The Top 5 Things to Consider When Choosing the Right Garage Door for Your Property
Garage doors are commonplace at most domestic and commercial properties, providing a building with an attractive facade that also offers several functional benefits.
With this in mind, it’s important to select the right type of garage door for your property in order to ensure you’re getting the right benefits that suit you.
Here at SAA Industrial & Garage Door Specialists, we understand that no two properties are the same. As well as aesthetic and structural differences, everyone’s personal style and taste will also vary. Therefore, it makes sense to take a bespoke approach to garage doors to ensure that every property has a product that perfectly aligns with its unique requirements and complements your preferences.
In this article, our team will take a look at how to choose a garage door and the top five things you need to consider when choosing between garage door options for your property.
Budget
Undoubtedly your budget will be the main thing you need to factor into any purchasing decision, and the same goes for garage doors.
Take some time to think about the size of the garage door you need, the materials you want to use and the style of the product. All of these facets will help you determine the type of budget you’ll likely need.
Setting a clear budget will also help you remain cost-effective and help you with other decisions regarding your new door.
Materials
It’s important to carefully consider the type of material you want your garage door to be made from. There are so many different materials that can be used when it comes to manufacturing garage doors, all with various pros and cons.
For instance, at SAA Industrial & Garage Door Specialists we opt for aluminium when manufacturing garage doors and shutters as they offer excellent durability and longevity.
Design
Similarly to the range of garage door materials available, garage doors also come in a whole host of different designs.
Whether it’s a classic up and over garage door design or a flexible sectional garage door, you should think about the type of design that is best suited to your home or business based on the unique requirements of your property.
Roller garage doors are a popular, contemporary design that can be seen on properties across the country. As well as enhancing a property’s security, roller garage doors are great at space saving due to the innovative way in which they operate.
At SAA Industrial & Garage Door Specialists, we supply and install roller garage doors from some of the world’s biggest manufacturers including Hörmann, SWS and more.
Insulation
Most consumers will want a garage door that offers insulating properties, and this is another factor you should consider when purchasing garage doors.
Be sure to enquire about insulation, as it’s something you’ll be particularly grateful for during the winter months when the weather is colder. This is because a well-insulated garage door will help keep warm air inside your property, reducing your central heating usage and thus saving you money on energy bills.
Security
Unsurprisingly, one of the biggest concerns consumers have when purchasing garage doors is security.
As garage doors offer access to a home or business, it’s vital they’re effective at preventing thieves or intruders from entering. Make sure that the garage door you select is made from durable materials that can endure an attempted forced entry — you may also want to consider additional security accessories to put in place an extra layer of protection.
