Installation Problems to Avoid with your Door Replacement

I. Doors that are improperly installed cause major issues


You can buy the best door brand you can find in the market. However, it won’t mean much if the door isn’t installed by experts.


Preview Construction door installers have a solid reputation with homeowners and house builders in Texas to do the job right.

II. Poor Door Installation 


Besides training and certification, door installers need to pay attention to every detail. Therma-Tru® doors feature components engineered to work together. However, poor installation can lead to failures in the most critical door points. Your Therma-Tru® door system can fail due to improper installation and start letting in moisture. 


A door that isn’t secured properly around the perimeter will have a lot of movement and come out of adjustment over time. Seasoned door installers like those at Preview Construction ensure they fit and seal doors perfectly to prevent leaks, drafts, misalignment, etc. which prevents deterioration and costly damage.


Moisture can cause mold problems, damage your floor and door. Drafts can also compromise the energy efficiency of a Therma-Tru® door when air gets in/leaves freely.

III. Void Warranty


Therma-Tru® stands behind everything that makes up their door systems. The doors come with a limited lifetime warranty which is a longer and better guarantee than what most door manufacturers are offering today. However, if doors aren't installed as per the strict guidelines, the warranty can be voided. Something as small as using the wrong sealant or hiring an installer who isn’t trained can render a warranty void.


To avoid such issues, buy Therma-Tru Doors and have them installed by true experts or risk being left without coverage when your door fails prematurely.


The Therma-Tru® brand believes in proper installation as they believe in their door systems. This is precisely why they guarantee reimbursement eligibility for homeowners who have their doors installed by trained Therma-Tru® door system installers.


While there are other common Therma-Tru® door installation problems, they can be avoided by hiring trained Therma-Tru® door installers like Preview Construction. 


Jason – Co-owner, Preview Construction, is involved in every Therma-Tru® door installation. His hands-on approach complemented by a project manager for every project ensures all door installation problems are preempted and solved. Schedule a FREE consultation today!

Who are Therma-Tru® Doors?


Therma-Tru is undoubtedly a leading manufacturer of fiberglass and steel exterior doors in the United States. The brand boasts of being the most preferred brand for entry doors among building professionals.


Why Install a Therma-Tru® Door? What Makes Therma-Tru Doors Stand Out?


Most Preferred Entry Brand: Therma-Tru doors are arguably the most preferred entry doors by most building professionals for the past 20+ years. The brand has been in business for 55+ years now and boasts of a proven track record on reliability and integrity. 


Superior Door Design: The doors feature a complete system with components designed to work together perfectly at every critical point. This design makes it harder for the doors to fail where ordinary door systems fail. Most importantly, the door design keep evolving to meet new market trends.


Realistic Wood Grain. Perfect Wood Door Alternative: Therma-Tru doors are perfect for homeowners looking for a real wood appearance indistinguishable from actual high-grade wooden doors. This benefit is attributed to Therma-Tru's proprietary AccuGrain Technology that offers a virtually indistinguishable real wood look and feel. Most importantly, they don't have the cons of real wood. Therma-Tru doors require little maintenance. The fiberglass doors offer unmatched beauty, energy efficiency, and durability, all in one. Unlike wood, they won't warp or rot, and unlike steel, the doors won't rust or dent.


Superior Lifetime Limited Warranty: Therma-Tru has so much confidence in the doors they have made that they offer a limited lifetime warranty covering the doors, glass, and just about every component.


Unmatched Door Style and Glass Design Variety: Therma-Tru has a door that will match any home style and price point. The glass designs are also vast and handcrafted to match home design trends and a homeowner’s desire.


Interactive Tools: Therma-Tru is among the few door brands that offer vast interactive online tools to help you see exactly how your door will look.


Energy-Efficient Door: Therma-Tru doors are designed to prevent energy loss. This ensures home comfort and lowers heating/cooling bills. The doors feature a polyurethane core that offers added insulation for unmatched energy efficiency. The doors also feature energy-efficient glass (triple-pane) to reduce heat transfer. Options like low-E glass offer exceptional energy efficiency.


Unmatched Safety: The doors have been designed to prevent break-ins. You can count on Therma-Tru doors to keep your family safe.


Custom Door Design: Clients can get customized Therma-Tru doors that match their unique tastes and preferences.



Curb Appeal Benefits: Therma-Tru doors are worth the investment and bound to increase your home's perceived value by a record 4.2% or $18,750. In fact, the ROI of stylish new Therma-Tru entry doors can be twice the actual investment. The doors look so good that potential home buyers don't mind paying more.
