Competitors' Disadvantage
(Competitor Door)
|
|
|
|
 |
bp - Aluminum Alloy: High tensile strength at 38 ksi and double the rigidity of standard alloy. |
 |
Standard (6063) Aluminum Alloy: Much weaker and 1/2 the tensile strength of BP - Aluminum Alloy. |
|
Narrow Intermediate Mullions: Cleaner architectural lines, showing more glass and less structure. |
|
Wide Intermediate Mullions: Shows less glass, more frame, and is visually less appealing (See above, marked by arrows). |
|
Heavier Wall Thickness: Allows for more weight and wider glass panels, with little to no deflection. (Ex. Our door has 250 lbs of aluminum vs. a competitor's 100 lbs. |
|
Thinner Wall Thickness: Causes major vertical and horizontal deflection, which requires unsightly struts that can be seen through the glass.
(See above, as marked by red arrows) |
|
Factory Direct Manufacturing Speed: By strictly focusing on Glass Garage Doors and Entry Doors, our manufacturing time is the best in the industry. |
|
Not Factory Direct: Orders are placed through a distributor, and can take 6-10 weeks. |
|
Factory Direct Installation (CA, AZ, NV, FL & Optional in all other states): A factory specified installation produces a smoother and longer lasting garage door. |
|
Not Factory Installation: An installer other than the factory may not have the expertise or take the time needed to meet a factory specified installation. |
|
Customization: Our customers can request specific panel sizes, quantities, height of each section, tapered bottom / top sections, and reveal of frame around the door. |
|
Limited Customization: Our competitors are not set up to accommodate customers' special requests. |
|
Complementing Entry Doors: We can manufacture Entry Doors and Side Gates with single or multiple glass panels to match your Glass Garage Door. Custom Lock hardware can also be acommodated. |
|
No Complementing Entry Doors: Our competitors are not set up to accommodate customers' special requests. |
|
Stainless Steel 11-gauge Hinges: Laser cut, heavy duty hinges for an extra clean Architectural finish.
Note: Stainless Hinges do not require lubrication. |
|
Standard Mild Steel Hinges: Thinner 14 to 18 gauge galvanized hinges are weaker, may break under typical glass weights, and require constant lubrication. |
|
Stainless Steel Rollers: Heavy Duty, sealed, water resistant rollers of 500lb load capacity each, with no lubrication required. |
|
Standard Metal or Nylon Rollers: 50lb. load capacity each, non sealed, and require constant lubrication. |
|
Zinc Plated or Stainless Steel Springs: Rust resistant and do not require lubrication. |
|
Standard Springs: Raw oil tempered springs rust and require constant lubrication. |
|
Concealed Stiffening Struts: Stronger, lighter, and are hidden as part of the door rail, which won't be seen from the outside. |
|
Standard Metal Struts: Weak, heavy, surface mounted, and can be seen through glass. (See above, marked by arrows). |
|
Custom Glass and Frame Colors: Over 200 types of custom glass, powder coated colors, and panels to choose from. |
|
Limited Glass and Color Options: A few standard glazing types and color options. |
|
Architectural Weather Stripping: Made from 3 part extruded aluminum, commercial Santoprene, and installed with concealed fasteners. |
|
Typical Residential Weather Stripping: Made entirely of poor quality vinyl with exposed nails which rust. |
|
Custom Tapered Sections: Top and/or bottom sections/panels for out of square driveways and openings. (See picture gallery) |
|
Standard Rectangular Sections: May otherwise leave large gaps at the floor and header. |
|
Commercial Duty Hardware: High capacity, long lasting, with minimum lubrication or service required. |
|
Standard Residential Hardware: Low capacity , which wears out quickly; requiring constant lubrication, and costly service calls. |
|
Extremely Quiet Operation: Due to the use of premium components, noise-causing friction is dramaticaly reduced. |
|
Typical Noisy Operation: Attributed to cheap components, and out of square track; which cause friction and costly repairs. |
|
What Makes bp The Best Glass Door: In addition to the reasons above, proprietary fabrication methods and classified materials have been incorporated to produce our highly regarded glass doors. |
|
Why Others Can't Compare: Manufacturers that mass-produce a wide variety of other types of doors are catering to a less discriminating market. In most cases, quality is compromised for quantity. |
You get what you pay for! Quality enginneered and tested designs for over 55 years in business!
The bp Experience : Purchasing a sectional garage door from us is just a lot simpler. We manufacture, install, and warranty our own product. |
