The Overhead Door^™ Brand's 2019 Year in Review

For the Overhead Door^™ Brand, 2019 started on a positive note with Remodeling's 2019 Cost vs. Value Report revealing garage door replacements were once again ranked one of the top returns on investment among all home improvements nationwide. As the year continued, the brand launched several leading-edge products, received national recognition for its superior products and appeared on a hit HGTV series.

Product Launches Making a Splash in 2019

●     OHD Anywhere^®. OHD Anywhere^® continues to expand its compatibility with existing products and is now fully-integrated with the Overhead Door^® Legacy^® 650/850 and Destiny^® garage door openers. The technology was made compatible with Google Home and Amazon Alexa this year, enabling users to control and monitor their garage doors by voice using a variety of commands for the ultimate convenience.

 

●     Thermacore^Ⓡ Model 196. The new Thermacore^® model features a Microgroove panel design that showcases a modern, profiled wave structure with horizontal grooves— creating a big exterior design splash, thanks to its striking light and shade effect. Model 5740 is available in three metallic colors — Black Frost, Silver, and Dark Bronze — and comes in a flush design, which boasts a smooth, non-textured finish.

 

●     Wireless Wall Console. The console reduces installation time and provides more placement flexibility than ever before. Requiring absolutely no wiring, the accessory offers customers an attractive design highlighted by an optional pulsing blue back-light.

Homeowners can press it once for a 10-second delay or press it up to three times for a maximum 30-second delay to exit the garage safely.
