If you need to install a new garage door on your home, you may want to consider an option besides the one you already have. There is more than one type of door to choose from, and a vast array of materials to achieve the aesthetic look you want on the front of your exterior. A new garage door can improve the curb appeal of your home drastically.
Sectional
If you want to stick to a traditional style, the sectional garage door Denton is the most common door out there. The horizontal panels roll up to the garage ceiling when you open the door. A motorized door opener can handle the weight and, for extra safety, a sensor can be installed so the door doesn’t close if it detects an object in the way. This can prevent children and pets from being harmed by a descending door.
Sliding
Sliding doors can open like barn doors, along tracks to each side of the garage, or around the walls of your garage interior. If your garage ceiling is low, this may be the option you need to try instead of a typical sectional door. The barn door style does require plenty of wall space to each side of the garage opening, which may not be feasible depending on how your home was built.
Hinged
There are a few different types of hinged doors that can be another useful type for garages with low ceilings. Side-hinged doors or bi-fold hinged doors open like their interior door counterparts. Snow can prevent the operation of this type of garage door and they are only able to be operated manually.
If a garage door repair isn’t going to cut it anymore, installing a brand new one may be what you need to have a functional garage once again.
