Insulation
We offer doors in four insulation levels.
Uninsulated
These doors are the most economically friendly while still offering the same beautiful style on the outside.
1 3/8" R-7.45 vinyl covered polystyrene
Provides increased energy efficiency and quieter operation than an uninsulated door. The insulation is held in place with white steel style covers.
1 3/8" R-13.45 and 1 3/4" R-16.18 pressure injected polyurethane foam
Bonds to both exterior and interior skins leaving no voids. While providing increased insulating values the insulation also adds extra strength to the door.
Springs
A garage door's springs counterbalance the weight of the door so you or a garage door opener can lift it with ease.
Two different styles of springs, torsion and extension, are used regularly.
Torsion
Torsion springs are mounted on the header directly above the garage door. This style spring is the most common on new doors.
Extension
Extension springs are mounted parallel to the door's upper tracks and stretch out when the door is down. They are often used on single wide doors or where space above the door is limited.
