In order to prevent damage (rusting) caused by foreign matter adhering to the garage door, the door should be cleaned at least twice a year (normal environments) or 4 times a year (coastal environments). The garage door may need to be cleaned more frequently if road salt accumulates in a winter climate. The garage door should be wiped down with a mild household detergent and rinsed with clear water.

Note: Be sure to clean behind stop molding on the sides and top of the door.

We have confirmation from Clopay that the lead time for polyurethane garage doors has been reduced to 2-3 weeks beginning 02/14/2011. This is contrast to our previous post. This is great news for those wanting high insulation garage doors (up to r=17.2) like the 9130 series,9200 series, Gallery GD1SU, GD1SU, GD2LU, GD2LU and 3700 series commercial doors.  We do have access to some 9200 and 9203 doors in the most common sizes from Clopay regional center stock for immediate installation in the Chicago, IL area.

We have been advised that the lead times for Clopay polyurethane garage doors (having an R value up to 17.2 !!)  has been reduced to 3 to 4 weeks from the 5-7 weeks announced in December 2010. This includes 9130 series,9200 series, Gallery GD1SU, GD1SU, GD2LU, GD2LU and 3700 series commercial doors. We hope that this time will return to the standard 2 to 3 weeks soon (no comment from Clopay yet). We do have access to some 9200 and 9203 doors in the most common sizes from Clopay regional center stock for immediate installation in the Chicago, IL area.

As tax time approaches we would like to remind our customers who purchased new garage doors in 2010 that almost all of the  garage doors we sold last year qualify for the federal energy tax credit of up to 30% of material cost up to $1500. This includes garage doors from Clopay, Amarr and Jeld-Wen. Labor charges are not included.
