These blocks are typically made of wood, PVC, or steel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Garex&#8217;s innovative and exclusive extruded polystyrene XPS end blocks were developed in partnership with the Quebec Industrial Research Center, offering significant advantages over traditional materials. Our R&amp;D department worked closely with CRIQ to create end blocks that provide unmatched durability and performance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/garex.com\/cms2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Close-up01_v01_03-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"Close-up Embout en Composite\" class=\"wp-image-2677 size-full\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.garex.com\/cms2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Close-up01_v01_03-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.garex.com\/cms2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Close-up01_v01_03-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.garex.com\/cms2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Close-up01_v01_03-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.garex.com\/cms2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Close-up01_v01_03-385x385.png 385w, https:\/\/www.garex.com\/cms2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Close-up01_v01_03.png 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"color: #009fdf;\">Benefits of Choosing Composite End Blocks for Your Garage Door<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The advantages of composite end blocks include better friction to screwing (preventing screws from loosening), improved panel rigidity, better mechanical resistance and better resistance to moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In other words, your garage door is protected by rot-proof XPS end blocks as well as solidified in several aspects.
