 Choose your comfort level

##  One classic look. Three ways to build it. 

R-value measures resistance to heat flow: the higher the number, the more insulation the door section provides. For attached garages or rooms beside and above the garage, the 3-layer insulated door is usually the place to start.

###  Value 

**1-layer · Non-insulated**

A durable steel pan door for detached garages and budget-first projects.

###  Value Plus 

**2-layer · Moderate insulation**

Steel with vinyl-backed polystyrene insulation for added comfort and quieter operation.

###  Premium 

**3-layer · R-6.5 to R-18.4**

Steel, insulation, and an interior steel skin for the strongest, quietest, most finished option.

Raised-panel designs

##  Pick the proportions that suit your home. 

Elegant panels add a refined edge detail on 3-layer Premium doors. Traditional panels keep the profile simple on 1- and 2-layer models. Both are available in short and long proportions.

###  Elegant Short 

**3-layer Premium.** A detailed, traditional pattern for Colonial, Craftsman, and classic architecture.

###  Elegant Long 

**3-layer Premium.** Broader raised panels create a calm horizontal rhythm that works especially well on ranch homes.

###  Traditional Short 

**1- or 2-layer.** The familiar short-panel garage door with a clean profile and flexible construction choices.

###  Traditional Long 

**1- or 2-layer.** A streamlined version of the classic raised panel for wider doors and simpler façades.

Window, glass, and decorative hardware availability varies by panel style and door size.  **Windows and hardware**

Keep the top section solid or choose windows ranging from simple clear glass to grilles, arches, and decorative inserts. Specialty glass can soften the view into the garage while still bringing in daylight.

- Clear, frosted, seeded, or rain glass
- Short, long, and architectural windows
- Colonial, Charleston, Prairie, and Madison inserts
- Optional decorative handles and strap hinges

Window, glass, and decorative hardware availability varies by panel style and door size.
