How much do garage doors cost? Every home is different and complemented with the perfect garage door.

Being a natural material there is no substitute for the distinctive look of wood. Wooden garage doors are typically made of moisture resistant cedar, cypress, or redwood and offer the most flexibility to custom designs. Depending on the climate and exposure, (think Arizona climate), wood doors require more maintenance. The average cost for a 16 x 7 double door made of quality wood: $1200 to more than $4000. Composite wood garage door A low-maintenance, durable material that really does look like real wood, composite illuminates many of the drawbacks of natural material. It won't rot, split, shrink, crack, separate and is moisture resistant. It can be painted or stained and will be insulated. The average cost for a 16 x 7 double tool: $1200-$2200. 2) How secure is your garage door? Normally, in areas with high wind or storm prone areas, make sure your garage door can withstand the elements! Garage doors aren't small. Because of this, they are more susceptible to wind damage than other exterior openings. Ideally, doors must have additional bracing, more heavy duty gauge tracking and other necessary hardware and fixings, to keep them in place and operating normally under extreme winds.

With a passive reinforcement system, once you know high winds are coming your way, the system can be engaged by simply locking the door closed. Thereby preventing damage during high winds. 3) Should I buy an insulated garage door? Most folks garages aren't heated. In which case your garage door can leak your home's energy out into the atmosphere. This is highly inefficient and can lose you money! Insulation technologies and construction materials for garage doors have improved massively over the last 5 to 10 years. Today's garage doors provide the tightest seal against the framework to keep out the elements. If your garage door is integral, (meaning it's attached to the house), your ideal purchase would be an insulated door, especially if there's an occupied room above the garage. It also helps reduce utility bills and noise. Another thing to consider, is the direction your door faces. If the sun beats down on it all day or it gets blasted by the wind, and insulated door will better regulate the temperature inside. What else do I need to know before buying or selecting a garage door? The door is one purchase and the mechanism for securing it and operating, it is another.
