Clopay Building Products is the first place recipient of the 2009 Home Builder Executive Innovation Award in recognition of its leadership and product advancement in the garage door category.
The publication’s editorial staff reviewed company Web sites, press releases and promotional materials, along with articles and interviews published over the past year and selected manufacturers that have brought unique products, features and/or builder programs to market during the last 12 months.
Since last fall, Clopay has introduced several new products that meet consumer demand for building materials that are stylish, energy efficient, sustainable, and virtually maintenance-free including:
Clopay Ultra-Grain™ – a durable, low-maintenance, faux woodgrain paint finish option offered on the Gallery® and Avante™ Collections.
The Canyon Ridge™ Collection – This rustic beauty delivers the best of both worlds: the realism and design flexibility of wood with low maintenance and the energy efficiency benefits of an insulated steel garage door.
The high-definition faux wood cladding is molded from actual wood species to replicate its natural texture and intricate grain patterns. But unlike real wood, it won’t rot, split, shrink, separate, or crack. Durable, energy efficient and very easy to maintain, once installed, it’s virtually indistinguishable from original.
2” Polyurethane Insulated Doors – Available on the Model 9000 Premium Series and Gallery Collection, these “sandwich” doors feature environmentally safe, CFC-free, polyurethane insulation foam injected between two layers of galvanized steel, with a thermal break, offering an R-value of 17.2.
