roll up garage doors

[jeff_gates]

I know that this has been done to death,
But I need to 4 roll up garage doors for my home shop, what is everyone buying?

I'm located out side of Seattle, cold but no snow.

I just bought and installed a 10 ft by 8 ft C H I insulated . I like it so far

Purchased an insulated roll and operator/remotes from http://www.smartgarage.ca

I've posted in my thread a fair bit about it with thermal imagery etc.

$1.00 US dollar will get you ~$1.30 CAD so the price may be quite good.

The metal on the door is 26 gauge, how are they to denting or any issues?

Jeff, it's been a year or so and zero issues. The door seems pretty tough, but no one has been throwing basketballs at it either. We did have a month with average temps at -20C and the door performed well. Leaning up against or walking into the door will not affect it at all. The manufacturers suggested an adult male running into the door would bounce off it..but I'm not trying that test

The insulation kit is effective, about R6, and the door is seamless so air leakage is not so bad if the insulation and seals are installed properly.

I really like the door Dennis installed. Had I known about that before, I might have used it myself. I ended up going with a Clopay insulated roll-up door for my garage. I have mixed feelings about it. Looks great, works great, only complaints are there are a couple loud squeaks when opening the door, and the drum has created a couple minor dents on the interior slats. Nothing I can't live with, just minor annoyances for the OCD.
