CHOOSING A GARAGE DOOR WITH PROLIFT DOORS

Your garage door is one of your home’s most noticeable, visible features. Investing in your garage door is a great way to boost your home’s style and design. There are countless garage doors to choose from, but ProLift Garage Doors will help you find a door that fits your home. In this article, ProLift Garage Doors will discuss what design features to consider when purchasing a new garage door.

STYLE

There are three primary types of garage doors you can choose from:

  • Swing-Out: Swing-out garage doors are a great option if you want a unique look and easy access. These doors will allow for plenty of space. They are a great option if you use your garage for storage or own any large vehicles or machinery.
  • Roll-Up: Roll-up doors are perhaps the most popular. These garage doors are stored in an overhead frame and roll down on tracks. Roll-up doors are a great option if you are on a budget.
  • Slide to the Slide : Slide to slide garage doors offer a unique design that are ideal for people who need a lot of space under their garage ceiling. If you own surfboards, canoes, or snowboards this is a great option.

MATERIAL

The material you choose for your garage door will dramatically impact the cost. Like garage door styles, there are three primary materials garage doors are made out of:

  • Aluminum: Aluminum is an inexpensive material for your garage door. Aluminum is a great option for families on a budget who still want a strong, reliable door. Many aluminum doors are light weight and dent-resistant.
  • Wood: Wood is a classic material that will bring a little charm to your home. If you are looking for a unique door, wood can easily be custom designed. Of course, this is an expensive option, but it’s a great choice if you really want to pronounce the exterior of your home.
  • Steel: If you want a low-maintenance door, steel is the way to go. Steel is relatively inexpensive and strong. However, steel can ware easily making this inexpensive, low-maintenance door potentially more work.

INSULATION

Depending on the size of your garage door it may need to be insulated. Insulated doors can reduce your energy bill and provide a more finished look to your garage.
