Typically, your home or business, and subsequently your garage door, will fall under one of the following three style categories: Traditional, Carriage, or Modern. These style descriptions refer to the overall aesthetic of your property and whether or not it exudes a rustic, farmhouse vibe, or something chic and sophisticated.
When it comes to your garage door installation, be sure to keep the following characteristics of each style in mind and make an informed decision about which one you think suits your property best.
- Traditional - A classic and versatile style, suitable for most homes. Doors typically have raised panels that add depth and texture, enhancing the overall appearance.
- Carriage - This style mimics the charm of old carriage house doors and offers a rustic and vintage appeal, perfect for adding character to your home's facade.
- Modern - Clean lines and minimalist designs characterize contemporary garage doors, ideal for modern architectural styles and sleek aesthetics.
Your garage door materials play a major role in your installation. Why? Because the materials you use determine the weight of your door, which will then impact the equipment you’ll need to ensure that it is able to operate seamlessly and safely. The most common garage door materials include:
- Wood (and faux wood)
- Steel
- Aluminum
- Glass
- Vinyl
Of those options, here’s a closer look at the top three that we install most frequently.
- Steel - Durable and low-maintenance, steel garage doors offer strength and insulation. They come in various finishes, including faux wood textures.
- Wood - Known for their natural beauty, wooden garage doors add warmth and charm. They require more maintenance but offer a distinct aesthetic appeal.
- Aluminum - Lightweight yet sturdy, aluminum garage doors are rust-resistant and often used for contemporary designs. They offer insulation and come in various finishes.
