MASTERGRAIN 

In 2008, Weber Manufacturing Technologies Inc., a tooling company based in Midland, Ontario, Canada, set out to leverage their proprietary Nickel Vapor Deposition (NVD) technology to completely revolutionize how fiberglass entry doors are made.

​

NVD technology provides a unique way to capture fine surface grain details found on wood, leather and other materials. It works by taking a silicone cast of the actual material and then creating highly specialized nickel tools, which are used to transfer the grain. With NVD, Weber created a complete offering of fiberglass door designs and fiberglass-clad components. The offering was branded MASTERGRAIN™ and the company quickly began selling doors across North America.

​

While there are other technologies that can replicate woodgrain for fiberglass door production, none can deliver the intricate and beautiful detail that a MASTERGRAIN door is able to produce at a microscopic level using NVD technology.

​

Today, in addition to MASTERGRAIN doors, Weber uses NVD technology to create tooling and finished products for some of the world’s most luxurious automotive, aerospace and building product brands. Among these well-known customers are BMW, Tesla and Boeing.
