Garador sets the Benchmark with its New Range of Therma Tech II Insulated Steel Garage Doors.

With a winter of extremes and the large amount of publicity around the ENERGYWISE™ funding to install insulation and /or heating in homes, insulation is a front-of-mind topic for many homeowners.

As a result, there has been an abundance of insulated product importers and suppliers crop up around the country promising many things.

Even the garage door industry has seen its fair share of new companies set up to import and distribute insulated door panels manufactured in low-cost countries such as China. Many of these new companies refer to long histories and nationwide networks of professional installers.

Being a company with a brand that people know and trust, we decided that any Insulated Door solution we provided would not cut corners, so we went to the leader in insulated doors, one with a long history of expertise and a proven international track record – Northwest Door.

When it comes to garage doors, Northwest Door® is a leader in innovation and quality being a family owned business that began in 1946. Since 1970 Northwest Door has been an inventive overhead garage door manufacturer and in 1989 Northwest introduced the Therma Shield, one of the first steel sandwich construction doors available, which has now evolved into the Therma Tech™ line.

Garador and Northwest Door are the perfect partners as far as we are concerned.

Setting the Benchmark for Insulated Steel Garage Doors

If you are serious about insulating your garage space, you will have insulation in your walls and ceiling and quality Double Glazed windows so you need an insulated garage door with a specially designed Thermal Break developed around the same principle;

“A thermal break is an element of low thermal conductivity placed in an assembly to reduce or prevent the flow of thermal energy between conductive materials.”

Each Therma Tech II Insulated Panel is produced with an Energy Efficient Thermal Barrier that effectively separates the inner and outer steel skins of the panel, restricting heat-transfer to and from the inside steel surface. More...

Even the best insulation in the world is wasted otherwise.

Drafts, (technical term – Air Migration) will also quickly negate any insulation you have and as the saying goes;

“A fridge is only as good as the quality of its seals.”

The Therma Tech II Insulated Garage Door System from Garador is available with up to three separate seals to combat air migration.

1. A thermal barrier joint seal that seals off the inherent gaps between each panel.
2. A deep cushioning “U” shape flexible vinyl extrusion attached to the bottom panel to seal gaps between the door and floor.
3. An optional Jamb Edge Seal System to seal any gaps there may be between the door and the opening. More...
