Insulated industrial doors benefit businesses throughout the Greater New Orleans area for a number of reasons.

For starters, top-of-the-line industrial doors, like the Clopay models we offer here at American Garage Door of Louisiana, offer business owners peace of mind. The strength and durability of these doors is unmatched and will protect and preserve your most valuable assets.

At the same time, our Clopay industrial doors preserve the aesthetic integrity of a business because of the many patterns available, including ribbed, flush, and embossed patterns (such as stucco and woodgrain).

But one of the most overlooked - yet important - aspects of our Clopay industrial doors is the insulated feature of these doors.

Because our Clopay Industrial Series doors are available in a wide selection of gauges for pro-grade durability, they make a great choice for businesses that incur a high level of traffic, including warehouses, distribution centers, and loading docks.

At the same time, due to their insulation properties, these doors help keep these workspaces comfortably cool through those relentless New Orleans summers.

Just think about the amount of heat generated by your workers inside, for example, a warehouse. Their health and safety depends on whether they're working in a climate-controlled space. If, however, your business isn't outfitted with insulated doors, you're likely losing cold air and allowing hot, humid New Orleans air to seep in.

Summertime is one of the best times for you to do some DIY maintenance to keep your garage door in tip-top shape for the rest of the year. Here are a few simple tasks you can do during these warm New Orleans summer days, that'll keep your garage running smoothly.

Here in the Gulf Region, we're no strangers to severe storms, including catastrophic hurricanes that can all but gut entire neighborhoods.

In the most severe of storms, you and your family can leave town. But your home (or business), sadly, cannot. If you don't prepare your home properly - through such things as hurricane shutters - you risk losing your property or valuable possessions when Mother Nature unleashes on the Greater New Orleans area.

Just imagine the type of damage that can occur when 30+ mile-per-hour winds funnel through your home.

Outfitting your New Orleans-area home or commercial property with storm panels and rolling shutters will keep your property - including fragile doors and windows - protected from these high winds, minimizing damage and helping you move forward after the storm passes through.
