Types of Garage Doors
Choosing the right type of garage door is crucial for both functionality and aesthetics. Here’s an overview of popular garage door styles:
Sectional Garage Doors
The most common type for residential use, sectional doors are made of panel sections connected with hinges. They roll up and down using a track system with rollers.
Roll-Up Garage Doors
Ideal for commercial applications or homes with limited ceiling space, these doors consist of slats that roll around a drum above the door opening.
Slide to the Side Garage Doors
These doors slide horizontally to open and close, making them perfect for garages with low headroom or where you want to keep the ceiling clear.
Side-Hinged Garage Doors
Traditional in appearance, these doors swing open and closed from a hinged frame on either side of the opening, like large barn doors.
Tilt-Up/Up and Over Canopy Garage Doors
These one-piece doors tilt out and up into the garage space, with a portion of the door protruding from the front when open.
Tilt-Up/Up and Over Retractable Garage Doors
Similar to canopy doors, but the entire door retracts into the garage, leaving no protruding parts when open.
Garage Door Materials
The material of your garage door affects its durability, maintenance needs, and appearance:
- Steel Garage Doors: Durable and low-maintenance, steel doors offer strength and security. They can be insulated and come in various designs and colors.
- Wood Garage Doors: Classic and customizable, wood doors provide a warm, natural look. They require more maintenance but offer unmatched aesthetic appeal.
- Aluminum Garage Doors: Lightweight and resistant to rust, aluminum doors are ideal for wider openings. They’re often used in modern home designs.
- Fiberglass Garage Doors: Resistant to salt-air corrosion, fiberglass doors are excellent for coastal areas. They can mimic the look of wood without the maintenance.
