Types of garage doors

Home improvement RSS Feed





There are a number of styles and designs available in the market for the garage doors. The basic purpose of these doors is to protect as well as to add beauty to the garage. When ever we park our car in the garage we desire that it remains protected from the thieves or any other damage so these doors fulfill our basic purpose. These doors are mainly of four major types, rest our subtypes named differently due to the different types of material used, variety in the sizes, structures and the properties. In past the most commonly used material for these doors was wood but its disadvantage was that it neither rolls nor provides good insulation. Now a day we use the doors made from steel which provides better insulation to the garage area and by rolling occupies less space. The major four types are up- and over doors, side-hung, roller and the sectional. Now let us discuss each one briefly.

Roller garage doors are the doors that are made up of narrow strips of aluminum. When ever the car is parked in the garage and we need a door to protect it the doors fulfills the purpose but when the door is not in use it rolls up into the upper panel. These thin strips help it in rolling. Such type of doors is of great advantage to the people who live in houses with short driveways or have space problems. These doors just move in two directions that are downward and upward. Therefore they do not occupy space on either side of the door. In certain places where there are security purposes and less frequently at homes the automatic roller garage doors are used. The owner has the remote, when he needs to park a car the thumb prints appear on the remote and the signals from the remote force the door to automatically get open and close later when car is parked.

The other type is the up and over garage doors. They are very stylish in their structure as they swing outwards then up and parallel to the garage ceiling. These types of doors can only be used in big stores or companies where there is large parking area as these doors require a lot of space both at ground level as well as on the ceiling area. These doors are made up by combining small sections as it would be quite difficult to make this much large one continuous door. The next type is the sectional garage doors which open by pulling them upwards. There this feature makes them different and beautiful. Swing garage doors are the doors that are traditionally used as garage doors in homes and are hinged to the door opening of the garage. They require space to open and cannot be used at the places where there are short driveways. All these doors have their own uniqueness, structure, features and beauty. The most important factor is that the owner must take care of its door and keep it protected and safe.
