Everyone’s needs are different, no more so than when it comes to garage doors. How do you go about choosing the type that will be right for you?

First, think about what you want from a door. Perhaps security is your main concern, or maybe you need to improve the insulation in your garage because you use it as a gym. This will help you narrow down the types of door your want.

If you main concern is a simple, robust door, up and over is likely to be the type for you. There are many designs available to suit your preferences and you can choose a material that appeals to you aesthetically. If you instead choose a more specialist door, your main options will be roller shutter, sectional and side hinged. Narrow these down by considering your main requirements from a new garage door, and look up the specs of different garage door brands.
