PANEL CONSTRUCTION

1 Aluminum walls

• Thickness of 0.023” (0.60 mm)
• Pre-painted aluminum with five coats of protective finish. Baked-on polyester paint. Can be repainted and is corrosion-resistant.
• Woodgrain finish on both sides of the door.

2 1 ¾" (44.5 mm) insulated door with high-pressure injected polyurethane foam ensuring a high thermal-resistance rating of R-16 (RSI 2.8 or k= 0.357 W/m²K) and the solidity of a composite material.

3 InterLok^TM joints between each section:

• Mechanical joints ensure stronger sections with walls of each panel mechanically interlocked (not only bonded by the polyurethane).
• Mechanical thermal break avoids heat transfer between the interior and exterior walls of each section.
• Triple-contact joint prevents air infiltration.

4 U-shaped tubular bottom weatherstripping made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) ensures the weathertightness of the threshold. R emains flexible and watertight during cold weather, to -62°F (-52°C).

5 Flexible top weatherstripping 2 ½” (64 mm) and aluminum extrusion for aluminum doors of 10’ (3048 mm) wide and over.

6 Wood end blocks made of kiln-dried pine (grade 4). With our lag screw system, ensure better fastening of the end hinges. They also provide a thermal break which prevents thermal bridging.

7 14-gauge steel reinforcement plates placed inside the door for solidly attaching hinges and struts.

Door weight: 1.55 lb/ft² (7.6 kg/m²)

Hardware options
Precision end bearing plate 3	For 650 lb (250 kg) doors and over, to provide stronger support for the opening system of the door.
Double hinges	Recommended for doors 14’ and wider, for a more stable mounting system.
11-gauge hinges	For very wide and very heavy doors, 1 000 lb (453 kg) and over
12-gauge continuous angle	Provides stronger attachment of the tracks on the wall.
1 1⁄4” (30 mm) solid shart	Provides more strength to the spring system.
Bridge strut	Ensures better resistance to wind load.
Safety bottom brackets	For a safer door system. If the lifting cables break, these brackets stop the fall of the door.
Tension bridge reinforcement	For very wide doors (18’ 3” wide and over), prevent warping of the steel door sections, meaning the curving of sections which can be caused by indoor and outdoor temperature differences.
Precision rollers	Machined steel: recommended for heavy doors and dusty environments. Black nylon: made of rigid plastic, they reduce the noise of the door in motion. Rubber: ensure smooth rolling and are recommended to reduce the noise of the door in motion (ideal for condo or apartment). NB-SS: with a stainless stem, ideal for car washes.
C-shaped or bumper springs	For a softer stop, they are recommended for all manually-operated doors with a high-lift track or a full vertical track.
Pusher springs	Highly recommended for large size doors with a standard lift with a Jackshaft opener installed beside the door. They ensure the good tautness of the lifting cables when the door is operating.
Chain hoist	For easier closing and opening of a door operated manually.
"Z" or "L“ style track guards	Protect the tracks in high-traffic areas (ex.: forklifts).
High-cycle springs	Recommended for intense uses of more then 50 operation cycles per day. Vary from 25,000 to 200,000 cycles.
