| Electra Model Overhead Door |
 The
Electra model was specially designed to produce a door of exceptional beauty, superior
strength, maximum visibility and high light transmission. Extra-strong, narrow sight line
hollow aluminum extrusions shaped and welded together produce this effect.
Only the eyes of the trained professional can detect those details of
construction that indicate superior quality. Though the architect's client and the general
public may be impressed by appearance, the architect knows that it is the unseen
quality
which extend the life and increase the customer's satisfaction. These
considerations go into every Arm-R-Lite door. |

Case Study
Arm-R-Lite has a well known client that builds outdoor recreations facilities.
They have found that the glass and aluminum doors act as a "weather
shield". This owner constantly battles his general contractors, as they
try to "substitute" lesser quality glass and aluminum overhead doors.
Simply put, he wants the heli-arc welded Arm-R-Lite door on all
of his projects. And he makes sure he gets them, because he knows that
in the long run, they will be more cost effective. |
