Types of Garage Doors
When it comes to choosing a new garage door, there are several types to consider, each with its own unique features and benefits. At Garage Door Repair Hanover Park, we offer a wide range of garage door styles to suit your preferences and needs:
Sectional Garage Doors
Sectional garage doors are the most common and versatile option available. They consist of hinged panels that roll up and down on tracks, allowing for smooth operation and space-saving functionality. These doors are available in a variety of materials, including steel, wood, aluminum, and fiberglass, and can be customized with windows, colors, and hardware to match your home’s style. According to a report by the Door & Access Systems Manufacturers Association (DASMA), sectional garage doors account for over 90% of all residential garage door sales in the United States.
Roll-Up Garage Doors
Roll-up garage doors are an excellent choice for homes with limited headroom. These doors are made of steel or aluminum slats that roll up into a compact coil above the door opening, eliminating the need for a large overhead track system. Roll-up doors are often used in commercial settings but are becoming increasingly popular for residential properties due to their space-saving design and modern appearance. Brands like Clopay and Wayne Dalton offer high-quality roll-up garage doors with advanced features like built-in insulation and wind-load resistance.
Slide to the Side Garage Doors
Slide to the side garage doors, also known as sliding or bypass doors, are perfect for unique spaces or homes with limited headroom. These doors consist of two or more panels that slide horizontally along a track, parallel to the garage wall. Slide to the side doors are often used when a traditional overhead door won’t fit, such as in garages with low ceilings or obstructions like ducts or pipes. They can be made of various materials and customized to match your home’s architecture. Amarr, a leading garage door manufacturer, offers a line of sliding garage doors with a range of design options and advanced safety features.
Side-Hinged Garage Doors
Side-hinged garage doors offer a classic, swinging door style that adds charm and character to your home’s exterior. These doors are hinged on the sides and open outward, similar to traditional entry doors. Side-hinged doors are often made of wood or steel and can be designed with decorative elements like glass panes, wrought iron hardware, or carriage house-style overlays. They are a popular choice for detached garages or homes with a vintage or rustic aesthetic. Brands like Clopay and Carriage House Door Company specialize in crafting beautiful, high-quality side-hinged garage doors.
Tilt-Up/Up and Over Retractable Garage Doors
Tilt-up, also known as up and over retractable garage doors, are a popular choice for their clean, modern appearance and smooth operation. These doors consist of a single panel that tilts up and slides back into the garage ceiling, providing a wide, unobstructed opening. Tilt-up doors are available in a range of materials, including steel, wood, and fiberglass, and can be customized with insulation, windows, and decorative hardware. According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), tilt-up garage doors are a top choice for new home construction due to their durability and energy efficiency. Leading manufacturers like Raynor and Martin Door offer a variety of tilt-up garage door options to suit any home style or budget.
