How to choose your garage door easily

You want to transform your house? Why not replace your garage door and enjoy the most profitable renovation by choosing the model that will maximize the aesthetic and practical effect of your home. To increase the value of your home wisely, it is necessary to choose a garage door that will fit into your facade as if it were thought and personally designed to be installed. To help you succeed in your project, here are some important things to consider when you purchase.

1. The style

To choose the right garage door, it is important to select a door style that will match perfectly with the architectural style of your home. Indeed, the garage door is a prominent architectural element because it is large and is often located on the street frontage.

2. The color

Choose a door color that matches the color of your window frames or front door. You must also consider the hue of your exterior cladding and the mortar of the brick if applicable. Other colors may be added when choosing a door with surface moldings in different colors from the base surface. You can also select a framing overlay color different from the garage door color to create contrast. Several colors and shades of natural wood are available in fired paint. If you do not find the desired effect, choose a custom color that we will apply professionally.

3. Inserting windows

Garages are often places where the brightness is neglected. The addition of windows greatly increases the brightness effect created by natural daylight, especially when the garage interior is painted white. Just see a "before after" to see how nice it is to enjoy this type of brightness and enjoy its benefits on the mood. Decorative windows add presence to the door and contribute greatly to the level of personalization that allows you to differentiate yourself from your neighborhood. The windows can be provided with clear glass or privacy, inserted in rectangular frames or in arches and decorated with stylized mullions.

4. The type of recovery

The insulated sections of garage doors can be covered with various materials such as:

·        Steel: Impact resistant and galvanized to fight rust.

·        Aluminum: Offers a more flared wood grain finish.

·        The composite: Imitates natural wood in remarkable ways.

·        Wood: A noble material that elevates the prestige of a home.

5. The insulation

The level of insulation must correspond to the degree of heat maintained in the garage. A 2 "thick polyurethane door will give you greater energy efficiency and help reduce your heating costs. On the other hand, if the place where the door is installed is not heated, it is useless to invest unnecessarily. Insulation also has a positive impact on deflection effect and sound conductivity. It is also important to remember that during periods of heat wave, the more isolated the door, the warmer it will be inside the garage.

6. The ironwork components

To facilitate the movement of the door, it is necessary to be well equipped. The rails, hinges and cables must be quality and carefully aligned to reduce the friction effect that causes irritating noises. The springs must be calibrated perfectly and match the weight of the door, because they are the ones that absorb the load and create the energy that allows the opening of the door. JPR doors offer optional galvanized springs for strength and a more attractive look

7. The guarantee

Protect yourself by choosing a product that guarantees the door sections and also the ironwork. Do not be afraid to compare the conditions that govern its application, it will protect your investment. It is also important to consider the labor involved in replacing and installing the product. JPR Doors is one of the only garage door dealers to offer a warranty against spring breakage.

To conclude, choosing the best door is good, but it must be well installed. That's why you will need to carefully choose the company you want to work with for the purchase or custom design, as well as the installation of your new garage door. I hope this article has helped you to define the different elements that will help you find the most suitable door for you and your home!
