Construction and Materials
The Great Northern Door Company offers a range of residential garage doors designed for both durability and aesthetic appeal. These doors are constructed with quality materials to ensure longevity and performance in various weather conditions.
Construction and Materials:
- Sections: The garage doors are built with multiple horizontal sections that articulate to allow the door to roll up and over the garage opening. These sections are typically made from steel.
- Steel Gauge: The steel used is of a specific gauge, chosen for its strength and resistance to dents. Higher gauge numbers indicate thinner steel, while lower numbers represent thicker, more robust steel.
- Insulation: Many models offer insulated sections. The insulation material is often expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam, which is sandwiched between the steel layers. This insulation provides thermal resistance, helping to maintain garage temperature and reduce energy transfer.
- Corrosion Resistance: Steel sections are often treated with a protective coating to prevent rust and corrosion. This typically includes a layer of galvanization followed by a primer and a top coat of paint.
- Finish: The exterior finish of the doors is available in a variety of colors and styles, designed to complement different home exteriors. These finishes are applied to provide UV resistance and maintain color integrity over time.
- Hardware: The doors are equipped with heavy-duty hardware, including rollers, hinges, and tracks, made from durable materials such as steel. These components are engineered for smooth operation and to withstand the weight and movement of the door.
- Window Options: Some models feature decorative window panels. These windows are typically made from impact-resistant glass or acrylic for safety and durability.
Product Lines and Specifics:
The Great Northern Door Company provides distinct product lines, each with variations in construction and material composition to meet different needs and preferences:
- Traditional Steel Doors: These doors are built with multiple steel sections and offer a balance of strength and affordability. They are often available in various panel designs, such as raised or recessed panels, and can include insulation options.
- Carriage House Style Doors: These doors are designed to mimic the look of traditional swinging carriage house doors but operate with modern sectional garage door mechanisms. They are constructed from steel and may feature decorative hardware and specific panel profiles for an authentic appearance.
- Steel Doors with Woodgrain Finish: For those seeking the aesthetic of wood without the maintenance, these doors utilize steel construction with a textured finish that replicates the look of natural wood.
The specific gauge of steel, thickness of insulation, and type of finish can vary between different models and options offered by Great Northern Door Company. These details contribute to the overall performance, energy efficiency, and aesthetic of the garage door.
