Why You Need a Steel Garage Door

The Benefits of Steel Garage Doors

In the Northeastern region of the United States, we are unfortunately no strangers to the harsh weather patterns and conditions we face throughout the year. From hot and humid summers to snow covered winters, we experience it all. While our families and personal belongings remain protected inside, our vehicles and other supplies can be left to their own devices without a proper residential or commercial door. One of the more modern options on the market today that is designed to withstand the harsh elements, all while requiring less maintenance, is the steel garage door. Not only are steel garage doors strong and resistant to many forms of warping, cracking, and denting, but they can also improve your property’s curb appeal with their paneling design. 

Here are a few benefits and reasons why you may want to consider switching to a steel garage door: 

Minimal Maintenance: Unlike traditional wooden doors that require consistent upkeep, steel garage doors are made from strong metals that will not need frequent painting or maintenance to keep it looking and operating great. In addition to their ability to withstand heavy winds and other elements, they are also relatively lightweight which will not put much strain on your cables and springs after repetitive use. 

Energy-Efficient: On top of steel, these doors are also equipped with high-quality insulation that work to prevent drafts and internal heat from escaping your garage. With the temperature being regulated, your home will remain cool in the summer and warm in the winter, in turn improving your energy-efficiency. This extra insulation also acts as a barrier between the weather and your vehicles. 

Many Color & Style Options: To best meet the style preferences and color pallet of property owners, these steel garage doors can be customized with a wide range of panel designs and color options outside the normal white, grey, and dark brown. If you enjoy the look of glass window inserts, these doors can accommodate that.
