Selecting the right garage door enhances both your home's aesthetics and functionality. With numerous options available, ProLift Garage Doors is here to simplify your decision-making process, helping you find the perfect door to suit your needs and complement your home.

The Most Common Garage Door Styles 

Every home is unique, and so are its garage door needs. Discover the different types available to find the one that best suits your style and functionality requirements:

  • Roll-Up Garage Doors: Space-saving doors with narrow slats rolling around a drum. Ideal for limited headroom, popular in commercial settings and gaining popularity in residential applications for their sleek look and durability.
  • Sectional Garage Doors: The most common type for residential use is sectional doors, which are made of panel sections connected with hinges. To open, they roll up and down on tracks parallel to the ceiling. They're versatile, well-insulated, and available in various designs.
  • Counterweight Garage Doors: Also known as tilt-up or swing-up doors, these operate on a pivoting hinge mechanism. The entire door swings outward and upward as a single piece, counterbalanced by weights or springs.
  • Sliding Garage Doors: Similar to barn doors, sliding garage doors move horizontally along a track. They're excellent for garages with low ceiling heights or where overhead space is needed. Sliding doors can be single-sliders or bi-parting, offering flexibility in design and operation.

Best Materials for Garage Doors

The material of your garage door is crucial in terms of durability, maintenance requirements, and appearance. Steel garage doors are one of the most popular choices due to their strength and resistance to denting and rust. They also offer various designs and insulation options, making them suitable for multiple climates and needs.

Wood garage doors are widely used, known for their natural beauty and classic appeal. They can be custom-designed to enhance your home's aesthetic, providing a warm and inviting look. Aluminum garage doors offer a lightweight, corrosion-resistant option, ideal for coastal areas or modern architectural styles.

Fiberglass garage doors are gaining popularity due to their low-maintenance properties. They can mimic the appearance of wood without the same level of upkeep. Composite garage doors combine the best qualities of other materials, offering a balance of durability and style, making them a versatile choice for many homeowners.

How to Accessorize Your Garage Door Further

Your choices don't end with your garage door's type and material. When designing your garage door, you'll also want to consider additional features or accessories to enhance its functionality and curb appeal. Popular features include:
