Garage Doors Designed for the Thompson-Shuswap Climate
Garage Doors Designed for the Thompson-Shuswap Climate
The Thompson-Shuswap asks a lot from a garage door. Kamloops summers cook south-facing doors at 40°C, the Shuswap sees long humid stretches that warp lesser doors, and Merritt and Logan Lake winters can push -30°C. A door that works beautifully on the coast may fade, warp, or fatigue in five years here. Choosing the right door matters.
For most Thompson-Shuswap homes, we recommend polyurethane-insulated steel doors with R-12 to R-18 ratings and factory-baked UV-stable finishes. They hold their temperature in both directions, resist the fading and cracking our summer sun causes, and stand up to the thermal cycling that breaks down lesser doors. We carry Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, CHI, and Garaga - all with interior-BC-appropriate spec options.
Every installation starts with a free on-site consultation. We measure, discuss how you use the garage, look at your home's exterior style, and recommend doors that match both the climate and the aesthetic. The install itself typically takes 4-6 hours and includes old-door removal and disposal, precise fitting and alignment, opener setup, and a full walkthrough. Every new door comes with 2 years of free maintenance - built into the price.

Frequently Asked Questions
What insulation rating do you recommend for the Thompson-Shuswap?
R-12 at minimum for Kamloops and Chase, R-16 to R-18 for Merritt, Salmon Arm, and Logan Lake. Polyurethane cores outperform polystyrene in both thermal performance and structural rigidity.
How long does installation take?
Most installations finish in 4-6 hours. Complex retrofits or custom doors may take a full day.
How much does a new door cost?
Basic insulated steel doors start around $1,200 installed. Premium insulated doors with designer finishes range $2,500-$4,000+. Free on-site estimates for every project.
What finishes hold up best to Thompson-Shuswap sun?
Factory-baked polyester and powder-coat finishes far outlast painted or vinyl-overlay options. For darker colours, we recommend UV-stabilized finishes specifically - standard dark finishes fade noticeably within 5 years in our climate.
Do you remove the old door?
Yes, removal and disposal is included in every installation price.
