Many manufacturers are using recyclable materials for making garage doors.

Since wood is recyclable and biodegradable, wooden garage doors are a popular choice among both manufacturers and customers who insists on eco-friendly products. There are also wood composite garage doors made of a combination of new and recycled material, and composite doors made completely of recycled wood. DASMA, a trade association of Door and Access Systems Manufacturers, which is developing industry standards for many products, is encouraging garage door companies to become environment friendly.

'Going green' is a motto that we prefer to incorporate in pretty much everything that we do today, and nowadays many a garage door contractor and company are also doing their share in getting things done in an environment friendly way. We at Garage Door Repair Watauga can help you in keeping your garage installations green by connecting you to manufacturers and companies who give that extra care to ensure that their products do not pollute the atmosphere.

Quite a lot of recycled material can be used in making steel garage doors also. Besides that, environment conscious companies have introduced eco-friendly methods for painting and giving other finishing touches, and also for disposing the waste that accumulates during various stages of manufacturing. One manufacturer has devised a unique eco-friendly way of powder coating doors and removing the overflow.

An insulated garage door will help in reducing environmental pollution even though garage door prices will be markedly higher for insulated ones.  If you use your garage for activities other than for just keeping your car, or if above the garage there is a room that is regularly used, insulating the garage against heat and cold will definitely help. An insulated garage door, the R-value of which is 14, will be sufficient for a garage. Garage Door Repair Watauga can help you in finding a garage door company that can install the type of insulated garage door you prefer.

R-value is the unit by which the thermal resistance of an insulated object is measured. The R-value of some insulated doors may become reduced over a period of time. In the foam insulation provided by polystyrene or polyurethane between steel sheets, the insulation materials are blown using gases like chlorofluorocarbons and these may escape over a time and become replaced partially by air. There are also open cell foams without trapped gases which are more lasting, and you can take the advice of a garage door service provider in choosing the right one that suits your budget.

Where there are windows on the garage door, the windows will need certain reinforcements to maintain the R-value of the door insulation. In sectional doors with two or more windows, the windows must have double pane glass to maintain an R-value of 14.
