Steel Garage Doors

Steel is the most popular material used for garage doors today because of its durability. Steel will look great forever and is virtually maintenance-free. It also has the advantage of being the least expensive garage door you can buy. If you're looking to add even more curb appeal, a Steel Door in Carriage Style with wood looking finishes might be just what you're looking for.

Carriage House Doors

Carriage house is a style of door, not a material, but you'll certainly want to consider it when purchasing a new door. These classic garage doors are pulled open rather than lifted overhead. Traditionally, carriage style doors are made out of wood or of steel with wood looking finishes.

The energy efficiency of your new garage door will depend on how well it's insulated. This is most often stated in R-Value. The higher the R-Value the more energy efficient the garage door.

There are 2 types of insulation used in garage doors: polystyrene and polyurethane.

Polystyrene is similar to the materials used in a foam cooler. It is less expensive than polyurethane and will provide a high R-value. Polyurethane is sprayed into a door with interior and exterior steel and provides a superior quality and R-Value. It will typically be a little more expensive than polystyrene.

For example, a wood garage door will have an R-Value around 8, while insulated steel doors can achieve R-Values between 13 and 19.
