Wayne Dalton had its humble beginnings in a weathered garage where the first garage doors were made. Today, that simplistic, weathered garage is now a state-of-the- art, 1,000,000+ square foot manufacturing facility and one of nine plants located across America. From the deep roots of the beautiful Amish farming community has grown one of the largest garage door manufacturers in the world.
Wayne Dalton was built on a dedication to ingenuity and customer service. As the business grew, so did the commitment to expanding its product lines, featuring some of the most innovative and technologically advanced residential and commercial products. This has paved the way to its enormous success where it has remained committed to being the garage door partner whose innovation drives dealer productivity and provides industry-leading garage door solutions.
From the very beginning, the founders of Wayne-Dalton looked for ways to provide the market with a product and service that customers will value. Wayne Dalton is known as one of the garage door industry’s most respected brands and has won various awards over the years for its leadership in innovation and exceedingly high standards. To continue this innovation, Wayne Dalton residential doors are sold through our leading retail partner, Lowe's.
Match Your Aesthetic and Performance Requirements
Today, Wayne Dalton offers a comprehensive product portfolio. Until recently, most homeowners looked at garage doors as little more than a way to hide cars. We took a different view. The garage door is the biggest moving object in most homes, and we want to make sure they get the respect they deserve. With a wide variety of styles and selection in steel, wood and aluminum, a Wayne Dalton garage door can help you transform a home’s exterior since it accounts for up to 30% of a home’s curb appeal. Redefine your home’s aesthetic and make a strong investment.
Wayne Dalton also offers a complete line of doors for commercial and industrial door systems that can be customized to help achieve nearly any application’s needs or aesthetic. From starting with commercial Sectional Doors, acquiring a robust Rolling Door product line and then expanding into High Speed Doors, Wayne Dalton continues to build on a long history of excellence in design by refining and adding to the commercial product line. Each commercial door is built to the highest standards with quality materials and performance for virtually any application.
