Every year, Builder Magazine conducts the in-depth Builder Brand Use Study, where they research building product brands and manufacturers throughout the country, ranking them according to which brands builders know best and use most. Companies are ranked in four different categories: brand familiarity, most used brand, brand used most within the last two years, and product quality.
In 2016, Wayne Dalton was named the garage door brand used most among builders across the United States over the past two years. This ranking was based on a number of factors: product performance, ease of installation, strength of the manufacturer’s reputation, and product availability.
This year, we’re excited to announce that Wayne Dalton has achieved the highest ranking among garage door manufacturers in the "product quality" category! Wayne Dalton works with various garage door dealers across the country, including WD Door, and prides itself on high standards and quality craftsmanship.
Wayne Dalton originated in the mid-1900s, when Emanuel Mullet purchased a small garage door business in Ohio. Mullet started developing his business in an Amish farming community, where he and his team of skilled Amish craftsmen began assembling wooden garage doors for homes. The company expanded over the next several decades. It soon began manufacturing its own wood and steel doors for both homes and businesses.
Today, Wayne Dalton continues to expand and innovate, regularly introducing new products and technology. They now offer steel, wood, vinyl, fiberglass, and aluminum doors for homes and high-speed, rolling, and sectional doors for businesses.
