Your garage door represents up to 40% of your home's front façade. Replacing an outdated, drafty door with a Canadian-engineered insulated carriage or contemporary glass door dramatically boosts curb appeal, security, and winter thermal comfort.

The ultimate blend of durability, high thermal insulation, and exceptional value. 3-layer steel construction resistant to Ontario denting and freeze cycles.
In Southern Ontario, an uninsulated or poorly insulated garage door is equivalent to leaving a massive picture window wide open all winter. Cold lakefront drafts from Lake Ontario and Lake Erie penetrate hollow doors, freezing water lines, making garage workshops uninhabitable, and leaving master bedrooms above the garage bitterly cold. Acme installs Canadian-manufactured polyurethane doors engineered to solve these exact problems.

If your garage is attached to your home with only an interior door separating the space, an R-16.3 door provides outstanding thermal comfort. It keeps garage air 10°C to 14°C above outdoor ambient temperatures, preventing vehicle batteries from draining and slashing heating losses across interior dividing walls.
If you have a bedroom, home office, or nursery built over top of the garage, choose R-18. Its mechanical thermal breaks eliminate conductive heat loss through the steel frame, keeping upstairs hardwood and carpet floors warm all winter long while eliminating sub-zero wind infiltration.
