Customer Reviews for Clopay Gallery Steel Long Panel 8 ft x 7 ft Insulated 18.4 R-Value Wood Look Medium Garage Door with SQ24 Windows

Have only had door for 5 days but so far a great addation to our house. Should have changed it years ago. Added window which lets so much light in the garage and the sound from out side and noise when opening and closing reduction is great.

The house we bought had uninsulated plain white garage doors. As with a lot of houses, our garage is the prominent feature of the house front. We researched garage door companies and found Clopay to have a great reputation. We were able to find faux wood doors with windows that perfectly matched our new mahogany wood front door. We upgraded to the Intellicore insulation with Medallian hardware and now our garage is warm and quiet when in operation, all for a great price. These garage doors have completely changed the look of our house-- it is now beautiful and inviting!

I’m very happy with my new Gallery Collection Steel door. It was very easy to install, but not my first time doing it either, and looks great. Up only a few hours before the neighbors all we’re asking about it and telling how much they liked it. Very happy that I decided upon the windows as well. Adds light to the garage. This is Model number GR2LU in a 16’x7’, 18.4R value 2” thick door.

My new garage door was the perfect compliment to our re done home. The faux wood selections and many window selections made it very fun to choose a door. Great looking door, quiet and well insulated too!

Love the look and quality of the door. The window grills are cheap plastic otherwise I would have rated a 5 star. I got the 32 inch radius on the track and love the headroom inside

My wife and I could not be more impressed with our new garage doors. We replaced 29 year old compressed wooden doors and the difference is stunning! Not just in curb appeal, but in the difference in insulation of the garage. The 18.4 R Value has made a tremendous difference. By far the best upgrade investment we have made so far in our new home!!! Thoroughly impressed with our Clopay doors!!

My garage has completely changed with the new installation. More light without the heat, due to the insulated glass. The garage seems to be cooler, with the insulated panels.

I just installed three GD1LP 10x7 walnut finish garage doors on a customers home and they loved how the new doors increased the curb appeal of the home tremendously. The customer loved all of the options they could choose from with the help of our salesman. They said it was a difficult decision to choose between all of the possible colors, woodtones, and window options. Then came all of the insulation options. They were happy to see there was an insulation value for all budgets. They also wanted to thank Clopay for all of their amazing products and their vision for the future.

Happy with the quality of the door. The installers were wonderful. Please with there work. Only problem I had the color wasn't as dark as display. And the color didn't match our other two door purchase same place. Set of double doors and one single.

The door has completely lived up to our expectations. We changed out our windowless insulated steel door with a Clopay windowed, super (R18) insulated, door. With the windows, our garage is much brighter inside now, especially on sunny winter days as our house face south. The sun coming through the windows in the winter helps warm the cars on cold sunny days. In our Minnesota winters the garage is staying 5 - 10 degrees warmer than with the old door. It stays around 40 degrees inside the garage when it's below zero outside--without a heater. Our garage is about 50% tuck under. If you keep your garage closed, like us, in the summer the super insulated door contains the heat of the cars and keeps the garage quite warm. We installed the door ourselves using the video provided, along with the instruction manual. We completed removal and installation in one day. The top windowed panel is very heavy so we needed the assistance of a young, strong, neighbor to help lift it into place. Other than that, my wife and I did the installation ourselves. We are very please with the door and it has really enhanced the appearance of our house.

We are so extremely happy with the updated curb appeal thay our new garage doors have given our house as well as the insulation factor which makes such a huge difference! We love the light that comes in from the windows in the doors! Of course our installer Trapp Doors was excellent!

We looked at a number of different door manufacturers and chose Clopay because of the value offered in superior styling options. We selected a Steel Gallery, 3-layer Intellicore insulation with an Arch grille window, lift handles, step plate and strap hinges. We knew this selection of door options would be a superior look to our old door, but we never imagined how much positive feedback we'd receive from our neighbors and friends. Our Clopay door has very noticeably improved the look of our home and it shields out the cold/heat and the traffic noise from the street.

We are so delighted with our new garage door. We did not realize what a dramatic effect the new door would have on our house. Not only was the service to order it wonderful, but easy to order, as well. We made the bold change to order the door in black with windows to match the shutters on the house. The Clopay app allowed us to make these changes online by seeing what the house would look like before ordering the door. I have attached the "before" and "after" photos. Also, the new insulated door is much quieter. We could not be happier!

I have 5 wood colored Gallery garage doors total. Three on the house, and two on the detached garage. All were a new construction professional install, 12/2014. In the last 2.5 years, both the detached garage doors have been replaced two times because of delamination issues. Now on the third set and adfter a few months, no issues yet. I have been working through the professional installer so far, but it takes 2-3 months to receive the replacements. I do not know how long the replacements will last. We just hope the manufacturer's warranty starts over with every install and that Clopay doesn't discontinue the door color/style!

Top right window cracked 2 weeks after installation; I did not notice it at the time the installation was completed. When I saw it first time was 3" long and 6 weeks later the crack is all across. There is no warranty for broken windows.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Replaced a +30 year old wooden door with this one. Much heavier and solid. Definitely quieter from outside noise.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great solid door and should keep my garage from freezing in the winter, plus cooler in the summer. Neighbors have given great reviews about how the door improves the looks of the house. Should last my life time, therefore money well spent.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new door. Very sturdy and insulated. It updated our exterior tremendously.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had loads of compliments and am very glad for the decision to go with the very attractive Gallery Insulated series. It is extremely well made and is obviously a great product. Thanks Clopay!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were extremely pleased with the style, look, and quality of our Clopay garage doors.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Totten and Son did the installation and he did a great job. I would highly recommend them!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Installation Instructions where easy to follow. Doors look great and operate smoothly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Solid heavy duty steel door with great insulation.

Seems to be well built. Had issues with extended build lead time. And 2 panels had manufactured defects. Still waiting on replacement panels. Well insulated. Dampens noises from outside along with keeping it warmer inside the garage.(it came in late December) Good appearance. Have to wait for summer months to see how well it holds up and dampens higher temperatures outside.

Great door very high quality. I can already feel the difference in temperature because of the R-value

The door is so quiet when opening & closing & makes a huge difference in our home's curb appeal.

We are very happy with our new garage doors. They match our house perfectly. I have noticed that the temperature in my garage, when it was 32 degrees outside, was 10 degrees warmer according to the thermometer. We have had the doors for a few weeks and they appear to be of good quality. We expect many years of excellent service and curb appeal from our Clopay doors!

I am very impressed by the construction and appearance of the wood grain doors. They resemble real wood so well that you have to get up close to see they are metal. The doors are extremely durable yet light weight and fit the door opening perfectly.

We selected this door primarily for its R-value rating of 18.4. Our garage door faces more or less west and gets the full afternoon sun. The garage used to heat up rapidly in the sun with the 35 year old steel door that was only insulated with an aftermarket pad. The installer did a great job when he installed the weatherstrip that comes with the door and adjusted the door so it sels on the left, top and right sides. The door uses a very generously sized weatherstrip on the lower edge. This door is well air sealed. The outer and inner steel skins are thermally isolated from each other. That helps greatly with the insulation. The inner skin of the door remains cool to the touch even with the hot summer sun beating on the exterior. It is slightly warmer where one door panel abuts the panel above or below. This is a huge improvement over the old door. Both the inside and outside steel door panels have a superb finish coating. The only thing I wish we had done differently would be to have bought this door years ago. I am looking forward to winter as I know the garage will be much warmer then.

The garage doors look great and so far work well. We had some track alignment issues at first, but they came out and fixed it as it was covered under their 1 year warranty. We'll see how well they do past the 1 year warranty... Also this review asked me to include the type of insulation and I have no clue, my quote doesn't say. So I'm just selecting one.
