The Thermacore 598 Series is an exceptionally well-built door that provides a higher level of thermal protection than standard insulated doors. Thermacore's CFC-free, fully encapsulated, foamed-in-place panel maintains R-value performance year-round - and year-in and year-out. Fabricated using Overhead Door Corporation's proprietary, computer-controlled manufacturing process, the 598 Series adheres to strict product tolerances and quality standards - making it a solid choice for projects where economy and energy efficiency are equally important.
Strong, Lightweight, Attractive and Durable.
The Thermacore 598 features .012" (.31 mm) roll-formed, hot-dipped galvanized steel exterior panels. Two coats of white baked-on, polyester paint on the interior and exterior provide a handsome finish that will last for years. Our 8-year limited warranty against delamination means that we'll stand behind the quality of our doors at the outset and for the long haul.
Superior Field Serviceability.
Thermacore's special internal construction allows hinges to be placed anywhere along the panel's length, permitting customization on the job site - for fast and precise installation, repair or retrofit.
Engineered for Higher Thermal Efficiency.
Thermacore's CFC-free, fully encapsulated, foamed-in-place panel maintains R-value performance year-round - and year-in and year-out. Overlapping and tight-fitting, heavy-duty fixtures and "hot melt" thermal break minimize air infiltration and provide the highest thermal efficiency ratings in the industry in its class.
More Options for Enhanced Versatility.
The Thermacore 598 is available in sizes up to 16'2" (4,928 mm) wide and 14'1" (4,293 mm) high. A full line of electric operators ensures precise and trouble-free motor operation in a variety of mounting options (side, center or trolley). Available options include thermal glazing, high-cycle springs, header and jamb seals.
Thermacore's steel-polyurethane-steel sandwich panel construction is lightweight, incredibly strong and exceptionally efficient - reflecting a level of thermal performance that is available only in Overhead Door Corporation's Thermacore line.
