FIRST FEATURE

Commercial sectional doors can be:

1. non-insulated steel (inexpensive, low R value)
2. high efficiency thermal (high R value, high STC rating, internal horizontal hinge and  glazed options) or
3. aluminum (panels can be solid or glazed, low R value)

What do you think the best option is?

These door can be operated, electrically or with a chain hoist, on a single or double lift track system,. A double track is used when clearance height would not accommodate full height of garage door in open position or to allow for screening on a second track. Might also be a nice feature for a lake home!

Commercial doors now offer break away panels on lower section of doors which minimizes repair costs and facility down time in high-traffic areas. This option an be used in any of their sectional doors. 

UL325 entrapment protection is a safety device which does not allow door to close when something is in door opening. This is now mandatory for both residential and commercial door openers.
