More Wood Species, Streamlined Ordering, Distinctive Designs Specifying a Clopay Wood Carriage House Door Is Painless with Addition of Reserve Collection Limited Edition Series

    CINCINNATI (February 7, 2007) - The distinction of a custom garage door design statement is now more easily attainable with Clopay's new Reserve Collection Limited Edition Series. The wood carriage house door line features eight designs based on some of the most inspired (and requested) custom order looks the company has created for luxury homes since it "reintroduced" wood to the marketplace in 2000.

    Clopay's Reserve Collection Limited Edition Series makes it easy to achieve the distinction of a custom wood garage door statement.

    Dream homes deserve dream doors.

    Clopay's Custom Limited Edition Series gives builders and homeowners the best of both worlds - a premium quality, handcrafted wood door without the long lead times and multistep approval process typically associated with one-of-a-kind manufacturing. "Using unique wood species for exterior doors is another way for architects and custom builders to set themselves and their homes apart from the competition," says Pat Lohse, Clopay Building Products vice president of residential marketing. "We have streamlined the design templates, pricing and manufacturing on this series to help eliminate delays builders and homeowners often encounter when custom ordering building products."

    Each Limited Edition door is built using a four-layer construction method resulting in a durable, polystyrene insulated door up to three inches thick. The base designs can be customized by selecting from up to seven wood species, including Meranti, Redwood, Cedar and Fir, twelve top section design options, and Clopay's unique decorative antique hardware. Available window styles include rectangular, square or arched true divided lites with obscure, insulated or specified glass.
