CLOPAY GARAGE & ENTRY DOOR BLOG

Looking Back, Looking Ahead

Dec 28, 2011

Before we officially ring in the New Year, here’s a recap of our favorite Clopay® products and projects from 2011.

Garage Door and Entry Door Replacement Projects Yield the Biggest Returns at Resale: According to the Remodeling 2010-2011 Cost vs. Value Report, garage door and entry door replacement projects deliver the biggest bang for your buck at resale, netting the No. 1 and number 2 spots respectively, in the national average.

 

Yes, Even a Garage Door Can Be Green

Green Builder Media originally wanted natural wood carriage house style garage doors for its 2011 ReVISION House in Orlando. But when we told them that our Canyon Ridge® Collection provides the look of wood without the upkeep, they were sold.

The moisture-resistant composite polymer cladding won't rot, warp, shrink or crack, and the doors are uber energy-efficient with a 19.2 R value.

 

Clopay $10,000 Garage Makeover Sweepstakes on Facebook: Gina from Connecticut was the grand prize winner of the "Clopay Garage Door Makeover Sweepstakes".

Not only did the addition of two new energy-efficient Gallery® Collection garage doors in the Walnut Ultra-Grain® finish enhance the appearance of her 60’s ranch style home, the polyurethane insulated doors improved the comfort of the bedroom located directly above the garage. 

Knock, Knock: It's the Craftsman Collection Entry Door

The newest addition to Clopay's fiberglass entry door line complements Bungalow, Mission and transitional style homes, as well as many of our residential garage doors. You’ll love the straight fir grain, the authentic architectural details and the decorative glass options.

Clopay's Walnut Ultra-Grain paint finish simulates the look of a stained wood surface on a polyurethane insulated steel door for long-lasting, maintenance-free beauty.

Painted white garage doors are a key fixture on the quaint, charming homes Cape Cod, Carmel, Vermont and Northern, Michigan are known for. Thanks to the Canyon Ridge Collection’s durable, low-maintenance composite cladding, you won't be stripping, sanding and painting every season to keep this factory-painted garage door looking good.

We added Bronze to our 1-3/8" polystyrene insulated garage door Models 4050, 4051 and 4053 to match this increasingly popular window cladding color.

 

The Avante® Collection Goes Hollywood

The Avante continued its reign as a garage door media darling as TV designers gave it a starring role on home improvement shows like the DIY Network's "Dream House: Log Cabin", "Rescue Renovation" and ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition". Look for it in 2012 on a NASCAR themed edition of DIY "House Crashers".

 

Specification Innovation: Clopay's online BIM and ARCAT SpecWizard® tools help architects and specifiers configure commercial overhead sectional and rolling steel doors, share info across multiple project teams and resolve potential issues in advance to eliminate costly change orders and delays. https://www.clopaydoor.com/commercial-door-products
