Question from lori

Hi Debra,

Both fiberglass and steel doors have a solid polyurethane foam core, is this safe if it is contained within the door?

And most of the doors come primed, should it be re-primed with safe materials. What would you recommend?

Thank you so much.

Debra’s Answer

I have a steel exterior door and I can tell you there is no odor at all. The interior material is completely contained and the exterior finish is baked on. I have also painted this door and had no problems. The pain adhered to the finish beautifully.

I don’t have any experience with fiberglass doors. Readers?
