You may not buy a new garage door
as often as you buy a new car. Having a new garage door can also be tedious
since it is not something you encounter so often. Here are some tips in buying
a new garage door.
1. The design of your new garage
door should be consistent with the character of your home. Everything on your
garage door should compliment to the elements in your house. There are new
garage doors having a classic look, contemporary design, or rustic elements. By
determining the style of your house and your desired new garage door, you will
not be having troubles with so many options. Among the cheapest garage door
styles are aluminium doors with prices ranging from $1500-$2000. Aluminium
garage door are rust resistant making it good for environments with high
humidity. Steel doors, on the other hand, have a wide range of designs,
properties, and prices. The wood garage door is the most expensive among the
options. A new garage door made of wood is moisture-resistant. Because of the
flexibility in designs, wood garage door offers a distinctive look. It can be
the most appealing but it may also require high maintenance.
2. Your garage door may affect the
efficiency of your home energy thus insulation is a great factor. It is better
to have a well insulated new garage door if your garage is attached to your
home. The insulation will reduce the noise and the escape of heat thus
decreasing the utility bills. You should also consider insulation if you don’t
want your car and other stuff to be baked inside your garage.
3. Safety and environmental
factors should also be considered. Your new garage door should be able to
withstand certain level of wind. Hurricane-prone areas should also have a
strong garage door. Garage doors are the most susceptible to damage because of
its large width. Usually, it is recommended to set aside aesthetics and focus
your budget on additional bracing and other necessary hardware to increase the
quality of your new garage door. There are stores which offer new garage door
models that are storm-ready and has a built-in reinforcement system. These
models are best so that you will not be having troubles assembling and adding
additional pieces.
These are just some of the things
to be considered in having a new garage door. It is always important to
consider your personal preferences. It is also important to know your
objectives and priorities. It is also a good thing to do consult an expert.
