Garage door traditional detailing
Because garage doors need to carry through a similar look and feel, traditional doors typically feature boxy detail with:
- Raised panels
- Long, short and/or flush panels
- Raised, evenly spaced windows–or no windows
Typically these garage doors are made of wood or steel, but construction today can be quite sophisticated, allowing for insulation that buffers sound and energy efficiency.
What garage door material right for you?
Style is one factor to consider when purchasing a garage door, but material type is equally important — it can define price and maintenance as well as aesthetics.
It’s most helpful to consult with experts–this way you can find the garage door that aligns with your house style and meet all of your needs. We carry a wide range of options, including:
- Steel and aluminum: require little maintenance, can dent
- Fiberglass: moisture resistant, well insulated, lightweight alternative to wood
- Glass: modern look, lack insulation, can be heavy; polycarbonate panels is a lighter-weight substitute
- Wood: expensive, heavy, customizable
- Wood composite: moisture resistant, lighter weight wood alternative
- Vinyl: dent-proof, low-maintenance, insulated, tinted/not paintable
