What Type of Garage Door Should You Install?
Your garage door is also one of the most visible portions of your property, meaning that it will add to the overall curb appeal of the whole building, clearly apparent to your neighbors, friends, and other guests. Different doors also have unique features in terms of convenience and functionality, so it is important to choose wisely so that you don’t get frustrated later on that your door does not maximize your distinct space.
Examples of the many kinds of garage doors that are available to you include:
- Tilt-up canopy or “up-and-over” garage doors

- Roller garage doors
- Paneled doors
- Side-hinged garage doors

Choosing the Material For Your Garage Door
There are a few key elements to consider when selecting what type of material you want your garage door to be made out of. On the one hand, you want it to look very attractive to anyone passing by. However, disregarding the lifespan, durability, and typical maintenance requirements of the particular door material would also be a major mistake. Many homeowners love wood, for example, on account of its beautiful appearance, but it does require more substantial upkeep to ensure longevity. Vinyl is very economical, but it also does not hold up to extreme temperatures.
Some of the most common types of materials used for garage doors include the following:
- Aluminum and glass garage doors
- Steel garage doors
- Wooden garage doors
- Wooden composite garage doors
- Aluminum-frame garage doors
- Fiberglass garage doors
- Vinyl garage doors
