| Insulation Value and the Strength of your garage door are important.
Consider the R-Value and steel thickness when you…
• Plan on spending a lot of time in your garage
• Have a room above or next to your garage
• Have activity such as children playing in front of the garage doors
R-Value is a measurement of the thermal efficiency of a door, or how well it insulates. Choose a higher R-Value when a better insulated door is needed.
Steel Gauge is a measurement of the steel strength of a door. If there is the chance of objects hitting the outside of the door (you have kids) then you should consider a heavier gauge steel, such as a 24 gauge. Remember, a lower gauge means stronger steel.
Wood Composite and Natural Wood doors are known for their strength and long-lasting durability. Choosing one of these doors over a steel product does not mean a sacrifice in quality. |
