Sales Team in Blue Shirts at the Booth
At Booth 125, Wayne Dalton’s expert sales team engaged with dealers, customers and other industry experts who stopped by to learn more about our latest innovations, such as the recently launched Luminous™ all-glass garage door and upcoming
Garage Door Design Center App. In addition, all booth visitors were given the chance to sign up to win an iPad air!
Glass Doors
At IDA, attendees were given an exclusive sneak peek of Wayne Dalton's most revolutionary door yet: Luminous. Available for residential (Model 8450) and commercial (Model 464) installation, many dealers raved about its versatility and curb appeal, with
one dealer saying Luminous has that "WOW WOW factor."
Model 464 in the Booth
Luminous is leading the industry with new design options to seamlessly integrate indoor and outdoor spaces as demand increases throughout the construction market. Overall, versatility was a big trend seen at the expo, with common garage door applications
including contemporary homes, restaurants, patio decks and urban office environments.
Rolling Door Systems
Additional doors showcased at IDA included selections from Wayne Dalton's line of Rolling Door Systems: Rolling Grille Model 600 and FireStar® Model 700. Attendees were able to see the new Emergency Egress operator from Genie on a Wayne Dalton Model 600, as well as the forward-thinking design of the FireStar® Model 700 that outperforms industry fire doors in all areas, including smooth, quiet operation.
