Wayne-Dalton featured in KB Home GreenHouse: An Idea Home Created with Martha Stewart
Wayne-Dalton's most expressive model, Model 9700, will be unveiled in the KB Home GreenHouse™: An Idea Home Created with Martha Stewart at the January 2011 International Builders' Show in Orlando, Fla.
Model 9700 will be featured in the stylish Westfield design with six square windows and Aspen decorative exterior hardware. Model 9700 steel garage doors provide increased energy efficiency with an R-10 insulation value. To create a complete door system, the door will be paired with the Genie ® ReliaG ™ 800 opener, which offers the quiet yet powerful 1/2 HPc Power Plus motor for smooth and reliable operation.
"In addition to a high insulation value, the 9700 provides hundreds of customizable design combinations with color, styles, windows, and decorative hardware. It's an ideal choice for builders and homeowners who want to match the garage door to the home's architecture," said Dave Osso, Wayne-Dalton brand manager. "Anything Martha Stewart is involved with features great looks and attention-to-detail, so the Model 9700 garage door is a perfect match for this type of home."
In addition to the design being influenced by Martha Stewart, one of the country's leading lifestyle experts, the KB Home GreenHouse is to be the first net-zero energy, single-family home in the Builder Magazine Concept Home series. The KB Home GreenHouse will also demonstrate to consumers that this environmentally friendly home not only saves energy and water through the use of solar and thermal systems and meeting EPA's WaterSense for new homes specifications, but can also save them money for years to come by reducing energy bills.
"Teaming up with KB Home, one of country's premier homebuilders, and incorporating Martha's incomparable style and eye for functionality has been a fantastic experience," said Boyce Thompson, editorial director for Builder Magazine. "We're always looking for new ways to showcase the latest and greatest in building technology and KB Home's efficient designs and industry leadership in the field of green building have allowed us to do exactly that."
The home will open for tours in Orlando, Fla., on Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2011, to coincide with the International Builder's Show, the world's largest building industry tradeshow.
In addition to live on-site tours, a virtual tour will be available. To learn more about this year's Builder Magazine Concept Home and register to take a tour, visit www.builderconcepthome2011.com.
