Are you having problems with your current garage door? If so, you may want to consider purchasing a new garage door. Typically a garage door last 20 years or longer depending on the maintenance done on it throughout the years. Even if the door is operating, you may be ready for a change to the outside of appearance of your home.
If you’re thinking of purchasing a new garage door, here are some things to consider.
1. The Materials
New garage doors can be made of galvanized steel, aluminum, full-view glass or wood. Although wood doors can be more expensive than others. New garage doors can have anywhere from one to three layers. A one-layer door is steel on the outside backed with vinyl. A two-layer garage door has steel and vinyl backing with a layer of polystyrene in between. A three-layer garage door sandwiches polyurethane insulation between two sheets of steel. The more layer, the more energy-efficient the door will be and it will hold warm or cool air. The number of layers you have on your garage door really depends on what you will be storing or using your garage for.
2. The Look
Without a doubt, garage doors come in a variety of styles and colors. When purchasing a new garage door, you can pick something modern or traditional. You could also add a row of glass or choose a unique color. One popular color for 2023 is black along with wood-grain colors such as walnut or dark oak.
