Residential Garage Door Materials

Materials

The material of your garage doors affects durability, maintenance needs, energy efficiency, and curb appeal. That’s nearly everything that you need to consider when choosing new garage doors, so it’s hard to overstate its importance. At Fimbel Garage Doors, all our products are made from the highest quality materials. Before you decide on a material, we will ensure you understand all your options to make the best choice for your budget, maintenance expectations, and home location.

Steel

Steel doors are a top choice for homeowners because they offer superior durability, low maintenance, and high security. When insulated, steel doors provide excellent energy efficiency. While a more affordable option than other materials, steel still offers many design options and is available in multiple styles and colors.

Wood

When it comes to curb appeal, nothing beats the look of real wood. Wood provides a warm, natural look that other materials can’t quite imitate, even if they come close. Although they require more maintenance than other materials, wood doors are easily restored and repaired, are highly customizable, and offer natural insulation and noise reduction.

Composite

Composite garage doors give you the look of natural wood without the maintenance requirements. Made from a combination of wood fibers, resins, and plastic, composite doors offer the superior durability, low maintenance, and insulation of steel but with the aesthetic appeal of wood.

Vinyl

Lightweight and durable, vinyl is a low-maintenance and corrosion-resistant material that reduces wear on garage door openers. Vinyl is difficult to dent or scratch and does not need to be painted or finished because the color is embedded into the material. It can be insulated for better energy efficiency and is available in several colors and styles.
