Steel

Steel is the most popular material for garage doors because they are durable, low maintenance and available in just about any style. Steel can be painted, and it is available in textures that give the feel of real wood. When considering a steel garage door, keep in mind that steel is not the best insulator, so insulated doors are a smart choice for saving energy and reducing noise. Additionally, steel doors come in a variety of thicknesses to fit a scale of budgets. While thinner doors may be more affordable, they’re durability also decreases.

Aluminum

Aluminum garage doors share many characteristics with steel, but with some key differences. Aluminum is lighter but also more apt to dent than steel. Having said that, new technology has added strength to this material with dent-resistant options available. Because it’s lightweight, it’s a better option for extra wide double doors.

ENERGY EFFICIENT

When considering the energy efficiency of your home, the garage isn’t typically the space most home owners are concerned about. But, your garage can have a big impact on the efficiency of your home, and heat-loss in this space should be well thought through. Do you spend a lot of time in your garage? Does your garage open into a main room in your home? Do you use your garage as a workspace? Is there a room above your garage? You may not realize it, but without proper insulation in your residential garage, you’re welcoming cold weather into your home and wasting energy. The best way to ensure your garage door is energy efficient is to choose a door with a high R-value (Thermal Resistance Factor).
