Garage doors can play a critical role in the curb appeal of your home. Often the first part of a property visitors and passersby see, a garage with the right features and aesthetic can improve your property’s appearance. Below, Superior Overhead Door in Oxford, CT, shares some of the most attractive features many of the best garage doors share. 

Customization Options to Consider for Your Garage Doors

1. Windows

Windows lining the upper section of your garage door let in natural light without exposing the contents to passersby. Garage door windows also allow for a variety of customization options. You can choose the standard square- or arched-shaped windows or opt for larger cathedral-style options. Additionally, while windows situated on the top half is most common, you can also opt for doors that have them placed vertically from top to bottom. In this case, you may want to use an opaque glass, such as reflective or tinted, so people can’t see inside.

2. Carriage House Doors

The carriage house style is characterized by its barn house look. These styles are built to look like high-quality barn doors and typically feature steel or brass handles and hinges, and a "swing out" appearance. Opt for a wood-grain texture to complete the rustic look, and consider a two-tone paint finish for added visual flair.

3. Exterior Glazing
