When homeowners in Gulf Breeze, FL added two new garages to their property, they turned to American Garage Door for help selecting garage doors that would match the modern look of their home. Our role focused on guiding them through product choices and ensuring the selected doors would deliver both style and performance for their new spaces.
After reviewing options, the homeowners selected the Wayne Dalton Model 8350 from the Classic Steel collection. This model is known for its sleek, flush-panel design and contemporary, non-textured surface. The metallic finish choices, including Black Frost, Silver, and Bronze, gave the homeowners a range of looks that complement modern architecture while increasing curb appeal.
The Model 8350 is more than appearance. It is built with a steel sandwich construction and polyurethane foamed-in-place insulation, which gives it an R-value of 12.12. That level of thermal efficiency helps reduce energy costs year-round and also serves as a sound barrier to reduce street noise, making the garages quieter and more comfortable for projects or storage.
For day-to-day operation, the door includes silent-glide nylon rollers. Those components are designed to provide smooth, quiet movement and long-lasting performance. Quiet operation is an important benefit in attached or nearby living spaces, and the rollers help keep the doors working reliably over time.
Because code compliance and durability matter in Florida, these doors were customized with WindSafe® reinforcement and impact-resistant glass. The impact-resistant windows meet strict Florida Building Code standards, providing an approved solution for areas where reinforced openings are required.
American Garage Door worked with the homeowners to match the door style and finish to their home, and to confirm the right level of insulation and reinforcement for their needs. The combination of the Model 8350s modern aesthetic, high R-value, quiet operation, and code-compliant impact options resulted in a solution that enhances the new garages visually while addressing performance and safety requirements.
This garage door selection and customization project in Gulf Breeze, FL shows how the right product choice can boost curb appeal and add practical benefits like energy efficiency and sound reduction. We were glad to help the homeowners find a door that reflects their home and meets the technical standards they required.
