Wayne Dalton Model 8224 – Classic Steel Insulated Garage Doors
The Wayne Dalton Model 8224 delivers the perfect balance of traditional design and energy-efficient performance. This insulated steel garage door is an excellent choice for homeowners in Palatine, Schaumburg, and across the Chicagoland area who want strong thermal protection, timeless styling, and long-lasting durability. Installed by Dynamic Garage Doors Inc., the Model 8224 elevates both curb appeal and comfort.
Two-Layer Insulated Garage Door Construction
Model 8224 is constructed from rugged 24-gauge exterior steel and bonded to a durable layer of polystyrene insulation. With an R-value of 7.4, this garage door improves energy efficiency for attached garages, helping reduce indoor temperature fluctuations while blocking outside noise.
The steel exterior includes a polyester topcoat finish and embossed wood-grain texture that creates a high-end look without the maintenance of real wood.
Traditional Panel Design and Styling
The Model 8224 comes in two raised panel designs:
- Colonial: Classic raised rectangular panels with symmetrical design, perfect for Colonial or Ranch-style homes
- Contemporary: Sleek, modern panels with clean horizontal lines, ideal for updated exteriors
