Before purchase a garage door you should consider the following:
-
Which Type door (wood, steel or aluminum) will meet my design criteria? Custom, carriage house, traditional, contemporary, windows, stained or painted? Which fit your lifestyle?
(Remember, when replacing your existing door, you have a wide variety of styles and options to match or enhance the look of your home.)
- What maintenance am I willing to perform?
(Wood provides a handcrafted look but requires more upkeep.
Steel and aluminum require little or no maintenance.)
- Durability. Will it dent?
- How long will it provide me safe, reliable service while keeping its appearance?
- Insulation, “R” Values
(the higher the R-Value, the better insulated the door)
- Do I need an insulated door?
- Are insulated doors quieter than non-insulated doors?
- Are insulated doors stronger than non-insulated doors?
- Available Colors / Finishes & window options?
(Windows bring in natural light, while adding style and sophistication to your door(s))
- Warranties
- Available Options: What other features are available that I may desire?
- Value vs. Cost: What are you willing to spend and what will you receive for this expenditure?
Safety, maintenance, reliability, appearance, insulation value, warranty all adds up to the cost of your door. It's your decision. Determine which features you value most, versus those you don’t.
