Many consumers these days are eco-minded and always on the lookout for "Green" or Eco-friendly products. Currently, there is no such standard for the moment in the garage door industry or norm that can categorize a garage door as environmentally friendly like in the window industry (ex : CSA standards A 440.4). However there are few things that can be helpful when one arises this objection :
- Energy efficient: Garaga (www.garaga.com) insulated doors are pressure injected with polyurethane foam that have a true R value (R-12 to R-18), a solid interlocking joint with double lip weather stripping contact increases weather tightness and less air infiltration. An efficient thermal break (wood end blocks) prevents the transfer of cold to inside of door.
- Door longevity: Garaga doors have a lifetime warranty and but are designed to surpass 25 years . Garaga residential «Dura Plus » hardware is top rated by garge door dealer network.
- Recycled components: the aluminium used by Garaga is recycled.
Although there are many energy saving benefits to purchasing a Garaga door (www.garaga.com) they do not comply with the« Energy Star » rating program.
What is required to comply with the Energy Star rating program?
