Understanding How A Glass Garage Door Meets The Energy Code Be mindful about the misconception; that installing a door with “Insulated Glass” makes it code compliant. In Fact… It Does NOT! If you can’t keep “Air” or Water from leaking in or out of a frame, what’s the point? Fenestration products must be tested “as a whole system” vs. relying on the data of (1) type of glazing panel alone... The test results must be certified by an independent third party laboratory. Certified products adhere to a rigorous quality assurance procedure and are re-certified every (2) years. Anything else, is false advertising! IECC - (INTERNATIONAL ENERGY CONSERVATION CODE) Section 083613: Glazed Sectional Doors Where the 2012 IECC energy codes at conditioned spaces are applicable, only the BP - Glass Garage Doors (US & Intl. Pat.) can comply with 2012 IECC.C402.4.3 Maximum Air Infiltration Rate for Fenestration Assemblies of 0.40 CFM/SQ.FT. (at 1.57 PSF [25 MPH]). Currently, no other manufacturer of aluminum and glass sectional doors can comply with the air infiltration requirements of 2012 IECC. BP Glass Garage Doors are NFRC rated, and can provide required labeling for IECC code compliance. This proves to all building officials, plan checkers, inspectors, and energy analyst; that our product complies to the New Energy Code.
We would like to point out, bp - Glass Garage Doors & Entry Systems, Inc. is an OEM manufacturer of glass garage doors that has NFRC Licensed, and certified results; for air leakage resistance (NFRC-400), and U-factor (NFRC-100). These results comply with the General Notes of the building plan requirements, and of course, meet your adopted code. You can find these results along with certified ratings for U-factor, SHGC, and VT in the “Certified Products Database” (CPD) on the NFRC website - www.nfrc.org. We can also provide certified testing results from our Architectural Testing Lab, if needed. Be prepared when your Building Inspector / Plan Checker verifies that a compliant building product is being used; to seal the building envelope! Energy efficiency and conservation; (from CA’s Title 24 to the European Energy Code) are key issues facing the design and construction industry today. We want to educate, and make sure that the final Building Materials, actually meet code. Specifically, the requirements for enclosing the building envelope; dictated by the (NFRC), are essential in providing an energy efficient shell, while still maintaining necessary ingress, egress, and daylight conditions. Openings that require certified Air Infiltration Rated Products to be easily identified by the following Examples:
1. Any door or window that is enclosing the building’s envelope must comply with the applicable building code requirements and energy efficiency standards. Examples: If you ever find a glass garage door in an Office, Storefront, Commercial Space, Restaurant or Patio, Work Shop, Bar Top, Living Rm, or Loft Space, they must have certified air leakage resistance ratings. Another would be any space that has an HVAC system in place, and a Glass Garage Door sealing the Exterior Building Envelope.
2. A temporary label (for inspection purposes; with certified results) demonstrates compliance to the
building inspector or enforcement agency. Below is a sample of bp – Glass Garage Doors & Entry Systems temporary label, for your reference. A permanent label is also required. Permanent labels are issued for Certified Products directly from the NFRC Licensing Agreement, and placed on the bottom interior of the building product. So, if there is no label, the product does not comply.
We would like to make sure that the Stated Building Code requirements; adopted by your City, are being understood by your Building Inspectors. We wish to assist you in complying with inspectors in that effort. Below is a copy of the Code section which Building Inspectors should be aware of. We hope this helps educate.

Glass Garage Doors"The Architect's Choice"
bp Advantages (Our Door)
Competitors' Disadvantage (Competitor Door)
BP- Aluminum Alloy: High tensile strength at 38 ksiand double the rigidity of standard alloy.
Standard (6063) Aluminum Alloy: Much weaker and
1/2 the tensile strength of BP - Aluminum Alloy.
Narrow Intermediate Mullions: Cleanerarchitectural lines, showing more glass and less structure.
Wide Intermediate Mullions: Shows less glass, moreframe, and is visually less appealing (See above, marked by arrows).
Heavier Wall Thickness: Allows for more weightand wider glass panels, without deflection. (Ex. Our door has 250 lbs of aluminum vs. a competitor's 100 lbs.)
Thinner Wall Thickness: Causes vertical and horizontal deflection, which requires stiffening strutsthat can be seen through the glass.(See above, as marked by red arrows)
Factory Direct Manufacturing Speed: By strictlyfocusing on Glass Garage Doors and Entry Doors, our manufacturing time is the best in the industry.
Not Factory Direct: Orders are placed through a distributor, and can take 6-10 weeks.
Factory Direct Installation (CA, AZ, NV, FL & Optional in all other states): A factory specifiedinstallation produces a smoother and longer lastinggarage door.
Not Factory Installation: An installer other than the factory may not have the expertise or take the time needed to meet a factory specified installation.
Customization: Our customers can request specificpanel sizes, quantities, height of each section,tapered bottom / top sections, and reveal of frame around the door.
Limited Customization: Our competitors are not set up to accommodate customers' special requests.
Complementing Entry Doors: We can manufactureEntry Doors and Side Gates with single or multiple glass panels to match your Glass Garage Door.Custom Lock hardware can also be accommodated.
No Complementing Entry Doors: Our competitors
are not set up to accommodate customers' specialrequests.
Stainless Steel 11-gauge Hinges: Laser cut, heavyduty hinges for an extra clean Architectural finish. Note: Stainless Hinges do not require lubrication.
Standard Mild Steel Hinges: Thinner 14 to 18 gaugegalvanized hinges are weaker, may break under typical glass weights, and require constant lubrication.
Stainless Steel Rollers: Heavy Duty, sealed, waterresistant rollers of 500lb load capacity each, with nolubrication required.
Standard Metal or Nylon Rollers: 50lb. load capacityeach, non sealed, and require constant lubrication.
Zinc Plated or Stainless Steel Springs: Rust resistant and do not require lubrication.
Standard Springs: Raw oil tempered springs rust andrequire constant lubrication.
Concealed Stiffening Struts: Stronger, lighter, and are hidden as part of the door rail, which won't be seen from the outside.
Standard Metal Struts: Weak, heavy, surface mounted, and can be seen through glass. (See above,marked by arrows).
Custom Glass and Frame Colors: Over 200 typesof custom glass, powder coated colors, and panelsto choose from.
Limited Glass and Color Options: A few standardglazing types and color options.
Architectural Weather Stripping: Made from 3 partextruded aluminum, commercial Santoprene, and installed with concealed fasteners.
Typical Residential Weather Stripping: Made entirely of poor quality vinyl with exposed nails which rust.
Custom Tapered Sections: Top and/or bottom sections/panels for out of square driveways andopenings. (See picture gallery)
Standard Rectangular Sections: May otherwise leavelarge gaps at the floor and header.
Commercial Duty Hardware: High capacity, long lasting, with minimum lubrication or service required.
Standard Residential Hardware: Low capacity , which wears out quickly; requiring constant lubrication, andcostly service calls.
Extremely Quiet Operation: Due to the use of premium components, noise-causing friction is dramatically reduced.
Typical Noisy Operation: Attributed to cheapcomponents, and out of square track; which causefriction and costly repairs.
What Makes bp the best: In addition to the reasonsabove, proprietary fabrication methods and classifiedmaterials have been incorporated to produce our highly regarded glass doors.
Why Others Can't Compare: Manufacturers that mass-produce a wide variety of other types of doors are catering to a less discriminating market. In most cases,quality is compromised for quantity.
You get what you pay for! Quality engineered and tested designs for over 55 years in business!
The Experience :Purchasing a sectional garage door from us is just a lot simpler. We manufacture, install, and warranty our own product.
bp Glass Garage Doors GLOSSARY
1. Air Infiltration: Is the unintentional or accidental introduction of outside air into a building, typically
through cracks in the building envelope and through use of doors for passage. Infiltration is sometimes
called air leakage. The leakage of room air out of a building, intentionally or not, is called exfiltration.
2. Aluminum Extrusion: A technique used to transform aluminum alloy into objects with a definitive cross‐
sectional profile for a wide range of uses. The extrusion process makes the most of aluminum's unique
combination of physical characteristics.
3. Anodizing: Is "a process to electronically coat a metallic surface with a protective or decorative oxide."
The anodic coating consists of hydrated aluminum oxide and is considered resistant to corrosion and
abrasion.
4. Cable Drums: A cable reel is a round, drum‐shaped object such as a spool used to carry various types of
electrical wires, and fiber optic cables and wire products.
5. Conduit: A channel for conveying water or other fluid.
6. Counter Balance: A weight that balances another weight.
7. Cyclic Wind Pressure: Wind load rated glass
8. Deflection: The degree to which a structural element is displaced under a load.
9. Fenestration: The arrangement of windows and doors on the elevations of a building.
10. Glazing: Panes or sheets of glass set or made to be set in frames, as in windows, doors, or mirrors.(Glass)
11. Insulated Glazing: Insulated glazing (IG), more commonly known as double glazing (or double‐pane, and
increasingly triple glazing/pane) is double or triple glass window panes separated by a vacuum or gas filled
space to reduce heat transfer across a part of the building envelope
12. Masonry: work done using stone, brick, or concrete, Ex: Stone‐Tilted Buildings.
13. Metal Fabrication: Metal fabrication is the building of metal structures by cutting, bending, and
assembling processes. It is a value added process that involves the construction of machines and
structures from various raw materials.
14. Missile Impact: Impact rated glass.
15. Mullions: A vertical bar between the panes of glass in a window.
16. Sheet steel/metal: Metal formed by an industrial process into thin, flat pieces.
17. Stiles and Rails: The vertical members of the frame are called stiles while the horizontal members are
known as rails. A basic frame and panel item consists of a top rail, a bottom rail, two stiles, and a panel.
This is a common method of constructing cabinet doors and these are often referred to as a five piece
door.
18. Tensile Strength: The resistance of a material to breaking under tension.
19. Torsion Springs: a spring that works by torsion or twisting; that is, a flexible elastic object that stores mechanical energy when it is twisted. When it is twisted, it exerts a force (actually torque) in the opposite
direction, proportional to the amount (angle) it is twisted.
20. Vapor Barrier: A thin layer of impermeable material, typically polyethylene sheeting, included in building
construction to prevent moisture from damaging the fabric of the building.
