, including multiple glass options.
The system will also be offered with three new Shaker-style recessed panel designs, Lincoln Park, Logan, and Winslow Flush Glazed, available for order beginning July 15. These designs complement the Masonite interior doors with the same names.
The Masonite Performance Door System is currently offered by select Masonite distributors, with additional distributor and dealer availability expected later this year.
