WAYNE-DALTON LAUNCHES CHERRY SONOMA MODEL 9800

Mt. Hope, Oh (May 15, 2009) – Wayne-Dalton announces the launch of its newest color and design for the popular Model 9800 fiberglass garage doors. The Cherry Sonoma features an amazing replication of real cherry wood, made possible by its fiberglass skin as produced by Therma-Tru®, the nation’s leading manufacturer of fiberglass exterior door systems. It is one of the first examples of replicating cherry wood in fiberglass.

When the AccuGrain™ fiberglass skin is applied to a Wayne-Dalton insulated, pinch resistant garage door, the result is a stunning enhancement to the look of a homeowner’s garage and ultimately, to the rest of the home.

The Sonoma design is one of the most popular in garage doors. This particular version consists of individual long panels with vertical lines spaced evenly through each panel. Combined with the unique cherry woodgrain finish, it is hard to beat the combination in terms of exquisite look and feel.

Wayne-Dalton created the industry’s first fiberglass-clad garage door, the Model 9800, with Therma-Tru’s AccuGrain® technology. AccuGrain’s superior graining process gives incredible depth and when combined with high-performance door construction, produces a natural-looking wood texture, pattern, and appearance for a garage door unlike any other.

The material also offers excellent corrosion / weathering resistance compared to steel / wood.

“We want to keep advancing the Model 9800 as the flag ship of our residential product line”, said Jeff Franklin, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Sales, Marketing, Distribution & New Business Ventures. “The addition of Cherry Sonoma provides a great combination of style and looks that gives our builders and homeowners a fantastic new option to make their homes stand out even more.”

Detailed attention has also been paid to the interior of the door, which showcases white powder-coated hinges, top brackets, and struts. Decorative hardware and window options accent the door even further.

Other outstanding features of Wayne-Dalton’s 9800 fiberglass garage doors, including the new Cherry Sonoma, are a pinch resistant design for homeowner safety and energy-saving polyurethane insulation with a 7.6 R-value.
