A garage door needs to have both function and aesthetic. Because it can make a big difference in the overall look of your home, it needs to look great and fit in with the rest of your home's design. But it also needs to be able to function to keep your garage protected and secure. There are several different types of garage doors available with many options when it comes to style and function. If you're looking for a new garage door, here are a few things to keep in mind. First, take a look at the style of your existing home or the home you're building, and evaluate which type of door will look best. If you're building your home, the architect will have suggestions. If you're doing it on your own, then research different styles of homes and see what others have used on homes similar to yours. In addition to style, you will also need to consider function. Garage doors function in several ways. Some doors tilt-up without bending panels, some roll up on tracks, while most garage doors uses a series of rolling sectionals that bend as the door moves up. Both track doors and rolling sectional doors can accommodate small spaces, while tilt-up doors typically need a wider berth in order to accommodate the swinging door. Once you have that figure out you'll need to consider what material you would like. While custom wood garage doors are beautiful and elegant, they will require some maintenance such as staining and sealing every three to four years. Other options include steel, fiberglass, and other metals. The only maintenance required on these doors is lubrication of tracks and springs. Price is also an important consideration. Of the many material options, fiberglass and wood are typically the most expensive. Steel doors are the most common, but there is also the option of an insulated door for weatherproofing the garage. Keep these choices in mind as you shop.
