How to Build A Sustainable Garage Door
There are pieces of a puzzle that must fit your garage door and will ensure long-lasting efficiency. Who wants to keep monitoring their garage door for its next impending breakdown? A sustainable garage door means there are environmentally-friendly practices, materials, manufacturing, and designs that all play a part for a final product that’s worthwhile.
Your garage door plays an important role in structural integrity and energy efficiency, and this article lays out ways to ensure those qualities remain before garage door installation and long after.
Choosing Your Garage Door Construction
When talking about piecing together your overhead door system, choosing your garage door construction is the first level, or first step towards long-term sustainability. Additional insulation will affect durability, longevity, energy conservation, and noise barriers for your three choices of garage door construction:
A non-insulated door- will simply be the steel sections.
Two layers of insulation- will include exposed insulation on the interior of your garage door.
Three layers of insulation- will be a polyurethane or polystyrene insulation sandwiched between two layers of steel. Insulation will not be exposed.

Adding insulation is a great way to make your garage door energy-efficient, which equates to a sustainable garage door. By eliminating energy loss and upsetting noise vibrations, garage door insulation also withstands extreme high winds which greatly reduces the risk of needing a garage door replacement anytime soon.
Eliminate Product Loss
We help prevent major product loss by offering efficient and prompt garage door repairs near West Haven, North Haven, and the surrounding areas. Instead of looking for a much pricier service appointment with total garage door replacements, we help each customer with a simple motor repair, section replacement, opener troubleshooting, or garage door realignment.
A sustainable practice is catching an issue early before it spreads to adjoining parts or system failure. Thus, it is up to the garage door owner to call for prompt repair when they see a potential problem with their overhead door or operating system.
Garage Door Maintenance
The sum of your garage door parts and adjoining hardware create major pressure points which require professional attention about once a year. The best way to curb frequent garage door repair or costly system overhauls is annual garage door maintenance. Thorough system inspections, tune-ups, and door balance tests are all cost-effective solutions that fortify your overhead door, and grants many more years of use.
High-Quality Products

The latter instills sustainability in everything they do, and Haas Doors are made from steel that contains 80% recycled material.
