What Garage Door Material is Best for Residential Use?

What Garage Door Material is Best for Residential Use?

Garage doors have been used since ancient times. People rely on them for the safety of their garage and the entire home as well. They come in different materials, sizes and types. In this blog post, we’re going to talk about garage door materials only. So read on to learn more about different garage door materials that are being used widely by homeowners all over the world.

What Garage Door Material is Best for Residential Use?

Stainless Steel

Steel is the best, affordable and durable material you can go with. You can easily find garage doors made of steel. You can achieve nearly any texture with steel. All you need is to work with a professional painter. Steel doors require less maintenance and offer robust security. The gauge number is a standard used to measure metal’s thickness The higher the gauge number the thinner the metal. If you want a powerful door, we suggest that you go with lower gauge number. Steel is an ideal choice for anyone in search of a material that is both affordable and durable.

Wood

Wood is another widely used garage door material. It’s an expensive material and only people with no money issue can afford it. It requires high maintenance and is more vulnerable to the elements than other materials in the market. Although it has many downsides, nothing can match the elegance offered by a wood door.

Aluminum

Aluminum is lightweight, affordable and reliable. It also requires little to no maintenance. It’s resistant to rust and with a paint job you can achieve any material texture. When it comes to its look, it’s quite similar to steel.
