The Benefits of a Custom Garage Door

By Jim Hatley, January 4, 2021

When it comes to curb appeal, a custom garage door makes quite a statement. Rather than merely keeping the contents of your garage safe and secure, a well-chosen garage door that is customized to enhance the appearance of your building also adds value to your property.


Flaunt your Style

Custom garage doors can be created for both homes and businesses alike. If your company wants to stand out from the competition, an eye-catching commercial garage door that flaunts what you stand for and have to offer is an excellent choice.

The same can be said for residential garage doors where you, as the homeowner, would like your entire home to exude your personal style and values.


Tip: Be daring by choosing color, design, and finishes that match your personality. Why not go for decorative hardware or a pergola to frame your garage?


Custom Fit

Because custom garage doors are made in any shape or size, they can accommodate your unique requirements.

Whether your business needs large doors for 16-wheelers to fit through or you need a garage door big enough to keep your RV safe from the elements - custom garage doors are designed to suit your needs, ensuring that all your belongings are comfortably housed.


Tip: Consult with the Tri-Lakes Garage Doors team about whether your RV garage needs to be attached to your existing garage or built as a standalone structure.


Dig Deep

Get more use out of your basement with the addition of a basement garage door. The benefit of a garage door customized to fit the exact size and specifications of your basement is that it gives you an extra layer of security and keeps the space insulated.

This makes it ideal for storing valuables, such as ATVs, a boat, or high-end lawn equipment. It will also turn your basement into a top-notch place for a workshop throughout the year.


Tip: Keep your belongings safe with the most advanced garage door openers on the market.


Enhance Your Living Space

Glass garage doors that extend onto your back patio or garden open up your outdoor living space to take full advantage of the summer months.

A custom garage door also gives you the chance to add an additional layer of insulation to your home or business. Generally, standard garage doors are not insulated. Adding insulation to your garage door keeps your premises comfortable year-round while also saving you money on your utility bill.


Tip: If glass does not appeal to you, ask the Tri-Lakes Garage Doors team about the many other custom finishes such as fiberglass-faced doors and wood-finished steel doors.


Increase Your Living Space

With so many people working from home now, the need for extra space has become a top priority.

Instead of using your garage as a place to exclusively park your car, why not convert it into a home office, gym, laundry, or workshop?

This is another opportunity to install glass garage doors. Alternatively, if privacy is as much a consideration as light and ventilation, choose a custom garage door with window inserts, or fogged glass that provides both light and privacy. 


Tip: When designing your custom garage door, you get to decide where the windows go, the size, type, and style.


Be Unconventional

Depending on your space, you may need a garage door that opens in an unconventional manner. While custom garage doors can open by running on the traditional types of tracks, there are different mechanical lifts to open your door by swinging vertically or like that of an airplane hangar.


Tip: Cedar carriage house doors are a classic example of garage doors that open differently.
