Why You Need a Steel Garage Door

The Benefits of Steel Garage Doors

In the Northeastern region of the United States, we are unfortunately no strangers to the harsh weather patterns and conditions we face throughout the year. From hot and humid summers to snow covered winters, we experience it all. While our families and personal belongings remain protected inside, our vehicles and other supplies can be left to their own devices without a proper residential or commercial door. One of the more modern options on the market today that is designed to withstand the harsh elements, all while requiring less maintenance, is the steel garage door. Not only are steel garage doors strong and resistant to many forms of warping, cracking, and denting, but they can also improve your property’s curb appeal with their paneling design. 


Here are a few benefits and reasons why you may want to consider switching to a steel garage door: 


Minimal Maintenance: Unlike traditional wooden doors that require consistent upkeep, steel garage doors are made from strong metals that will not need frequent painting or maintenance to keep it looking and operating great. In addition to their ability to withstand heavy winds and other elements, they are also relatively lightweight which will not put much strain on your cables and springs after repetitive use. 


Energy-Efficient: On top of steel, these doors are also equipped with high-quality insulation that work to prevent drafts and internal heat from escaping your garage. With the temperature being regulated, your home will remain cool in the summer and warm in the winter, in turn improving your energy-efficiency. This extra insulation also acts as a barrier between the weather and your vehicles. 


Many Color & Style Options: To best meet the style preferences and color pallet of property owners, these steel garage doors can be customized with a wide range of panel designs and color options outside the normal white, grey, and dark brown. If you enjoy the look of glass window inserts, these doors can accommodate that.

While home and business owners like to save money where they can, when it comes to repairing your garage door, it is important to leave the job to the professionals as you can be extremely harmed if you are unsure of what you are doing. While these doors are convenient, it becomes very inconvenient when they are no longer working. If you are noticing that your garage door is making a lot of noise or the door itself is looking uneven, it might be time to call the professionals. Some common issues with residential and commercial garage doors include: Trouble Opening or Closing- If your garage door is not opening or shutting as it should be, it may be an indication that your door is off balance. It could also be an issue with a fuse or something obstructing the sensors. Broken Springs- Your garage door is equipped with extension and torsion springs. When these snap you'll hear a loud banging sound and your garage door can quickly fall if it is opened. Having your garage door maintained every so often will prevent your springs from breaking at an inconvenient time. Roller Issues- If the rollers are old and rusted and lubricating them is not working, they may need to be replaced. Sounds- If you are noticing unusual sounds coming from your garage door, there is probably something wrong with it including loose chains or rollers, broken springs, alignment issues, and more. Uneven Door- If your garage door is moving unevenly, there may be something blocking its path or there is rust in the unit.
