Compare openings For the Garage Doors
Today, there are five main types of garage door openers, most of which can be motorized:
Overhead doors for the prefab garage, formed from a single panel, are burglar resistant. They are made to measure and offer the possibility of being motorized.
Roll-up garage doors are formed from aluminum slats that roll up in a trunk. They are made to measure, offer high insulation, and are burglar resistant. They can also be motorized.
Sectional garage doors, made up of several hinged panels, have the advantages of offering high insulation and being burglar-resistant. They can also be custom made and some models can be motorized.
Folding garage doors are made up of several wooden panels that fold in on themselves. Some models can be made to measure the possibility of integrating a gate. They are not motorized.
Swing garage doors are made of two wooden or PVC leaves. They can be custom made, but not motorized.
Compare materials For The Door
There are currently four main materials for a garage door: steel, aluminum, PVC, and wood. Here are the main advantages and disadvantages of each of them:
Steel is a resistant material with limited insulation and sometimes high cost;
Aluminum is very resistant, does not require maintenance, but its cost remains high;
PVC is an economical and light material, which does not require maintenance, but which remains fragile;
Wood retains aesthetics and thermal qualities, but remains an expensive material and requires regular maintenance
Why motorize your garage door?
Motorization is a plus for your comfort and safety, but it will also bring longevity to your gate system. Here are some advantages:
No need to get on or off your vehicle, you remotely control the opening of your gate;
The motorization makes the doors more efficient and more resistant since they no longer close jerkily;
The motorization offers more safety because, at each obstacle, the door is blocked.
When choosing your garage door, be sure to call in a professional who can advise you wisely.
Profitability of Garage space
If there is one thing to remember when setting up a garage, it is to clear the floor as much as possible and take advantage of every available square inch. For this, good wall organization is important. Use perforated panels for light objects and magnetic strips for magnetic tools. Hanging shelves or old kitchen cupboards are also useful. For anything heavier, consider freestanding cabinets.
