Types of Garage Doors

When you're choosing garage doors for your Forest Lake home or business, you have a few different options. We here at Premium Garage Door Services are going to outline the four basic types.

Swing Out

These garage doors are great for people who want their garage to have a unique look. These doors don't roll up onto the ceiling, so they are an excellent choice if you need to keep the ceiling clear.

Swing Up

Swing up garage doors are also a unique and distinctive look for your home or business. They are usually built as one piece and are a great option if you are trying to match a home's established look.

Roll Up

These are the most common garage doors. They are simple in design and are great for people who are concerned about preserving storage space in their garages. Plus they are very convenient because most of these types of garage doors can be fitted with an automatic garage door opener.

Slide To The Side

These garage doors are definitely unique and distinctive! Doors like this can give a home or business a very fresh and modern look.

Generally speaking, garage doors can be made of wood, steel or aluminum. It really depends on the aesthetics of the house or office and the owner's preference. Each material has its pros and cons. For example, wood is a great material because they can usually withstand small impacts (like from balls or other outdoor toys). Steel is a great option because it can withstand even bigger impacts and will not rot, so it's incredibly durable too. Aluminum is also quite sturdy and also will not rot.
