How to Keep Your Home Cooler This Summer with an Energy-Efficient Door | Plastpro Inc

As summer temperatures rise, your energy bill doesn’t have to. One of the easiest ways to boost your home’s energy efficiency and comfort—especially in the heat—is by upgrading your front door. At Plastpro, we design fiberglass entry doors that help minimize heat transfer while maintaining the durability and style today’s homeowners expect.

Here’s how our doors help you stay cool and save energy this summer.

1. High-Density Polyurethane Core for Maximum Insulation

Plastpro fiberglass doors feature a high-performance polyurethane foam core, which provides up to six times more insulation than traditional wood doors. This core significantly reduces the amount of heat that enters or escapes your home—keeping your indoor temperatures more stable and your air conditioning from working overtime.

2. Energy-Efficient Glass Options

Love the look of glass but worried about added heat? Plastpro offers Energy Star®-qualified glass inserts designed to bring in natural light without bringing in the summer heat. Our energy-efficient glass features:

  • Low-E (low emissivity) coatings that reflect infrared heat
  • Dual- or triple-pane construction to improve insulation
  • Thermal barriers that help prevent heat gain

These advanced glass technologies help reduce solar heat gain, keeping your entryway bright but cool.

3. Tight Seals That Prevent Air Leaks

Energy efficiency isn’t just about materials—it’s about construction. Plastpro doors are engineered with precise seals and weatherstripping that minimize air leakage. This means your cooled indoor air stays inside, and the hot outdoor air stays out—helping you maintain a comfortable environment with less energy use.

4. Durability That Withstands Heat and Humidity

Unlike traditional wood, Plastpro’s fiberglass doors won’t warp, crack, or swell in extreme heat or humidity. Our doors are moisture-resistant and low maintenance, making them ideal for warm, humid climates and summer weather conditions.

5. Energy Savings That Add Up

By reducing thermal transfer, Plastpro fiberglass doors help lessen the workload on your HVAC system, leading to lower cooling costs over time. It’s a small change that can have a big impact—not just on your comfort, but on your utility bills.

Upgrade Your Entryway with Energy Efficiency in Mind

This summer, invest in a front door that’s built to perform. Whether you prefer a modern glass design or a classic woodgrain texture, Plastpro doors offer the perfect blend of beauty, performance, and energy savings.
