Selecting the right garage door seems simple, right? However, when you begin shopping for doors, there are countless styles, sizes, accessories, and functional options. All of a sudden, a straight forward task can become overwhelming. Overhead Door Company is here to offer expert advice and help you make the best investment for your home with residential garage door selection as well as high quality commercial doors for your business.

①Highest Quality Insulation For Your Environment
Quality garage doors have a higher R-value number. The R-value indicates the insulation’s energy efficiency. If you don’t need temperature regulation for your garage, you can consider a lower R-value. However, to keep garage contents protected from temperature variations and to save energy, you will want a higher R-value insulation. This can be an important decision for commercial garage door environments when you have an entire wall of doors.

②Higher Rated Torsion Springs Will Last Longer
Traditional torsion springs have a life cycle of approximately 10,000 cycles, which is about nine years if you are opening and closing your garage door three times a day. If you use your garage doors more than what is generally suggested, invest in higher rated torsion springs that will last longer. Overhead Door Company has higher quality spring rated options to extend the life of your garage doors. In some cases commercial garage doors are used very frequently, so quality springs can minimize maintenance needs.

③Understand Steel Gauge Measurement
Having the best gauge for your steel garage doors matters. The lower the gauge measurement, the thicker the steel is. 24 gauge doors are thicker than 26 gauge doors and thus, are more durable and resistant to environmental or accidental damage such as hail and wayward basketballs or baseballs.

④Convenience and Security with Touchless, Easy Access
Updating to a wifi garage door opener provides the ultimate in convenience and security at your fingertips. The latest in technology allows you to connect your opener to your phone, or even multiple phones, with a user-friendly app. Wherever you are, no matter what time of day, you can have access to your garage doors. With the touch of a button or the sound of your voice, you can open your garage door for an imptotu visitor, serviceman, or package delivery, and then quickly secure your home again. Additionally, in a time when you want to stay safe from the spread of germs and illnesses, a voice activated, touchless opener provides reassurance.

⑤Expert Installation Makes a Significant Difference
Quality garage doors are heavy and require precise balancing and component installation thus, both personal safety of the installer is at risk as well as proper function of the doors. It is best to rely on the best garage door experts who have a reputation for quality installation and service. Garage door technicians have the experience and expertise required for such a rigorous installation. Professional garage door companies also have established warranties for doors and parts should you need service and repair.
