A beautiful front door makes an immediate impression. How it is built becomes just as important over the years.

On June 2, 2026, JELD-WEN introduced its Curator Collection of fiberglass entry doors, bringing attention to a construction issue homeowners rarely consider when choosing a new entrance: delamination.

What Is Changing Inside the Door?

Delamination is the separation of bonded materials within a door. JELD-WEN’s answer is FortiTec Assembly, a manufacturing process that joins the materials in a single step. According to the company, this approach reduces the risk of separation and creates a more consistent structure.

The innovation is largely hidden from view. Its purpose is to improve the construction behind the finished surface.

A Wood-Look Finish for the Front Entrance

Curator features grain patterns taken from real wood. For homeowners considering a traditional entrance, that makes the collection an interesting example of how manufacturing technology and familiar architectural style can work together.

A door’s appearance is only one part of the decision, however. The exact model, finish requirements, warranty and installation details deserve attention alongside its design.

What This Means for a Door Replacement

Our takeaway is straightforward: ask how a door is constructed, not just how it looks in a showroom.

Curator is offered in select locations, so availability should be confirmed before planning a project. At Alex & Family LLC, we follow developments like this because a successful upgrade begins with choosing an appropriate product for the home.
