Factors to Consider When Choosing a New Garage Door
Keep the following five factors in mind when shopping for the perfect garage door:
1.Style
If your house has a modern, sleek, contemporary and minimalistic look, find a garage door in the same style. Contemporary garage doors tend to have clean lines, few details, simple windows and a single, solid color. A fully windowed door, which resembles a curtain, is another option to consider.
If you own a Craftsman-style home, which is also known as a bungalow-style home, it most likely has a one-and-a-half-storied architecture, vinyl or wood and brick, a low roof that overhangs, large dormers and big windows. Garage door styles that go well with this architectural style often feature embossed designs, unique patterns and classic doors.
