Garage door manufacturer Clopay Building Products today announced that its commercial Model 902 aluminum door featuring the new double-wall honeycomb ¼” thick polycarbonate window panel has been named one of the “Top 50 Products” of 2008 by Architectural Products magazine.
Products were selected based on reader response and will be highlighted in the sixth annual “Top 50 Products” special section in the November issue of the magazine.
Available in both a clear and a bronze tinted material, Clopay’s honeycomb polycarbonate window option offers a unique aesthetic appearance, allowing maximum natural light to filter through while maintaining relative privacy.
Polycarbonate panel possesses several qualities that make it a sustainable “green choice.” The material is durable and lightweight, which significantly reduces wear and tear on the door over time; and it is virtually unbreakable, providing impact strength 200 times greater than glass. The ribbed configuration of the multi-walled sheets traps hot or cold air within, providing outstanding thermal insulation.
The material is protected against yellowing and surface wear from extended UV exposure, which also blocks ultraviolet rays to prevent damage to objects inside the garage.
The panels are supported by a durable, 2 1/8-inch thick, rust-free, aluminum frame available in a clear, bronze or black anodized finish or painted white or brown. The frame can also be custom painted with a powder coated finish. Capped tongue and groove section joints and a vinyl bottom weather seal help keep out the elements.
