DOE Cool Energy House - Florida
The Canyon Ridge Collection is a line of energy efficient faux wood carriage house style garage doors constructed from a durable, low-maintenance composite polymer material. The five-layer door features a ½”-thick cladding and overlay material adhered to a 2” three-layer polyurethane insulated steel base door with a thermal break for superior strength and energy efficiency. With a 20.4 R-value, it’s well insulated to improve comfort year-round. Unlike real wood, the door is moisture resistant, so it won’t rot, split, shrink, or crack. The cladding material and overlays are molded from actual wood species to duplicate the natural texture and grain patterns that give wood doors a one-of-a-kind character. The surface can be painted or stained. The addition of insulated rectangular windows across the top section lets natural light flow into the garage while maintaining energy efficiency. Other designs, cladding types and finishes are offered to fit a variety of home styles. Photos by Andy Frame.
