Garage Door and Door Cores
Graphite Polystyrene (GPS) is a high-performance solution for garage door insulation and entry door cores, offering enhanced thermal performance in thinner profiles. GPS’s high R-value, dimensional stability, and lightweight structure make it ideal for door manufacturers seeking energy efficiency, acoustic insulation, and manufacturing precision.
We provide custom-routed GPS panels for garage door inserts and precision-cut GPS door cores for use with fiberglass or metal skins, manufactured to meet tight tolerances and consistent quality standards.
Why Use GPS for Garage and Entry Doors?
GPS offers higher thermal resistance per inch than standard EPS, making it a smart choice for door systems that must meet strict energy codes or insulation requirements. Its closed-cell structure also provides noise reduction, air sealing, and moisture resistance, all while being easy to handle and cut during production.
Key Benefits of GPS for Doors
High and consistent R-values (4.7–5.1 per inch)
Custom-routed garage door inserts for exact panel fit
Sound-dampening and air filtration properties
Puncture-resistant and structurally stable
Laminated surfaces available for clean appearance
Door cores precision-cut to ±1/16″ tolerance
Ideal for lamination with fiberglass or metal skins
Lightweight for easier handling and shipping
Resistant to moisture, mold, and warping over time
