CHOOSING THE BEST GARAGE DOOR STYLE FOR YOUR HOME

• Nowadays, homeowners are spoilt for choice when
  it comes to garage doors, and knowing what type
  of door would best suit your home, can feel a bit
  overwhelming. However, if youre looking to
  replace your existing garage door, or have one
  added to your newly constructed home, the
  following guidance cold help you make an informed
  decision
• Traditional garage doors
• Garage doors known as panel models, are by and
  large the most popular style for American
  homeowners, and a raised panel door garage door
  can classically complement your home.

• Carriage house garage doors
• These doors look best when paired with a colonial
  or Victorian style home, and are a nod to the
  days when homeowners used to store their
  carriages in small buildings next to their home.
• Modern garage doors
• Often made out of aluminum and glass, these
  contemporary doors enable you to customize the
  amount of natural light and degree of privacy for
  your home.

• What material should your garage door be made
  from?
• While steel remains a popular choice for many
  homeowners, thanks to its durability and
  strength, more and more people are choosing
  wooden garage doors for their natural beauty.
• Steel garage doors
• For all-round performance and great value, steel
  is hard to beat. Strong and long lasting, steel
  doesnt easily dent and can withstand thousands
  of garage door cycles, unlike wood, vinyl and
  fiberglass, its also relatively cheap. Having
  been used for garage doors for decades, steel
  continues to be a leader in garage door sales.

• Aluminum and glass garage doors
• While not having the same structural strength as
  garage doors made from steel, aluminum garage
  doors are still a great alternative thanks to
  being lightweight and resistant to external
  elements. Never rusting or deteriorating in wet
  conditions, aluminum garage doors are more than
  capable of giving steel doors a run for their
  money under certain conditions. For example, if
  you live near the coast and your garage door is
  likely to be affected by saltwater, an aluminum
  garage door wont rust like some other materials
  will, and salt-laden air can be carried a long
  way from the shore, so its a very real
  consideration for coastal dwellers.

• Wooden garage doors
• A little more expensive than other materials, a
  wooden garage door can add a unique and naturally
  attractive look to your home, and in many cases,
  complement it to increase its curb appeal.
• Perhaps the best way of choosing the right style
  and material for your new garage door, is to
  browse the choices thoroughly, and talk to a
  garage door installation specialist, who will be
  able to give you up to date and accurate guidance.
