Hass makes the best insulated doors, 3 inches thick with a R-26 rating. I have 5 of them on my cave. They reduced my heating/cooling cost by over $500.00 a month, paying for themselves in the first year and a half (cave is 8200 sq ft).

Dunno about that, Overhead door just came out with a 3" R28...

Real answer is - see whats available local, The best doors useless to you without a good local dealer. The worst door can be the best option dependant on the local dealer/installer.

One of these days I'll go on a long rant about different door faces / hardware... But there are so many not available in my market - that it's almost useless to > half of you (who may have completely different makes/models; or may not have any of my options available to you).

OK 3 years ago when I bought mine Haas (not Hass) was the best insulated door.

Home Depot carries Clopay. You can try looking on their website but the size you want is not a normal residential size so it may not be listed. I needed a 12'x10' last year and they gave me a quote in a few minutes at the store.

Are you looking to Install yourself?

i'm pricing it out both ways, i got a price at lowes and it was 200 more to install it.it was about 1450 for an insulated door with windows installed

Check with your local door co. as well. Lowes and HD don't install doors! They sub all that work out, they also don't stock many if any doors

I went with Haas (2)12x12 and (1) 14x14 the best doors I could find. Not cheap but no other doors I looked at were even close. I hate those cheap doors that rattle in the wind.
I show my building to a fair amount of people looking to build. They always take down the type of door.

i got another price on the door, this one is an industrial door. it has an r26 insulation value and has 3 windows in it. it looks real good but seems a bit overboard for me and its 1800. opinions?
