Amarr 2741 Commercial Door Vancouver
The Amarr 2741 is a medium-duty commercial sectional door in 27-gauge galvanized steel with 1⅜-inch polyurethane foam insulation at R-14.5. It is the entry point into Amarr polyurethane commercial doors — suited to strata bays, light commercial, and mixed-use applications where an insulated door is needed but heavy-duty panel specs are not. CCGDS supplies and installs the 2741 across Metro Vancouver.

Where the 2741 Fits
The 2741 is the most common Amarr commercial door we install in strata industrial units across Burnaby, Surrey, Langley, and Coquitlam. These units are typically leased to contractors, light manufacturers, service businesses, and storage operations. The tenant wants a door that keeps the unit temperature reasonable in winter without paying for a heavier-gauge door that the application does not need.
At R-14.5, the 2741 noticeably outperforms a polystyrene door at R-9.4 in a heated workspace. The polyurethane foam bonds to both steel skins and does not shift or settle over time the way a polystyrene board can. For a unit that is occupied daily with the door opening and closing regularly, the 2741 holds its thermal performance better over the long term.
2741 vs. 2742 — The Insulation Thickness Difference
The 2741 and 2742 are both 27-gauge polyurethane doors — the difference is insulation thickness. The 2741 has 1⅜-inch foam at R-14.5; the 2742 has 2-inch foam at R-19.4. Both use the same panel construction and hardware. If the space is temperature-controlled or heated and energy cost is a factor, the 2742 at R-19.4 is worth the modest additional cost. For an unheated or lightly conditioned bay, the 2741 is adequate and more cost-effective.
Operator Compatibility
The 2741 is compatible with all standard commercial operators. For strata and light commercial applications we typically pair it with a LiftMaster H-Series or Manaras OPJ — operators that are reliable, quiet enough for adjacent occupied units, and available for service across Metro Vancouver. We size the spring and operator to the door dimensions at the time of installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Amarr 2741 suitable for a strata industrial unit?
Yes — the 2741 is the most common commercial door we install in Metro Vancouver strata industrial and mixed-use units. It meets standard commercial door specs, installs on existing commercial door hardware, and delivers an R-14.5 insulation upgrade over single-skin or polystyrene doors.
How does the 2741 compare to a polystyrene door?
The 2741 at R-14.5 outperforms the 2732 polystyrene door at R-9.4 in thermal retention. More importantly, the polyurethane foam is chemically bonded to the steel skins, while polystyrene is a board sitting mechanically in place. Over time in a door that cycles frequently, the bonded construction holds up better.
Can I replace an existing commercial door with the 2741?
In most cases yes. We assess the existing opening, hardware, and headroom during a quote visit and confirm compatibility. Most standard commercial door openings in Metro Vancouver accept a 2741 replacement without structural modification.
