Your garage door has served you well for years, but
you want to change the material already. It’s best to change it now before it
hasn’t been completely broken yet. But while you search for a new garage door
installation in Land O’Lakes, you didn’t realize how many materials you’ll
actually be choosing from.
You feel overwhelmed with the choices as you really
want to get the best garage door material for your home. To help you out, here
are the different materials and why you should pick or not pick them:
1.
Wood
Wood offers a classic and sophisticated look to
your garage, which in turn will add beauty to your home. Authentic wood is
charming and elegant. But aside from the looks, wood is durable and is
available in different sizes for garage door installation in Land O’Lakes.
On the other hand, wood needs regular repainting to
keep it looking great. And the more you need to refinish it if you live in a
place where it always rains. In addition, wood tends to be more expensive than
other materials and have a short warranty period.
2.
Steel
Opposite of wood, steel is a door material that is
very low-maintenance. Its best advantage is that it’s very tough, yet,
inexpensive. The only maintenance needed is touching it up when it has rust and
scratches.
Steel doors are prone to dents, but this will
depend on the type of steel gauge panels you will pick out. Go for 24025 gauge
panels, they are sturdier. Steel doors with fiberglass overlay are also a good
choice as they are dent and rust-resistant. However, fiberglass will need
regular repainting. The high quality steel doors usually come with lifetime
warranties that include the laminations, paint and hardware.
3.
Aluminum
Aluminum used to be a popular choice for garage
doors. They were inexpensive, but they were not of good quality too. Today, the
cheaper aluminum doors were replaced with tougher ones. Aluminum garage door installation
in Land O’Lakes now includes heavy-duty frames and dent-resistant panels with
lamination.
Now if you need the light weight ones, you can buy
aluminum doors made of high-density polyethylene. These are the best choice for
garages with very wide double doors. Since its lightweight, the garage door
openers will have an easier time with it.
So, have you made a decision on what door material
you’ll pick for garage door installation in Land O’Lakes?
