Insulation & Energy SavingsMost of our garage doors can be ordered with different levels of insulation to help keep your garage and home warm during the winter months. If you have an attached garage, can translate into hundreds of dollars in energy savings every year. Buying an insulated garage door is a great investment that will save you money every winter. Learn more about insulated garage doors... A garage door opening is the largest moving object in your home. Insulated doors will help to reduce the transfer of heat or cold air into your garage. This is important for a number of reasons: 1) If your garage is attached to your home, air in the garage can travel through the doorway to your living area. An insulated garage door will reduce the transfer of air from the outside to the inside. 2) If you use your garage as a workshop, your comfort will be a top priority. An insulated garage door will help keep the temperature in the garage within a narrower temperature range as compared to the extreme range of the outside temperature.
3) If your garage is below another room in your home, air can travel through the ceiling of the garage into the floor of the room above. An insulated door will keep temperatures in the garage fairly stable to reduce the temperature fluctuation in the room above. 4) An insulated garage door is generally quieter and has a more attractive interior than a non-insulated door. Many manufacturers use R-values to show the energy efficiency of their product. This number is calculated based on the thickness of the insulation and its chemical properties. Therefore, most of the published R-value numbers, reflect only the R-value of a section, not of the installed door. A door's insulating capabilities can be greatly affected by the door's construction. For that reason, Amarr's insulated doors are built to maximize energy efficiency. Our thermal break, door section construction and insulation help keep your garage as comfortable as possible. Effective January 1, 2009, the Door and Access System Manufacturers Association (DASMA), which represents over 90% of the door and access systems manufacturers in the US and Canada, put into effect a voluntary standard for manufacturers to list R-values in accordance with DASMA Technical Data Sheet (TDS) #163.
When comparing R-values among garage door manufacturers, be sure to look for statements that mention DASMA TDS-163. Calculated R-values for Amarr door sections are in accordance with DASMA TDS-163 and based on actual independent testing per ASTM 518.FAIL (the browser should render some flash content, not this). Strong, Efficient and Attractive When your major considerations include energy efficiency, noise buffering and beauty, a Haas 600 Series commercial insulated steel door will far exceed your expectations. These CFC-free, polyurethane-foam-injected steel doors offer exceptional benefits for commercial applications, including durable strength, unique paint system and hard working hardware to withstand the harshest of elements. 2” or 3” Track Double Steel End Stiles Optional Exhaust Port (interior view) 600 Series Quick Guide Polar White & Brown 26 GA Carriage House 26 GA Recessed Panel 26 GA Long Carriage House 26 GA Ranch Panel

The Strength To Keep Out Noise And Weather Haas commercial insulated doors stand up to the elements, while dramatically decreasing exterior noise and enhancing the overall aesthetics of your building at the same time. Choosing one of our insulated doors will help increase energy savings, as our CFC-free polyurethane provides one of the highest R values available in sectional doors. Haas garage doors are made from steel that contains 80% recycled material. They are reinforced with roll-formed galvanized steel struts and double-end hinges, as required to meet wind load specifications and to comply with ANSI/DASM 102-2004.
The protective coating system is found on both the interior and exterior steel. A full Thermal Break is used in the tongue-and-groove construction of all commercial insulated doors. This rigid vinyl extrusion seals the joints and eliminates metal-to-metal contact between door sections, which limits the transfer of temperature. This also provides optimum water and wind resistance. The track is 2” or 3” galvanized steel, depending on door size, with bracket mount for wood jambs or continuous reverse mounting for steel jambs. door widths are 2” wider than the opening. Track rollers are 2” or 3” case-hardened inner and outer steel races with 10-ball pre-lubricated bearings. Hinges, brackets, and reinforcing struts are hot-dipped galvanized steel. Fasteners are plated for maximum corrosion resistance. Counterbalancing springs are torsion type, computer calibrated to match door load. This provides a 10,000-cycle life at the minimum; optional spring wires can achieve 25,000, 50,000 and 100,000 cycle requirements.
Springs are wound from oil-tempered wire and mounted on a continuous cross header tube or solid shaft, as determined by torque load. CFC-Free Polyurethane Foam Construction The polyurethane foam in a Haas garage door section is fully enclosed inside the steel skins. This design puts the insulation properties of polyurethane foam far ahead of polystyrene foam for performance and value. Polyurethane foam is a two-part system. It begins with two chemical blends that when mixed together expand and cure to fill the garage door panel. During the expansion, the foam completely fills the inside of the panel and becomes fully adhered to the steel skins of the garage door panel to form a composite structure that is of exceptional strength and rigidity. Polyurethane foams are very stable when encapsulated inside a garage door section. Insulating with polyurethane provides a superior product with higher insulation properties and a stronger unitized section. All Haas steel garage doors include a three-tier, corrosion-resistant protective paint system with a polyurethane primer and durable polyester finish coat on the interior and exterior.
