Basement exterior door

Nice trans-atlantic difference here! Fiber glass is not very well received in Brussels. The material is very bad for recycling. The main reason why the Eames Plastic Chair is Polyethene now instead of FG. Besides, composites do very bad in local building regulations. They give you major 'bad' points on the sustainable materials check lists.
Here housing doors are 90% multiplex (with a sheet of aluminium for real stiffness), 10% solid wood I guess (the classic models).

My front door is wood and glass... no urethane, though, just paint. It doesn't matter that much behind a storm door.
