Bend's climate presents unique challenges for garage doors: freezing winters, hot summers, significant temperature swings, and occasional heavy snow. Choosing the right door can significantly impact your comfort and energy bills.
Insulation: The Most Important Factor
For Central Oregon, we recommend a minimum R-value of 12 for attached garages. Higher R-values (16-18) provide even better performance.
Best Materials for Bend Climate
Steel with Polyurethane Insulation
Our top recommendation. Steel doors with polyurethane insulation offer excellent R-values (12-18), durability, and low maintenance.
Composite Materials
A great alternative that won't warp, crack, or rot. More expensive but virtually maintenance-free.
