Strata™ Technology

Every Aurora® Doors custom fiberglass door begins as two detailed fiberglass skins, which are created in molds made from our IWP® custom wood doors. These skins are made with our exclusive Strata™ technology, which incorporates multiple layers of resins, tinted resins, base colors and reinforcing materials for greater structural strength. Next, the skins are adhered to engineered wood frames with our exclusive core materials and bonding agents that permanently lock the skin to the frame. The skins are not only durable but also authentic in appearance.

THE CORE

In the fiberglass door industry, our PolyMicro™ foam core technology is a first. It not only gives each door a dense, solid feeling, but the unique core material also prevents the skin from delaminating. The core is permanently bonded to the skins and frame, so it becomes an integral part of the structure, which keeps the door from warping.

PREFINISHING

For lasting beauty, each door is made with the Permalane™ prefinishing system. During this comprehensive process, layers of specially formulated grain filler and UV-protective stain coats are applied. These stain coats are encapsulated in the final protective top coat, which is created to withstand extreme environments. Our skilled artisans control airflow, temperature and humidity throughout the entire process for an exceptional finish that will protect and enhance the beauty of our doors.
