The Types of Garage Doors
Gone are the old manual doors. Today you’ll find that remote controlled and motorized garage doors have produced a more usable garage. The most popular style is the overhead garage door.
The primary concern in planning your Daytona Beach garage door is the material used. Selecting the best garage door materials for your needs will depend on a few things like the style of your home, and how warm you want your garage to be. There are 3 main materials for garage door construction: Wood, Steel and Fiberglass (GRP).
When you’re planning to install a garage door, you must consider door type and materials. You can also incorporate into your plan such things as wind-loaded doors for extra hurricane resistance.
The Most Popular Style is the Overhead Garage Door
Overhead garage doors are by far the most popular type of garage door available to homeowners. With automatic stop and begin features, people find overhead garage doors easy to use, with wonderful options and safety features.
Overhead garage doors work with a rolling system. The door rolls up and stores along the roof of the garage. Overhead door features to look for are that they are smooth, quiet and compact. Popular garage door manufacturers include Clopay, Genie, Liftmaster, and Wayne Dalton.
Commercial Garage Doors
Deciding on the right commercial garage doors is not really a complicated process, though it can be if you do not go about selecting them methodically. Obviously the most important part of the selection process is deciding on the exact size that you need, because if you are not able to fit the vehicle inside then the doors are useless. The largest option currently available is the Titan Steel service doors, which are 70 feet wide and 90 feet tall. These can fit just about anything inside, and the next size down are the Accordion Folding Grille types which are 50 feet wide and 10 feet tall.
Of course, if you need taller than 10 feet but not quite 50 feet wide, then you should go with the Model 800 Series. These doors are available insulated or not, and are 42 feet wide and 40 feet high, giving you a great deal of space to work with. Of course, most commercial garage doors are constructed of steel, aluminum, or stainless steel, and the aforementioned are no different. However, if you need a sturdier option, then the Model 926 is the way to go. This 12 foot by 12 foot option is built of galvanized steel, making it an incredibly strong and durable option for those that need it.
Other special materials that can be used in the construction of these garage doors include wood and 26 gauge steel. For the wooden types, you can have a wood counter shutter model that is 14 feed wide by 7 feet high, and the steel options comprise the DS series of roll up doors that can come in 16 foot by 16 foot configurations. The DS series of doors are used for self storage and can be secured with either curtain lock or slide bolt.
If you need commercial garage doors with fire protection, there are options as well. The Atler fire shutter is designed for this very need and can be 16 foot by 8 foot. The FireStar 700 series also fall into this category, and can provide security and protection in widths of 32 feet and heights of 24 feet. In other words, you should not have any problem finding the exact door you need for any purpose.
