Industry Profile: Eden Coast

Eden Coast is a different kind of garage door company. The company emphasizes its ability to create high-quality, customizable products for its customers. This is especially useful for homeowners looking for a garage door to provide a unique touch to the exterior of their home. Eden Coast garage doors look exactly like wood, but are easily maintained and have a much longer lifespan. Learn more about Eden Coast, its principles, and its garage-door making process below.  

Guiding Principle
Eden Coast is built on one basic concept: “If you can dream it, we can build it.” The company was created in response to customers wanting more than the standard garage door options to choose from. The company’s guiding principle is what distinguishes Eden Coast from other garage door manufacturers on the market.

Finishing Process
Eden Coast uses unique finishing techniques to achieve the look of natural wood, including cedar, mahogany, oak, and others. They also will paint a door any color you want. Eden’s four-stage finishing process results in a high standard of quality found in industrial and automotive professional finishes. The finishing process is also what gives this company’s garage doors added protection from weather. Any pre-finished Eden Coast garage door is under warranty from bubbling, chalking, cracking, and peeling for five years.

Manufacturing Process and Materials
On the manufacturing and design end, Eden Coast is able to customize garage doors to fit your desires through a construction process that uses steel sections and environmentally friendly composite materials. These composite materials are made up of recycled glass and polyurethane. Underneath those, quality steel is cut into sections to meet the dimensions of your garage. The trim is a marine grade trim that’s resistant to rotting, mold, and termite damage. Heat-resistant glue is used to bond the outer materials with the steel sheets and is reinforced with mechanical fasteners. All materials are under Eden’s warranty against defects for 10 years.

Florida Door Solutions is proud to be a second-generation family-owned company that offers garage doors from a number of exceptional vendors, including Eden Coast. Call us today at (407) 378-4867 if you need a custom residential or commercial garage door.

A Guide to Commercial Door Operators

Commercial door operators serve vital purposes, including powering doors that provide security, personnel control, and product protection services. When choosing a door operator for commercial use, quality, performance, durability, and function must all be considered.

The information below will help you understand if a motor, jackshaft, trolley, or hoist operator will work best for powering the movements of your commercial door. All of the following operators are available from LiftMaster.

Motor Operators 
For commercial door applications that are used in high frequency on a daily basis, motor operators are the common choice because they’re designed to function effectively on a high-demand basis. Motor operators are known for providing strong and durable door operating solutions in high-traffic commercial applications.

Jackshaft Operators
Jackshaft operators feature a pulley system designed to power the retracting and lowering functions of rolling grill, shutter, and even industrial sectional doors. They’re often used for commercial doors that require vertical retraction or lift. Theses operators are available in light, medium, or industrial options for use on commercial doors of various weights and designs.

Trolley Operators
Trolley operators are primarily used in conjunction with standard lift commercial sectional doors. Because sectional doors come in a variety of styles, these operators are also available with powering capabilities in light, medium, or heavy-duty situations.

Hoist Operators
Hoist operators are versatile door operators meant for use in medium to heavy industrial applications. They’re often used to power commercial doors, like heavy steel rolling doors and grills. Hoist operators also provide functional power solutions for commercial-grade industrial sectional doors that require vertical or high lift.

Florida Door Solutions has an extensive collection of motor-powered and non-motor powered commercial and industrial doors. We also have all the operators mentioned above available to customers and will help you choose the best one for your application. Give us a call today at (407) 378-4867 if you need a commercial overhead door, residential garage door, or custom-made garage door.
