How Sun Exposure Affects Garage Doors
- Paint Fading: UV rays break down paint pigments, leaving dull panels.
- Warping & Cracks: Wood and composite doors expand and contract, causing splits.
- Hardware Deterioration: Metal components corrode faster under UV and heat.
- Insulation Damage: Extreme heat can reduce the effectiveness of insulated doors.
