Steel Garage Doors

Steel garage doors are gaining in popularity due to these great advantages:

• Less expensive than comparable wooden doors
• Virtually maintenance-free – they resist rust, don’t require repainting, don’t warp, and are much more weather-resistant than wood
• Longer lasting and carry longer warranties
• Built-in finger protections systems (great for when there are small children around)
• Improved security – steel doors are nearly impossible to pry open
• Can provide greater insulation than wooden doors – keep your garage (or entryway to your home) warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and quieter year-round

The only downsides to steel doors:

• While there are a number of quality simulated textures, they can’t compete with real wood for that natural look
• Steel doors come in a wide range of widths and heights to fit most standard openings, but some custom-built homes require more versatility in sizing

Wooden Garage Doors

Advantages of wood doors:

• Doors can be custom-built to virtually any design
• Doors can be designed to look as if the swing, fold, or slide open
• The look and feel of natural wood brings a special warmth and beauty to your home, especially when finished with a stain to enhance the grain and texture
• A number of varieties of wood are available such as red and white cedar, which lend themselves well to Michigan weather
• Helps to create a true cottage, rustic, or traditional look to the entry of your home

Some downsides to wood doors:

• More expensive option
• Requires periodic maintenance to repaint/stain in order to maintain weather-resistant properties (about as often as you’d repaint the exterior of your home)

Metal Carriage Doors

We are pleased to present a new option that is the best of both worlds: The American Traditions Series from Haas Door Company. These doors feature the elegant look of classic 18th and 19th-century carriage house doors that swung open sideways but are actually steel sectional doors that easily roll up and out of the way.

• Low-maintenance steel
• Elegant wood-grain finish
• More affordable than traditional wood carriage doors
• Customizable finishes to suit your needs
