ThermoCraft is an insulated steel garage door from Steel-Craft Door Products, a Canadian manufacturer. It’s built with polyurethane foam between two galvanized steel skins, and it comes in two versions. The T-12 is the entry model, and the T-16 has more insulation and more colour choices.

Specs from Steel-Craft product information. Colour availability can change, so we’ll confirm the current chart when you order.

Which one should you pick?

If the garage is unheated and you want a clean white door, the T-12 does the job. If you heat the garage, use it as a workshop, or have a room above it, the extra insulation in the T-16 is worth it. It’s also the one to choose if you want a colour other than white.

Windows

Steel-Craft offers 15 window designs for the ThermoCraft, including Plain, Frosted, Sunburst, Stockton, Cascade, Colonial, Somerton, Stockbridge, Wynbridge, Ridgewood, Somerview, Stanton, Waterton, Regal and Royal. Plain lites come in single-pane or insulated thermopane glass, and there are clear, satin and textured glass options.

What else comes with the door

• Embossed woodgrain panels with sections that interlock along their full length
• Steel end caps instead of wood stiles
• Double-finned weatherstripping and an Arctic-grade bottom seal
• Galvanized hardware, tapered track and torsion springs balanced to the door

Installation

We measure the opening, order the door in your size and colour, and install it with new track and springs. If you’d like a new opener at the same time, we can do both in one visit. See residential garage doors for other styles we install.
