If you're building a home and looking for the right garage door, or if you're old garage door is no longer functioning as it should, there are a few things to consider as you shop for a new door. A garage door needs to be more than just functional. It needs to provide insulation, safety, security, and aesthetics. Since the look of your garage door makes up about 40% of the exterior of your home, you want to make sure you're choosing a design that you love. But while doing that, make sure the door also has a few other important features. First, your door should provide adequate insulation. This may come down to the type of material the door is insulated with, whether polyurethane or polystyrene. Polystyrene may be thicker but it usually has a lower insulation value. Polyurethane is thinner but offers a high insulation value. It also helps strengthen the door and reduce noise. Safety is also important. Your door should have pinch resistant doors and sensors that keep the door from closing when objects or people are in the way. Security is also important. You want a door that is durable and will keep the items in your garage safe. The type of material makes a difference. Wood doors may look good but they aren't as secure and require more maintenance. Steel or fiberglass doors are usually a better option. The motor of your garage door is also important. Talk to a garage door expert about the options for motors that are best for your needs. Innovative Door, Inc. is the best choice for a garage door Alpharetta or Marietta that can offer. (href="http://www.idcgaragedoor.com)
