Polyurethane foamed-in-place insulation
	Our Model 8500 garage doors have an R-value of 15. The doors are manufactured with polyurethane foamed-in-place insulation using a patented process. Polyurethane insulation delivers twice the thermal performance of polystyrene insulation of the same thickness! It also adds strength and rigidity to the door panels and helps dampen sound transmission.

Bottom Weather Seal
	In addition to our patented foamed-in-place insulation, the Model 8500 has a bottom weather seal. The bottom weather seal blocks drafts and helps save energy. It remains flexible even in extreme cold to keep the bad weather outside.

	Wayne-Dalton doors are available with Windload options in areas with the toughest windload requirements. Engineered with special materials and hardware, Wayne-Dalton Windload Certified Garage Doors resist the severest storms.
