Tiger Doors, Frames, and Sashes are the problem-solving products of choice for demanding professional architects, engineers, owners, and contractors worldwide. No other wood, steel, aluminum, or composite product offers the combination of strength, beauty, and endurance embodied in a Tiger Door. It has taken over twenty-five years of research and development to forge this unique combination of beautiful, yet tough Tiger Hide exterior, aerospace inspired honeycomb core, composite construction, and exclusive press-molding technology into this winning combination of FRP excellence. Other manufacturers have tried to duplicate our process, but only Tiger Door can provide the combination of features that make Tiger the first choice in FRP doors.

Competitors just glue pre-made FRP flat sheets onto the door perimeter with an adhesive. While Tiger Hides are fusion-laminated using proprietary press-molding technology to become an integral part of the Tiger Door physiology.

The Tiger Door body starts with a high-modulus pultruded FRP tubular backbone. This structural rail and stile sub frame provides a large portion of Tiger Door’s tremendous endurance.

Tiger Hides begin with the application of an “in-mold” tough satin textured color gelcoat skin. Chopped strand glass-fiber mat forms the connective tissue, followed by a muscular knitted 3-layer oriented strand glass-fiber structural reinforcement. This directional reinforcing further enhances Tiger Door’s great strength and power.

Finally, the raw Tiger Hides are simultaneously fused onto both faces and all the edges of the door under heat and pressure until cured – not only to the backbone, but to the entire phenolic impregnated honeycomb core skeleton as well – completing the Tiger Door’s potent anatomy. The result is a seamless, vigorous physique of incredible stamina.
