Garage Door Materials
Steel Garage Doors
Steel is a top pick for many residential garage doors thanks to its strength, security, and minimal upkeep. Most steel doors are coated to resist rust and are available in a wide range of finishes, including wood-look textures. With regular cleaning and occasional touch-ups, a quality steel door can last 15–20 years or more.
Composite Overlay Garage Doors
For homeowners who want the look of wood without the upkeep, composite overlay doors are an excellent choice. Our faux wood doors are constructed with an insulated steel base door for strength and durability and topped with a moisture-resistant composite overlay molded from natural wood boards. This gives the doors their realistic grain patterns and textures while keeping them low-maintenance. Like wood, the doors can be painted, and in most instances, stained, for a look that is distinctly yours.
Natural Wood Garage Doors
Wood doors, meanwhile, are prized for their classic beauty and custom design options. They do require the most maintenance. Periodic painting or staining is needed to protect against moisture and sun damage, but real wood garage doors can last decades when properly cared for.
Aluminum & Glass Garage Doors
Among their many benefits, aluminum and glass garage doors are not susceptible to rust or corrosion, which make them a great choice for long-lasting aesthetic appeal. Aluminum garage doors are also lightweight and versatile, making them a common choice for not only garages, but also for indoor partitions and patios.
Clopay® offers aluminum garage doors with a range of glass options that help homeowners choose the perfect degree of light transmission, providing natural light from outside during the day, and the warm glow of interior lighting in the evening.
