Frequently Asked
Questions about this project
What is a Therma-Tru Smooth-Star full lite outswing exterior door?+
Therma-Tru Smooth-Star is a fiberglass exterior door series with a smooth, paint-ready surface. The full lite design means the door includes a large glass panel that runs nearly the full height of the door, maximizing natural light. The outswing configuration means the door swings outward, which is common for exterior patio and side entry doors.
How does a full lite exterior door improve natural light?+
Full lite exterior doors feature a large glass insert that allows significantly more daylight into the home than traditional paneled or smaller-lite doors. This brightens the entry area, improves indoor-outdoor visibility, and creates a more open, welcoming feel while still providing a secure exterior-rated door system.
How long does an exterior door replacement take in Lafayette, CA?+
Most Lafayette exterior door replacements are completed in a single day, including removal of the old door, rough opening preparation, installation of the new Therma-Tru outswing door system, weatherstripping, hardware setup, and final operation adjustment.
What warranty comes with this Therma-Tru Smooth-Star installation?+
Therma-Tru Smooth-Star doors carry the manufacturer's product and finish warranty, and AMG Doors & Windows backs every installation with our 15-year workmanship warranty for long-term peace of mind.
