Residential Garage Doors: A Brand for Every Home
- Clopay: One of the largest manufacturers of garage doors in the United States and all of North America under parent company Griffon Corporation with manufacturing facilities in Ohio, Clopay produces beautiful, long-lasting doors. A wide range of both modern and traditional styles are available.
- Amarr: Another big name, Amarr offers a wide selection of styles that fall in the traditional category, including carriage house doors, but they also carry some contemporary designs. Amarr is also known for good insulation and noise reduction with their doors.
- CHI Overhead Doors: This brand is known for making garage doors that look like wood but are made of much more durable synthetic materials. They are also known for the “full view” glass and aluminum garage doors.
- Wayne Dalton: Based in Texas, the Wayne Dalton brand offers custom doors in wood, steel, aluminum, and fiberglass with many options in panel design, windows, and colors to choose from.
While those are some of our favorite brand names in residential garage doors, they’re only as good as the automatic openers that make your life easier. We’re proud to offer both LiftMaster and Chamberlain brand names in garage door openers.
Residential Garage Door Styles and Materials
- Steel and Aluminum: Aluminum is rust-proof and steel is sturdy. Both materials require almost no maintenance, although each is susceptible to dents. If you want the freedom to change the color of your garage door, steel and aluminum can be painted, though you should have it done by professionals.
- Fiberglass and Glass: Steel doors with a fiberglass outer layer are moisture-resistant and are well insulated. For homeowners who want wood doors but need a lightweight, low-maintenance alternative, some fiberglass garage door styles mimic the look of real wood. Glass doors with an industrial look are a trend in modern design, but they lack insulation, and large glass doors may be extremely heavy. Substituting polycarbonate panels for glass reduces the weight.
- Wood, Wood Composite, and Vinyl: Solid wood is one of the most expensive garage door types, but it’s a material with many customization options. Because solid wood is heavy, it’s often used for carriage house style doors that swing outward. High quality wood composite doors are a better option for homes with a single large door, and it’s also resistant to rot. Vinyl doors are dent-proof and low-maintenance, and many vinyl garage door styles offer high-efficiency insulation. Vinyl is tinted during the manufacturing process and cannot be painted.
