A Word On Garage DoorsNot only is the garage door one of the most visible elements of a typical house, it's also the largest moving part. As such, it pays to keep it looking good and working properly. The two main types of garage doors are sectional
roll-ups and swing-ups. A swing-up door is made from a single panel that
pivots out and upward. A sectional roll-up door, by far the most popular
type, is made of four or more horizontal sections that are hinged
together and mounted with rollers to tracks at each side. With this
type, the door can roll straight up and back. Though these tend to be
slightly more expensive, they're worth the extra cost in most cases
because they're easier to use and more weather resistant. Crown
Sectional Garage Doors come in a variety of custom design options,
making them unique in appearance and utility.
Both types of garage doors are generally manufactured from wood, steel,
aluminum and
fiberglass composites in flush, raised-panel, and recessed-panel
designs. They can be purchased with a variety of options such as windows,
and a selection of finishes: i.e. copper. |
