What It’s Made Of

Benchmark is built with a wood composite exterior and features an LVL core frame, urethane foam insulation, and Extira® or Acre® wood composite face frame overlay boards with profiled edges. Unfold each section of the menu below to learn more about available upgrades.

Extira®
  • Available with our Benchmark and Benchmark 2 series.
  • Extira® brand composite wood is designed for exterior applications and outperforms both wood and MDF due to a patented, proprietary manufacturing process.
  • Extira® is easy to work with and can be carved, routed, and machined using traditional woodworking tools.
  • Extira® comes with a 10-year warranty and resists moisture, rot, and termites.
Tricoya®
  • Available with our Benchmark Series.
  • Tricoya® brand panels combine the stability and durability of non-wood products with all of the advantages of wood composite panels.
  • These benefits include sustainability, versatility, lightweight construction, and ease-of-use for installation, coating, and forming.
  • Tricoya® can be used in extreme weather conditions without the cracks, delamination, and degradation associated with most wood products.
Acre®
  • Available with our Benchmark SP Series only.
  • Acre® is a composite material made mainly from recycled rice hulls combined with PVC.
  • This material can be used for exterior and interior as trim, panels, and decking.
  • Stains and paints must have a Light Reflective Value (LRV) above 60 to be used on Acre®.

Benchmark and Benchmark 2 Finishing Options

  • Paint the door yourself. We recommend field application of high-quality exterior paint that is applied prior to installation on all six sides of each door section.
  • Purchase a factory paint finish in the color of your choice.

Any Benchmark door that is primed only before leaving our factory must be field-finished on all six sides before installation in order to maintain the warranty.

Benchmark SP Finishing Options

  • Colors with an LRV value above 60 are permitted. 
  • Colors with LRV 59 or less require Heat Reflective paints and stains and are available from Artisan.
