Amarr offers CE approved garage doors. CE approved doors are primarily sold in Europe.What is a CE approved garage door?In simple terms, a CE marking is a safety declaration by the manufacturer that a product has passed specific safety standards or directives set by the European Union. In order to receive CE approval, Amarr products were successfully tested in Europe by an approved testing facility. Countries within the EU mandate garage door vendors to carry & install only CE approved products.Sectional overhead doors fall under the Construction Products Directive EN13241-1 which provides the prescriptive and performance requirements for which garage doors must comply. Manufacturers who meet these requirements may apply a CE label to their products. Amarr has upgraded specific hardware components and added safety devices in order to pass and receive CE approval. All CE approved doors sold by Amarr include a CE label per specific EN requirements.Which Amarr models are CE approved?The following garage door models manufactured by Amarr Garage Doors have specific upgraded hardware components to conform with EN 13241-1:2003 Industrial, Commercial and Garage Doors and Gates- Product Standard when installed per drawings:Available Residential Products:Amarr ClassicaAmarr Oak SummitAmarr HeritageAmarr StratfordAvailable Commercial Products:Amarr 1000*Amarr 1380Amarr 2000*Amarr 2400*Amarr 2500*Amarr 2700** Doors must be at least 2.5 meters tall.

ENERGY EFFICIENCYA garage door opening is the largest moving object in your home. Insulated doors will help to reduce the transfer of heat or cold air into your garage. This is important for a number of reasons:1) If your garage is attached to your home, air in the garage can travel through the doorway to your living area. An insulated garage door will reduce the transfer of air from the outside to the inside.2) If you use your garage as a workshop, your comfort will be a top priority. An insulated garage door will help keep the temperature in the garage within a narrower temperature range as compared to the extreme range of the outside temperature.3) If your garage is below another room in your home, air can travel through the ceiling of the garage into the floor of the room above. An insulated door will keep temperatures in the garage fairly stable to reduce the temperature fluctuation in the room above.4) An insulated garage door is generally quieter and has a more attractive interior than a non-insulated door.

What is R-Value?R-Value is a measure of thermal resistance used in the building and construction industry. Specifically, R-value is thermal resistance to heat flow. Many manufacturers use R-values to show the energy efficiency of their product. This number is calculated based on the thickness of the insulation and its chemical properties.The higher the R-value number, the better the insulating properties of the material. However, an R-16 value is not twice as good as an R-8 Value. R-16 does not offer twice as much thermal resistance or twice the energy savings of an R-8 value. A value of R-16 offers a 5% reduction in heat flow and a 5% improvement energy efficiency than a value of R-8, not 50%. See chart below for R-Value comparisons.

A door’s insulating capabilities can be greatly affected by the door’s construction. For that reason, Amarr’s insulated doors are built to maximize energy efficiency. Our thermal break, door section construction and insulation help keep your garage as comfortable as possible.Effective January 1, 2009, the Door and Access System Manufacturers Association (DASMA), which represents over 90% of the door and access systems manufacturers in the US and Canada, put into effect a voluntary standard for manufacturers to list R-values in accordance with DASMA Technical Data Sheet (TDS) #163.
