Why FinDoors are Right for Your Alaskan Home
Winter has come to the Mat-Su Valley and nothing is more convenient than parking in a garage during these cold, snowy months. However, a garage is only as good as it's door, and here in Alaska, the garage door has the nearly impossible task of keeping out the extreme elements. The gusty winds and blowing snow can often defeat the typical weatherstripping on traditional overhead garage doors resulting in a cold, drafty garage. From warping issues to leaking seals, we understand the frustrations overhead garage doors can bring. That's why we're excited to introduce FinDoors to the residents of Palmer, Wasilla, and Eagle River, Alaska. These innovative folding doors are renowned for being weathertight, energy efficient and virtually maintenance free, making them the ultimate choice for industrial and residential applications.
Lightweight & Easy to Use
Overhead garage doors are notorious for being very heavy and difficult to open manually. FinDoors are completely opposite; they are designed to be lightweight and effortless to operate. In fact, they are so light in construction that even large industrial sized doors can be operated manually without much exertion. Simply unlock and slide – or rather, glide – the door open.
Less Maintenance & Trouble Free
One of the key advantages of FinDoors is they are virtually maintenance free. This has been achieved by minimizing the number of moving parts in the opening mechanisms, which in turn, results in few problems. It’s a good idea to lubricate the hinges every now and then but other than that there is no continuous maintenance needed.
Weathertight & Energy Efficient
Alaska's unique weather conditions require garage doors that can withstand extreme challenges and FinDoors are up to the task. These doors feature a thermally insulated and water-resistant core clad in sheet steel. The innovative male-female weather-stripping system between the panels ensure that your doors are weathertight and energy-efficient, blocking heat transmission and keeping the elements at bay. Even in extreme conditions, the EPDM rubber weather stripping holds up well and when the door is opening or closing, steel hinges lift the door off the floor, keeping the weather-stripping on the door bottom in good condition.
