Construction & insulation options
We’ll go over a few options so you can decide what makes the most sense for your home and budget.

- Insulated: Better comfort, reduced drafts, and a quieter door
- Higher R-value: Improved thermal performance and extra rigidity in the sections

Where carriage house doors work best
