As the largest moving part of your home, the garage door provides convenience, security, and curb appeal. An aging or underperforming garage door can undermine all those benefits while also causing energy loss and costly repairs down the road.
If your current garage door is showing signs of wear or no longer meets your household needs, it may be time for an upgrade. Fortunately, today’s garage door solutions in Coffs Harbour like Steel-Line offer exceptional function, safety, durability, and style.
Here are some top options to consider:
Steel Carriage House Styles
Do you love the architectural look of wood carriage house doors but desire the strength, durability and low-maintenance benefits of steel? Modern steel carriage house doors beautifully emulate the aesthetics of classic swinging doors without the high cost and upkeep. Available with charming hardware, windows and custom color options, steel carriage doors add instant visual interest while protecting your vehicles, valuables and home.
Insulated Steel Models
Standard uninsulated steel garage doors can still allow significant air infiltration and heat transfer. For moderate climates or conditioned garage spaces, upgraded insulated steel doors with an R-value of 12 or more can drastically improve energy efficiency. Steel constructed with dense foam insulation sandwiched between exterior and interior steel skins blocks outside temperatures from transferring through the door. This keeps garages warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Insulated models also dampen outdoor noise.
Custom Wood Look with Fiberglass
For gorgeous low-maintenance wood aesthetics, fiberglass garage doors can’t be beat. Artisan-crafted with ultra-dense fiberglass skins bonded to a steel infrastructure and foam core, these doors boast stunning and – unlike real wood – fade and dent-resistant facades. Fiberglass doors can mimic everything from classic raised panel designs to modern glass and aluminum looks. Stain them to match your home’s exterior or opt for factory applied paint. With extra rigidity and insulation, fiberglass provides superb function too.
Impact-Resistant Hurricane Doors
In storm-prone coastal areas, impact-resistant garage doors certified to withstand hurricane-force winds and flying projectiles are critical assets. Tested to meet strict wind load resistance standards like the Miami-Dade County hurricane code, these specially engineered doors feature heavy-duty steel construction, dense foam insulation, structural reinforcements, robust hardware systems and often come with battery backup for operation during power failures. Impact-resistant garage doors maintain integrity against extreme weather while guarding against break-ins, temperature/sound transfer and curb appeal diminishing damage.
Automatic Openers
Nothing beats the convenience of pulling into your driveway and having your garage door automatically open then securely close behind you. Today’s opener systems integrate useful features like built-in WiFi for smartphone monitoring and control, alerts to notify you if doors are accidentally left open, timers to automatically close doors, and battery or solar power options that allow operation during electrical outages. Wall-mounted motion detecting control panels, wireless keypads and multi-door remotes provide easy open/close access too. Automatic door openers add everyday functionality, security during vacations and peace of mind.
Conclusion
When selecting new garage doors for your home, consider how well potential solutions align with your priorities whether they be enhanced safety, weather resistance, noise dampening, temperature control, convenience or aesthetic upgrades. Fortunately, today’s garage door manufacturers offer exceptional options blending superb form and function. By investing in durable, insulated and automated modern doors you can drastically upgrade your home’s comfort, security appeal for years to come.
