When you choose a material for your garage door, you want to make sure you’re making the right choice. By informing yourself of the various materials to choose from, you can pick a material that best fits your home’s aesthetic, security, and energy efficiency. At Diamond Doors, we can advise you on several materials that are popular for garage doors, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. As a local, family run garage door business we have over 30 years’ experience in installing and maintaining garage doors across Wiltshire including Bath, Calne, Corsham, Devizes, Frome, Melksham, Trowbridge, Warminster, and Westbury.
The most durable and affordable material is steel from brands such as Garador and Hormann. It’s available in various styles, from traditional to contemporary, and can be customised with different finishes, colours, and insulation options. Steel garage doors are relatively low-maintenance and can withstand harsh weather conditions. However, they can be susceptible to dents and scratches, and they may require regular painting or powder coating to maintain their appearance.
Wooden garage doors are a classic choice that adds warmth and character to any home. They are available in various wood types, including oak, cedar, and mahogany, each with its unique grain patterns and durability. Wooden garage doors can be customised with different finishes, such as paint or stain, and can be insulated for improved energy efficiency. However, they require more maintenance than steel or aluminium doors, including regular painting or staining to prevent rot and decay.
Aluminium garage doors are lightweight, durable, and low maintenance. They are resistant to rust and corrosion, making them ideal for coastal areas or regions with harsh weather conditions. Aluminium doors from brands like Novoferm and Cardale are available in various styles and finishes, including powder coating and woodgrain effects. They can also be insulated for improved energy efficiency meaning you spend less on heating.
PVC garage doors are a budget-friendly option that is resistant to rot, rust, and corrosion. They are available in various styles and colours and can be insulated for improved energy efficiency. PVC doors are low-maintenance and easy to clean. However, they may not be as durable as steel or aluminium doors and thus are more susceptible to damage from impact.
When choosing a garage door material, consider factors such as your budget, the style of your home, the climate in your region, and your desired level of security and energy efficiency. Consulting with a local garage door installer can help you make the best decision for your specific needs.
When choosing a garage door material, it is important to consider your budget, your home’s style, and your specific needs. If you are looking for a durable and affordable option, steel is a good choice. If you want a classic look, wood is a good option. If you want a solid all-rounder aluminium is a good choice. And if you want a low-budget option, PVC is a good choice.
Also, modern materials offer more benefits nowadays. Newer materials are all about functionality and convenience.
