Garage doors for your new home are critical — both functionally and aesthetically. Ensuring the style you select matches your property guarantees top curb appeal and a boost in your house’s value. Here are five types of garage doors to consider for your home renovation.

Different Styles of Garage Doors for a New Home

1. Swing Out

Swing-out doors are usually in a carriage-style house and work well when you want to keep the ceiling of your garage clear. They also add character to your home’s curb appeal and come in different materials, such as wood or aluminum. Swing-out doors can be manual or motorized, depending on your needs.

2. Sliding

Sliding doors are sometimes referred to as barn doors and are also excellent for keeping ceilings clear. Sliding doors are perfect for areas with limited space and do not have enough square footage for doors that swing out or up.

3. Roll Up

Roll-up garage doors are a popular home renovation choice. Most houses feature this style that utilizes a track for the door to travel on as it retracts into the ceiling of the garage. When choosing this style, ensure there is head clearance when the door is in the open position. Usually, frames require at least 14 inches for this installation. For garages that are smaller or larger, custom doors and tracks are available.

4. Swing Up

Much like the name describes, swing-up garage doors lift up and out. For these doors, it is necessary to have enough space for them to activate safely. Unlike the roll-up, these swing up in one solid piece. Similarly, however, clearance overhead inside the garage is necessary.

5. Double Door

Depending on the opening of your garage, double doors are an attractive home renovation that also will afford you more space for larger vehicles and equipment since they open and close together. Double doors can be designed in any movement style and material.
