garage door selection basics
Garage Door
Garage doors are quite big and usually dominate the view both within the garage and from the street. Thus, it is particularly important that a garage door is not only functional but also attractive.
Functionally, all you really need from a garage door is easy operation and hardy construction. Style-wise, you need the garage door to match the front of your house from the outside and the rest of the garage from the inside.
An overhead garage door is by far the most popular choice. Early models were solid pieces of wood or steel that opened outward or slid along tracks, but today, these doors are made from a variety of materials and generally consist of panels that slide up the frame and along the roof. Today’s doors also tend to be automated - one touch of the button on a garage door opener and a motor moves the door along the track – no heavy lifting required! Just be sure the door has a handle on the inside, too; in case of a power outage, you’ll want a way to open it manually.
