Clopay is introducing 1-3/8” and 2” thick polyurethane insulation options to its Gallery Collection vintage style steel doors, nearly doubling the thermal protection offered by the current polystyrene insulated Gallery models.
The “sandwich” constructed doors feature a layer of environmentally safe, CFC-free, polyurethane insulation foam injected between two layers of heavy gauge steel with a thermal break. The 1-3/8” thick model provides an R-value of 12.9; the 2” model R-value is 17.2. Insulated windows are also an option.
Polyurethane insulation delivers twice the thermal performance of polysterene insulation of the same thickness. It also adds strength and rigidity to the door panels, which helps reduce noise and minimize unsightly dents and dings, one of the main reasons why homeowners choose to replace a door before it reaches its maximum life expectancy.
The Gallery Collection’s signature look consists of both long and short grooved panels constructed from heavy gauge steel embossed with a woodgrain texture. The doors range in size from 6’ to 12’ high, and up to 20’ wide in white, almond, brown and sandtone. They can also be painted.
Multiple design combinations are available featuring square, rectangular and arched windows, with or without decorative grilles, and the popular wrought iron designs. Decorative black spade handles, a step plate and outside, keyed lock enhance the vintage appearance.
“Garage doors are more susceptible to temperature fluctuations given how frequently they are opened and closed each day,” says Pat Lohse, Clopay’s vice president of residential marketing. “With R-values up to 17.2, Clopay urethane insulated garage doors provide the best protection against hot and cold air rushing indoors every time you come and go, ultimately reducing energy loss to save you money.”
Other standard features on the Gallery Collection include:
▪ Heavy-duty 14-gauge steel hinges
▪ Durable, quiet nylon rollers
▪ Rust-proof, aluminum-bottom weather seal retainer and durable vinyl astragal
▪ Longer-lasting corrosion-resistant galvanized torsion springs
▪ Factory paint finish inside and out for a clean appearance
▪ UV-protected color matched window frames, inserts and grip/step handles
