Who knew there were so many things about garage doors Marietta GA that a person could find amazing? There are a number of factors about them that make them unique from each other. These factors include how they add security to the home, the beauty and style of the door, how they can bring light into the garage through having windows, and how they can be environment friendly.
Improve Home Security
By adding security to the home, garage doors add uniqueness to the design of the home. They reduce the chance of theft or destruction to your vehicle. Oddly enough, they seem as though they would become an obvious target for robbery instead of your front door. If alarms are installed on the garage door, then the obvious target becomes bait that helps you alert the authorities even faster. How can one go wrong with something that can help them so greatly?
Add Curb Appeal
Color
The beauty and style of the door is possibly the biggest factor that creates uniqueness to the home. So many different styles and designs are available. Windows, colors, patterns, material, and even handles are changeable. All of these factors can create a custom design. More often than not, if there are windows on a garage door, they are located towards the top of the door. Colors have a great range, though everyone may agree that the most common color for a door is white. White is a simple color that helps bring unity the design of the home. The color white itself represents purity, though that might not come into one’s color choice when choosing a door.
Pattern
When describing the pattern of the door, it applies to any change in the actual surface of the door. For example, the pattern of the door could be four large rectangles that have a sort of valley in between them and the fore-surface to create depth and visual interest in the design.
Material
Material is obviously a choice. The 3 most common materials used for almost everything else (metal, wood, plastic) are the three main choices for a garage door. You could combine the reliability and low maintenance of a steel door with the beauty of a wooden carriage door! How? Paint your steel garage doors to look like wood! You’ll be surprised by the results.
Windows
Adding windows can bring light into the garage. Usually the windows are placed near the top of the garage doors, and several smaller windows are placed. Sunlight is nature’s beautiful gift that has “free” written all over it, metaphorically speaking of course. It’s just one of those simple bonuses to have. Sunlight is beautiful to have showing through the windows into the garage. Consider the shape of the windows even. Circular windows add sophistication to the design, or what we have called uniqueness.
Go Green!
Last but not least, we get to the environment friendly side of these doors. Yes, it may sound crazy, but even garage doors can be “green.” It is the largest moving part of the home, and should do so without using more power than the minimum power it should require. The door should be energy efficient, and the type of windows can even add to such an aspect. Heat can be maintained by the overall material design of the door. It can be made of recycled materials.
If you are not really into the whole “Go Green” mantra, think about it this way: it will save you money on your energy bill. Yes! Insulated garage doors save homeowners tons on energy bills, since most of use enter the house through the garage. True fact!
