If you are in the market for a new garage door, you will be pleased to know that they come in a range of styles and materials to suit any budget and taste. It has never been easier to find a beautiful new garage door for your home.
The most popular materials garage doors are made of these days are steel and wood. There are some fiberglass and aluminum garage doors, but their popularity has declined because of the advantages of steel and wood. Fiberglass doors have poor insulation qualities and break relatively easily, especially in cold temperatures. Aluminum doors were once very popular, but modern steel doors are almost as light and more resistant to denting than aluminum.
Modern steel garage doors are lightweight and attractive. They are the most secure and durable garage doors on the market. Steel garage doors can be made with a wood grain texture and have a baked on or clad finish that holds up for years without needing any maintenance. Some steel doors only have a single outer skin, but better quality doors have an inner and outer skin filled with a foam core for sound dampening and weather insulation.
Wood garage doors come in an infinite variety of attractive styles and shapes. Some are painted and others are stained and finished for an attractive wood look. Wood garage doors are beautiful and have good insulation characteristics, but they require more frequent maintenance than steel doors. They need to be refinished or repainted every few years or the wood will start to split and crack.
