Garage doors are a big investment in the style and comfort of your home. Your garage doors can account for up to 30 percent of the exterior portion of a home that is visible from the street. The style, color and condition of the door has a great influence on the overall appearance and curb appeal of the home. When shopping for garage doors you should also consider the things you use your garage for. If it also serves as a workshop, utility room or children’s play area, then you will need a door with good insulating properties. Lowe’s is happy to provide this information as a service to you.
Sizing the Door
The first thing you must do when selecting a garage door is to determine what size door you need. Garage doors are available to fit virtually any opening, just measure your opening and take the measurements to your local Lowe’s to get the door you need. Use our a printable garage door measuring worksheet to make your measurements.
Style
Since garage doors make up such a large portion of your home’s exterior, the style you choose should complement the rest of your home’s exterior. Start your style selection by choosing a panel design. {summarized}
