Performance of Gallery® Steel in Extreme Weather
The Gallery® Steel door is engineered for Mesa’s heat and rare storms, based on Clopay’s testing:
Construction Options
3-layer (steel + 2-inch Intellicore® polyurethane + steel, R-value 18.4), 2-layer (steel + 1-3/8-inch polystyrene, R-value 6.3-9.1), or 1-layer (27-gauge steel, no insulation).
Heat Resistance
The galvanized steel base, with a baked-on primer and polyester topcoat, withstands UV exposure and temperatures up to 160°F without warping, per Clopay’s durability tests.
Weather Sealing
Tongue-and-groove joints and a replaceable vinyl weather seal in a rust-proof aluminum retainer block winds up to 40 mph and dust infiltration common in Mesa.
Wind Load
Optional WINDCODE® W4 reinforcement handles 146 mph winds (20.5 psf pressure), exceeding Arizona’s typical 90 mph design standard (ASCE 7-16), though rarely needed locally.
In Mesa’s 100+°F summers, the insulated 3-layer model reduces garage temps by up to 20°F compared to uninsulated steel, per Clopay’s thermal data.
Benefits of Choosing Gallery® Steel
The Gallery® Steel door offers tangible advantages, verified by Clopay and industry norms:
Durability
27-gauge steel (0.016-inch thick) resists dents 30% better than 29-gauge alternatives, with a 20-30 year lifespan per Clopay’s warranty terms.
Energy Savings
The R-18.4 model cuts heat transfer by 70% versus non-insulated doors, reducing cooling costs by 10-15% annually in attached garages, per DOE insulation studies.
Maintenance Ease
Requires 1-2 hours of care yearly versus wood’s 10-15 hours for staining and sealing, per homeowner feedback and Clopay guides.
Security
Steel construction and Safe-T-Bracket® design deter forced entry and prevent spring-related injuries, meeting UL 325 safety standards.
Value Boost
Carriage house styling lifts curb appeal, with NAR data showing a 4% home value increase (average $12,000 in Mesa’s $300,000 market).
Clopay backs this with a lifetime paint warranty and 10-year window warranty on 3-layer models.
Maintenance Tips for Gallery® Steel Doors
Clopay’s care instructions ensure longevity with minimal effort:
- Cleaning: Wash every 6 months with 1/4 cup mild dish soap per gallon of water, using a soft sponge. Rinse off Mesa’s dust and pollen. Takes 30-45 minutes for a 16×7-foot door. No pressure washers or ammonia.
- Lubrication: Apply silicone lubricant to 10-ball nylon rollers, 14-gauge hinges, and torsion springs yearly (5-10 minutes). Avoid WD-40, which gums up in dusty climates.
- Inspection: Check the vinyl weather seal for cracks and test balance by lifting halfway manually (5 minutes). If it drops, springs need adjustment – call us. Verify opener auto-reverse monthly per UL 325.
- Touch-Ups: Repair scratches with Clopay-matched exterior paint (e.g., SW 9004 for Almond) to stop rust, especially after monsoon debris hits.
Total annual upkeep is under 2 hours, versus wood’s refinishing every 2-3 years.
