For unsurpassed quality, nothing matches the features of the Therma-Shield III. Three-inch laminated steel two-sided doors provide optimum energy efficiency and durability. Highly effective Polystyrene insulation (R-16.25) is bonded between 26-gauge substrate to provide incredible strength and thermal protection while maintaining a solid, quiet operation. Flush wood grain embossed panels match strength with beauty. Every door is accompanied with our ten-year limited warranty against rust and delamination and one-year warranty against defects.

WINDOW OPTIONS

The choice is yours. Optional 24” x 12” and 24” x 8” insulated lite windows can be installed in any section.

AIR FILTRATION SPECIFICATIONS
Door was evaluated for air infiltration in general accordance with ASTM E 283 and NAGDM 105-86.“Test Method for Thermal Transmittance and Air Infiltration of Garage Doors”.

• Air Infiltration @ 0.56 psf (15 mph) 0.05 cfm/ft2
• Air Infiltration @ 1.56 psf (25 mph) 0.10 cfm/ft2
  

*For complete test results please contact North Central Door Company.

FEATURES

1. Effective Polystyrene insulation (R-16.25) is bonded to each steel skin, • providing strong thermal protection to the very edge of each section.
2. Tough PVC seal provides a continuous thermal beak on all sections that reduces thermal transmission. Uniquely designed tongue and groove section joints create a weather-resistant seal against rain, snow and wind.
   
3. Strong embossed hot-dipped galvanized steel. The pre-finished exterior and interior are then coated with a baked-on polyester primer and acrylic finish.
4. 18-gauge hot-dipped galvanized recessed and concealed hardware back-• up plates are carried the full height of the section, providing superior strength and durability than commonly-used hinge pads.
5. End stiles are 18-gauge, hot-dipped galvanized steel.
6. Our tough “U”-shaped bottom weather-seal helps protect against the elements
