Intellicore Insulation Technology

Warmer. Quieter. Stronger.

Garage doors featuring Intellicore® insulation technology represent the ultimate smart choice for homeowners. Clopay’s Intellicore is a proprietary polyurethane foam that is injected into a garage door, expanding to fill the entire structure. The result is a door with incredible strength and durability. Its dense insulation also produces a quieter door, while its industry-leading R-values (up to 20.4) provide year-round comfort and improved energy efficiency. Smart, indeed.

Quieter

The dense, sound-absorbing nature of Intellicore insulated doors provide quieter operation which translates to a more peaceful living space. Simply stated, quiet operation is a hallmark of a quality door. Early morning and late night door operation wont disturb sleeping babies or pets, not to mention your neighbors.

We performed a decibel test to analyze the differences in sound when a basketball hits a garage door at a consistent speed.  The non-insulated door came in at 96 decibels, while the Intellicore door was 80 decibels. Though 16 decibels doesn’t seem like a lot, the decibel scale is logarithmic (not linear which means our Intellicore Doors are actually 3 times quieter to your ear’s perception!)

Stronger

Our engineers exhaustively tested Intellicore insulated garage door sections and found them to be nearly twice as strong as a polystyrene door section of the same thickness. This enahanced rigidity provides greater resistance to everyday wear and tear. Broadly speaking, a Clopay door with Intellicore will look better and last longer when faced with the challenges the neighborhood throws at it.
