If you need a garage door for your home, there are a number of standard models available. However, if you have a few specific qualities in mind for your new door, you can also choose to have a custom garage door fabricated to suit your needs. Here are some of the benefits of having your door made to order.

Why Choose a Custom Garage Door

1. Fit Unusual Sizes

Standard garage doors are usually eight or nine feet wide for a single garage and 16 feet for a double, with heights ranging between seven and 12 feet. While these standards do offer some flexibility in sizing, you may need an in-between size or a larger door to fit your specific needs. For instance, if your driveway layout means you need more room to maneuver or if you have an unusually large vehicle, a larger custom garage door may be more practical.

2. Customize Aesthetics

Even if you have a standard sized garage door, the style and appearance you want may not be available in that size. Elements such as recessed panels, molding, iron fittings, windows, and other aesthetic details can be added to a custom door to suit your vision.

3. Choose Material & Insulation

Various garage door materials also provide many benefits. For instance, a wooden door has a classic, natural look, while an aluminum door is light and durable, and a steel door is best for security. Not only can you choose the material which you prefer without worrying about size and style, but you can also add insulation to the design to help keep your heating and cooling bills low while making the garage more comfortable to spend time in year-round.
