Garage Doors

Most people do not stop to think about their garage door very much. They know that it helps to keep their vehicles and other belongings safe, but they do not really know just how strong the garage door is and what it must put up with on a daily basis. We’ve spent quite a bit of time thinking about these things though, so we have a good understanding of just what the door goes through, and why you need to have a good quality door that has been installed by professionals.

First of all, do you need to insulate your garage? Well, if you’ve got an attached garage some government organizations will tell you that the common walls must have a certain R-value, as must the ceiling if there is a room above it. However, if you’ve got a detached garage, there are now regulations to follow at all.

So, you’re building a new house – this is such an exciting time! You’re poring over home designs, and weighing the benefits of two single garage doors over a double width door. Which is best for you?

If you’re like most people, you would probably love to find a way to reduce your energy expenditures every winter. And you probably want to reduce your carbon footprint, too, right? In addition to making sound ecological decisions like recycling and choosing sustainably sourced products for your home, you can also do this by choosing a garage door with a great R-value.
