The different types of Garage Doors

The material for the garage door always depends on the type of house, space, and budget. There are four main types of garage doors. Sectional, Roller, Side-hung, and Up-and-Over doors. All these four types of garage doors come in wood, steel, and glass reinforced plastic.

Roller Garage Doors
For those homes that have a short drive and limited space, the roller garage door is the best solution. Roller garage doors roll upwards and therefore avoid the overhangs and upswings. The sectional garage door also allows for flush parking inside the garage but the difference lies in the storage of the door when open.

Overhead Garage Doors
Overhead garage doors are best for bigger garages. These up-and-over garage doors swing outwards then up and parallel to the garage ceiling. The most common models are made from glass reinforced plastic though it is quite easy to get such garage doors made out of wood or steel. Overhead garage doors require a lot of room, both at the ground level and at the top in order to swing freely. In case you have a garage that is big enough to accommodate overhead garage doors then perhaps you would also like to consider the oldest and simplest of all garage doors ever made, the side hung doors. These garage doors are like regular doors that hang on the side and close in the middle.

Wooden Garage Doors
Wooden garage doors look good but then they require a lot more maintenance than other materials and they will also cost more. For that reason wooden garage doors are only recommended for people who do not have to worry about budget or long-term costs.

Steel Garage Door
If security of prime concern then you can do no better than steel garage doors. Remember that a steel garage door in itself will not guarantee more security.
