N. VENICE, Fla., Jan. 27, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PGT Industries (Nasdaq:PGTI), the nation's leading supplier of residential impact-resistant windows and doors announced today it will introduce a new Vinyl French Door at the NAHB International Builders' Show in Las Vegas on February 4, 2014, Booth C3012.

For added strength and security, the design also features a standard multi-point lock with an anti-lift feature that secures the doors to the frame. It boasts tough Miami-Dade certifications and its cellular vinyl frame and panels contribute to its ENERGY STAR® performance.
"This new door enables PGT to deliver a feature-rich solution for new construction as well as remodeling projects," said Todd Antonelli, Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
