Look at your current garage door – does it meet your needs? Does it look as fresh and new as it did when you first saw it? If not, you should think about replacing it. Your garage and the whole house will get a fresh new look!

Firstly, there are several materials the garage doors are made of – wood, steel, fiberglass or aluminum. We recommend wooden or steel doors, as they are the most durable and reliable ones.

Also, there are different types of systems used in case of garage doors – tilt-ups and sectional roll-ups. Tilt-up doors are raised as a single panel whereas the sectional roll-up doors are raised as four to five different horizontal panels hinged together, on rollers along tracks on each side. The sectional roll-up doors are most commonly used as they are easier to operate and more weather-resistant.

Wooden doors have a nice natural look, but they need more maintenance than other types of doors to keep their weather-resistance and also, the door may be quite heavy requiring a stronger opening mechanism. Steel doors are lighter but need special insulation to be able to protect your garage from the weather.

The most important thing in a garage door is the opening mechanism, which may be quite expensive.
