If you’re not familiar with the Fiberglass Doors you can imagine that they are doors that uses fiber glass instead of real glass crystal or windows. Fiber glass is a type of glass made from fibers and is quite strong and durable. However, the advantages and disadvantages of fiberglass doors are the usage and quality from which you should expect.
In general, fiberglass is does not have a crystal sparkle such as regular glass. It however, appears like plastic with a smudge look. After cleaning and usage of most fiberglass windows or doors you’ll notice more scratches and noticeable wear as a opposed to glass.
In which cases do you need a fiberglass door you might ask. Below are some examples of doors that use fiberglass. As you can see they are like normal doors but use fiberglass.

I just came across your post about fiberglass doors and thought I should reply. When refering to a “Fiberglass” door, it’s actually the material that the door itself is made of that is fiberglass. Not the window. The glass used as accent in the door you’ve shown is normal glass, probably UV protected, and a combination of Glue Chip and Etched. The Fiberglass manufacturers you’ve listed are all indeed Fiberglass Door manufacturers, and if you check on there websites you’ll get all the info you need on their construction.
Just to clarify, so someone reading this isn’t confused.
Cheers,
Susan
