                           Panel Collection
DALLAS--(Business Wire)--
Overhead Door Corporation, the nation's leading manufacturer of
overhead doors and openers for residential, commercial and industrial
construction applications, today announced the introduction of the
EcoBuilt(TM) product line. This product line features two new garage
door collections, The Verde Collection(TM) and the Traditional Panel
Collection(TM). These doors are now available through Overhead Door's
nationwide network of Ribbon(R) distributors. The EcoBuilt(TM) product
line is a result of Overhead Door recently acquiring ANKMAR assets.
These two new door collections from Overhead Door enhance its product
offerings to include a line that is naturally beautiful,
environmentally friendly and durable.

   Offering the look and feel of handcrafted wood, The Verde
Collection(TM) features four styles: Yosemite(TM), Acadia(TM),
Presidio(TM) and Tahoe(TM), available in a variety of patterns and
with several window and decorative hardware options. The Verde
Collection(TM) doors feature steel integrated meeting rails and can be
purchased with or without insulation.

   The New Traditional Panel Collection(TM) features a clean look
with distinctive raised panel or flush door designs. The collection
offers four panel designs: Smooth, Woodgrain, Long and Flush, giving
customers numerous customization options. An optional insulation
package can be added for optimal energy efficiency.

   "Our newest collections provide consumers with naturally
beautiful, durable and environmentally friendly garage doors," said
Jason Moreno, product manager of residential door systems for Overhead
Door.

   EcoBuilt(TM) garage door panels are SCS(R) (Scientific
Certification Systems) certified to use a minimum of 88 percent
recycled content and outperform wood in tests of weather and time,
resisting splitting, warping, cracking and bending. They are easy to
install and come prepped for painting, eliminating the need for
exterior priming.

   As seen with the newest collections, Overhead Door is continuing
to add value to its products through environmentally friendly
construction and beautiful, reliable designs.
