What are the advantages of fibreglass over wood and steel?

Unlike wood doors, fibreglass won’t dent, crack, split or splinter. Unlike steel doors, fibreglass won’t dent, rust or warp, either. Fibreglass also resists shrinking and swelling with temperature changes, allowing the finish to last three times longer than on a wood door. The solid polyurethane foam core offers five times greater insulation value than wood doors.
