Construction Materials for Residential Garage Doors
Steel Garage Doors
- One of the more durable and popular materials for garage door construction.
- Low Maintenance
- It will not warp or bend, and usually the paint will last a very long time.
- Steel can be fashioned into many textures and made to resemble wood.
- Steel doors do offer excellent insulation, as many are built as two steel panels with some form of insulator between them.
- Measured by its gauge, the lower the gauge steel the thicker, 24 gauge steel is thicker then 26 gauge steel.
Aluminum Garage Doors
- Lighter then steel which makes it easier to open and close if you don't have an automatic opener.
- Low Maintenance
- More susceptible to denting than steel.
- Aluminum usually costs about half of what steel does.
Wood Garage Doors
Tilt-up doors are the easiest variety to make from wood, as it's one solid board. When a sectional door is made out of wood, it is usually a panel door that is composed of a wooden frame being made into sections and panels being inserted afterwards.
- Easy to paint
- Appearance grade wooden doors are available. These stained doors maintain the look of wood but can be as much as 25% more expensive.
- Popular for their natural look.
- Generally require the most maintenance and require care that includes regular repainting and refinishing.
Fiberglass Garage Doors
- Fiberglass doors are aluminum frames with fiberglass panels.
- A fiberglass door weighs about as much as an aluminum door.
- They are not very good insulators.
- The fiberglass can weather with age and can possible break in especially cold weather.
