INSULATED STEEL BACK GARAGE DOORS

Northwest Doors offers panel garage doors with multiple insulation levels. Their standard steel back Therma Tech Model has a high R-9 insulation value. Most manufacturers start at R-6. R Value is the insulation rating with the higher number having better resistance to cold or heat gain. In San Jose, a garage door that faces south should probably have an even higher r-value so we recommend the Therma Tech II that has an R value of 10.4 or even the Therma Max which comes in at R-12. TRi Tech goes up to R-16. These doors are available in contemporary, short, long or carriage panels designs and have optional windows available with various insert designs. Colors are white, almond, sandstone, and brown. Garage doors are also paintable.

WOOD PANEL DOORS

Wood panel doors are delivered in stain grade or paint grade and are available in meranti  plywood, hem fir, cedar and other wood species. Wood doors also have a number of window styles and glass types. Panel styles are flush, recessed, or raised panels. Unlike steel garage doors, the more panel designs on a section are typically more expensive. A short panel with 8 squares across will typically be more money than a panel with only 4 rectangles. Panel sizes can be mixed and matched to create unique looking panel doors. Panel doors are available with or without insulation. We rarely recommend any door without insulation. Insulation adds to the energy efficiency and the quietness of the door as it moves. Additionally, insulation reduces noise from the street.
