Therma Tech II™ door sections are made using
two steel skins for the front and back of the
door with a true thermal break which does not
transfer the cold and heat from the exterior
skin to the interior skin, thus achieving optimal
performance.
The two skins are laminated with liquid moisture
cured, CFC free, Urethane adhesive and sandwiched
around a rigid Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) insulated
core.
Northwest Door focused on the use of Expanded
Polystyrene (EPS) as a more stable, higher quality
and environmentally friendly insulating material,
ideally suited for garage door applications.
A COMPLETE SEAL SYSTEM
Drafts, (technical term – Air Migration) will
also quickly negate any insulation you have and
as the saying goes;
“A fridge is only
as good as the quality of its seals.”
The Therma Tech II Insulated Garage Door System
from Garador is available with up to three separate
seals to combat air migration.
- A thermal barrier joint seal that seals
off the inherent gaps between each panel.
- A deep cushioning “U” shape flexible vinyl
extrusion attached to the bottom panel to
seal gaps between the door and floor.
- An optional Jamb Edge Seal System to seal
any gaps there may be between the door and
the opening - available in the four standard
colours shown below.
APPEARANCE IS IMPORTANT IN A GARAGE DOOR
One of the critical aspects of a garage door
is its surface flatness (the absence of “oil
canning”).
The NWD manufacturing process takes a finished
EPS sheet cut by CNC equipment and places it
between the two metal faces with engineered
adhesives which are then roller/heat cured in
a very dimensionally controlled environment.
These exacting tolerances allow for the achievement
of a much greater surface flatness over the
length of the finished panel - so your garage
door will look great.
IT’S ABOUT A LONGER LIFESPAN
EPS is a 'closed cell' type insulation which
provides better thermal retention and less moisture
absorption which, if left unchecked, can cause
rust and opener wear by altering the operational
characteristics of your door.
EPS is stable and provides longer lived performance
as it does not degrade as other forms of insulation
can.
Remember, your garage door is a moving object
so inherent stresses during the open/close cycles
and sun loading can severely reduce the performance
of an inferior insulation over its lifespan.
A QUALITY DOOR FROM A TRUSTED BRAND
It would have been easy for us to find a cheap
product from any one of a number of countries
but we have a brand to protect - a brand people
trust, so we went to the leader in insulated
doors, one with a history of expertise and a
proven track record - Northwest Door.
At 2” thick (51mm), with an integrated thermal
break, a complete draft seal system and from
a trusted source, your Therma Tech II™ insulated
garage door from Garador will do the job right
and stand the test of time.
“You can rely on
Northwest Door's considerable experience of
more than 20 years and hundreds of thousands

WHO IS NORTHWEST DOOR INC?
When it comes to garage doors, Northwest Door®
is a leader in innovation and quality.
Northwest is a family owned business that began
in 1946 installing wooden garage doors.
Since 1970 Northwest Door has been an inventive
overhead garage door manufacturer catering to
the needs of the market place.
In 1989 Northwest introduced the Therma Shield,
one of the first steel sandwich construction
doors which has now evolved into the Therma
Tech™ line.
 A
GREENER CHOICE?
Let's be honest, not every choice we make can
be completely 'Green' and the same must be said
for insulated doors, but we can limit the potential
environmental impact of our choices.
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is made from expanded
beads that are similar to those found in a 'bean
bag' and contain approximately 98% air. The
beads are injected into a moulding machine that
applies steam and pressure, which fuses the
beads together.
- EPS does not utilize Chlorofluorocarbon
(CFC), Hydro Chlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), or
Formaldehyde in its manufacturing process
so there is no potential for out gassing or
the release of harmful toxic chemicals over
the life of the door.
- EPS is inert, stable and does not produce
methane gas or contaminating leachates.
- EPS is odourless, non-toxic and can readily
be recycled.
- We will suply your Therma Tech door with
one of our GDO series Low Standby Power usage,
DC openers, to ensure further energy saving
or you can minimise your environmental impact
even further with our unique solar powered
battery option.
