Once you have made the decision to replace your garage door it is important to choose one which is suitable for your home. With many different designs and types available, we recommend bearing the following considerations in mind when deciding which new replacement model to go for:
- Material
The material of your new door is the first thing to think about. Whether you choose wood, steel or composite will depend on factors such as the age of your property and the setting (urban or rural), the amount of time you have to carry out maintenance and the kind of finish you want. It’s worth researching the different colours available if you want your door to match existing features in your home such as other doors or window frames.
- Strength
Another thing to bear in mind is how durable the door needs to be. This will depend on how often it is going to be used each day as well as where the garage is. Those exposed to particularly harsh weather conditions such as rain, wind or snow need to be especially durable.
- Insulation
The level of insulation the door provides should also be considered. If your garage adjoins your house of is being used as a home office, gym or games room, the highest insulation possible would be particularly beneficial – both for keeping heat in as well as cold air out. It could also mean a decrease in the amount of money being spent on energy bills too.
