Installing a steel garage door comes with many advantages such as:
Steel is worth it when it comes to durable material unlike wood and other types of materials.
Steel doors require very little maintenance compared to other types.
Steel is rust-proof and that is a great advantage. There is no need bothering about your new steel garagedoor having to corrode or become noisy or hard to open and close. A steel door is a practical alternative.
We have these doors in various types and colors.
Steel doors are not only sturdier but also cheaper than other types such as wooden doors.
The best options of Steel Garage Doors you should purchase are either:
Roller Doors:
This a strong sheet of metal which rolls up and into a cylinder Or,
Sectional Doors:
These are various steel panels designed to move up as well as along the ceiling of thegarage. These steel sectional garage doors come in two designs: slatted or block-patterned.
Wooden Garage Door Installations
These are sectional garage doors and can also be described as tip-up wooden garage doors. Notably, they are not manufactured any longer. Their parts are pretty scarce and therefore expensive to find. Wooden Garage doors also come in a variety of designs such as panels or slatted. Besides, they also vary in their panel or slate sizes.
The disadvantage of wooden garage doors have is their frequent need for maintenance, which means extra costs. The panels can be subject to bending and the wood to rotting with time which means you have to give them regular attention.
Varnishing wooden garage doors is not ideal and that is why a wooden garage door loses its warranty from its manufacturer once the user varnishes it. However, if you have an already varnished door, then varnishing annually will be necessary for the sake of maintenance. A wooden door that is not varnished requires regular oiling.
Garage Door Hardware
If you decide to install a new garage door, then you will be getting a full set of hardware for your new garage door. Your hardware kit will include cables, springs, pulley wheels, rollers, door hinges, tracks and brackets.
Measuring the size of a garage door opening involves paying attention to the headroom space which
determines the required type of hardware and whether the door is standard or custom in size. The
measurement of the headroom comes from the base of the door opening lintel to the restriction of the lowest overhead that has to be in the door’s way as it moves. Examples include a beam, pipe, the ceiling, lightfitting, etc.
Garage Door Safety
If the spring of a garage door breaks, the danger it poses is extremely severe on people it may injure or property it may damage in its way. Installing safety cables is an ideal way to prevent this kind of damage. Safety cables will prevent any spring that breaks from a wild dangerous swing. These cables look like ordinary garage door cables, however, they are lighter in weight.
