WOW – that’s one strong garage door!

Have you ever really thought about how much you put your garage door through? We have, and we’ve evaluated some of the performance challenges you’ve probably never even thought of! We’re pretty sure you’ll see your garage door in a new light after reading this blog, and you’ll also understand why investing in quality and having your door installed by professionals counts

Your garage door works non‑stop…

You use your garage every day, and yet you don’t ever really see just how hard it’s working for you…

• It takes a beating! How many times on average do you think it gets hit by a ball per month?
• It works hard to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
• It protects your home from wrongdoers who attempt to break into your garage on their way into your house.
• It takes on everything the weather has to offer: strong rays of sunshine in the summer, ice and snow in the winter, not to mention the wind and rain…

Let’s put that into context…

• Your garage door performs over 25,000 operations in its lifetime. That’s the same as ascending and descending Everest a whole five times!
• The energy your door takes on from the sun’s rays daily could cook a turkey!
• If you take that daily energy over a 25‑year period, the energy would equal 55 barrels of gasoline!
• When faced with gale force winds (90 mph), the wind pushes the weight of a car on to your garage door!
• If your garage is insulated (R‑16), during the coldest days the interior temperature and the outside air temperature can differ a whole 50 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s the same as wearing three insulated winter coats, if each one has 25 mm of Thinsulate insulation!
• Your garage door doesn’t just keep you warm in the winter, a well‑insulated garage door can keep you nice and cool in the summer, too!

Now you see the bigger picture

You probably understand just how big a role your garage door plays now. So, you won’t ever have to think about it again - a well‑insulated, weathertight garage door is always the right choice. Polyurethane insulated garage doors offer the best protection – insulating from both cold and heat, reducing noise levels and providing high bend‑resistance.
