Curb appeal means a lot to homeowners. You want your windows and siding to look clean, and you want to maximize the space around your house for fantastic landscaping. Your garage door always adds to the overall curb appeal, and now it’s possible for your home to have a unique, custom garage door to turn those heads.
Regardless of your budget when it comes to installing a custom garage door, you can create the look that matches the rest of your home. To create a rustic charm, wooden doors are considered one of the most attractive options. However, aluminum, steel, and fiberglass doors can all achieve the same result.
Wooden garage doors both look and feel authentic when you need to capture that rustic charm. A majority of wooden garage doors are custom installations, as the wood is exceptionally versatile and can be useful in situations where the ground is not entirely level. Wood also provides excellent sound and heat insulation.
Aluminum provides a lightweight installation alternative that is also quite durable. Achieve the wooden look on aluminum doors by embossing to the material during the finishing process.
Steel is typically a less expensive material compared to wood, and steel garage doors often provide the best durability and strength. Manufacturing techniques have advanced to copy the aesthetic appeal of wood in steel garage doors, too.
Fiberglass can be used to create a vast array of custom looks, including that of rustic wood. However, compared to other garage door materials, fiberglass performs poorly regarding insulation and strength and may turn yellow as time passes.
You are not required to pick that rustic look for your garage door. There are many different design choices and color options available, allowing you to completely customize the look of your garage door into something unique.
No matter what look you are trying to achieve with your garage door. You can be confident that a custom garage door from Environmental Door will not only boost your home’s curb appeal but also provide exceptional functionality.
