Garage Door Options

When it comes to customizing your garage door, the sky is the limit. The various options can help you match the design of your home so that your garage and house are harmonious structures. Just keep in mind that the most durable materials are wood and steel.

A garage with raised-panel doors, hardware and lighting fixtures that go with the colonial look of you home can add some style to the once plain garage. Material options include wood, steel, aluminum and fiberglass. The more economical materials are aluminum and fiberglass, but they can’t take too much abuse.

For the design, consider single-panel or sectional roll-up styles. If you live in an area that receives a significant amount of snow accumulation, you should go for the roll-up style.

Steel doors with glass are more modern, and accent lights above the doors can enhance their appearance. Frosted-glass panels can give you more privacy, and they mimic Asian-influenced architecture.
