New doors guide

Buying a New Garage Door Learning guide. (residential only)

There are Endless amount Of doors.
Im gonna make you some order and categories them So it easy and understandable.
We can divide all doors to 4 different types. and I added one Semi catagorie, 1.5.

1. Traditional-

Most common by far, fit for any house style, simple design. These doors are in stock at all suppliers warehouses in white color (with or without windows), So if you want something that will fit, and needed it Installed quickly- (Next few days or even tomorrow) for an affordable price that will be the right choice.

Design wise, there are typically 3 designs for "Traditional" door.
* Short panel




* Long panel




* Flush





We can paint all doors at any color after installing the door, as well any sherwin-williams can be
matched and painted by the factory.

Windows can be added at the size of the rectangular of the short or the long panel.
usually there are at the top panel, but you can add wherever you like. As well decoration can be added, and verity of glass type are available. Clear, frosted, tint and many more.

And then, there are 3 type of construction for these doors.
No insulation-
Basically one layer of steel.
Vinyl back-
Also called Polly back. Semi insulated with vinyl at the back
fully insulated-
Called steel backThat means layer of steel, Insulation, and another layer of steel.

1.5. Semi traditional semi carriage court

That would be the Semi category, it somewhere between the Traditional to the next one which is Carriage court.
Most of the fact I mentioned for a traditional door will match,
but they have a slight different design types that can be considered as a carriage court.
We can get them install as quick as the Traditional designs, since we need to pre-order them.
It can take up to few weeks.

2. Carriage court-

The old-fashioned design. Usually made out of steel, but wooden option are available.
Many doors come with recessed panels, that can also called Carriage court,
Or the authentic Carriage court with the diagonal pieces.

3. Modern Door-

For modern houses.
These doors you can get smooth as ice as I heard or read before.
Windows design-You can get smaller windows.
Second type of modern doors is the full view door.
All glass with aluminum.

4. Wooden Doors.

Not sure if they are a category but I would give them one.
Not very common in these days, they are more expensive and require
more maintenance, also the still ones from more than 3 ft away can look like wood.
yet, it brings some unique extra value. We have some models made of real wood.

Prices? Well Give or take it's not a quote.
Traditional single door- (Double doors are About %50 more)
No insulation -$1500
Semi Insulated -$1500+ Little
Fully Insulated- $2000
Windows-Few hundreds Extra.
There are few colors you can choose that just change timing but not the price.
The rest of the models changes.

R value-

The higher the R-value, more insulated the door is.
Means that higher R-value will help to keep you garage worm in the winter,
and cooler through summers. Avg door R-value will move from 5-15.
R-value -5- is more or less what a real wooden door gives you, it is considered low
but it makes a big different, One layer of still door won't have any R-value.
In WA state the climate isn't extreme, but a little bit of R-value can be usefull.
(In my opinion)

Hardware-

Decorative hardware can be added to any door.
