Our front entry doors often get a lot of attention, but when it comes to the most practical and functional door in the house, the garage door stands out. Your garage door helps keep your home safe and provides a lot of convenience. If you're planning to replace an existing garage door, you need to give some thought to your options. According to Forbes, the average cost of a garage door installation is about $1,200, so you want to make the right choice on the style of your door. Let’s look at a few of the options available through local garage companies.
Paneled doors are some of the most common garage doors on the market. They consist of paneled sections connected at several points by hinges that allow the door to roll upward and along the ceiling without much additional space. While some paneled designs are completely flat, the other design options are raised or recessed in the door panels. These differences provide dimensionality to your garage door and tie in the look of your siding with the rest of your home.
If you are looking for something fancier, consider stamped carriage house doors. There are a few different ways a carriage house effect is achieved. First, the door is often texturized or painted to look like wood. Second, there are pieces of ironwork that are attached at the corners and in the center that make the door look like it opens outwards instead of upwards.
Don't be fooled; these are just decorations. The door has panels and rolls upward like a regular garage door. The added style of a stamped carriage house door is a great way to spruce up your home and add an elegant feel to the garage.
If you want something more modern from garage companies, look into their full-view aluminum doors. These doors look like a work of modern art. They are paneled to allow them to roll up to the top of the garage without obstruction. Rather than fiberglass or wood panels, they are made of glass and allow a full view outside the garage. It's a striking contrast to the other two options listed!
