The Benefits of Canadian-Made Overhead Doors
When it comes to your garage door, quality and reliability are key. At Aurora Overhead Doors, we’re proud to offer Croskill and Upwardor, both exceptional Canadian-made garage door Manufactures in Ontario. Choosing Canadian means investing in products that are built in Canada with Canadian raw goods that are hand crafted for our unique climates in Canada.
Why Canadian-Made Matters:
- Superior Materials: Canadian manufacturers adhere to stringent North American quality standards. Croskill and Upwardor are constructed with robust steel and high-quality aluminum, using CFC-free insulation, ensuring durability and energy efficiency. This eliminates concerns about issues often found in most lower-quality offshore imports that have wavy or bubbling steel right out of the packaging. Premature fading, or the release of harmful gases from substandard insulation that is not CFC free.
- Climate Resilience: Canadian-made doors are designed to handle our harsh winters and fluctuating temperatures, providing long-lasting performance.
- Supporting the Local Economy: By choosing Canadian made, you’re supporting local jobs and businesses in Canada for generations to come.
- Avoid Tariffs: Choosing Canadian-made products, like Croskill or Upwardor, allows you to avoid the impact of tariffs on US-made goods. It keeps the money in your pocket.
At Aurora Overhead Doors, we’re committed to providing our customers with the best possible products and services. That’s why we recommend Croskill or Upwardor; both provide peace of mind and lasting value that’s built in Canada for your home.
