Benefits of Steel Garage Doors
Incredible Durability
With a heavy-duty steel construction and thick insulation, steel garage doors withstand daily use and weather events with minimal dents and dings. Steel also maintains its structural integrity, unlike wood, which warps and rots over time.
Energy Efficiency
If you want to boost your home’s energy efficiency, consider an insulated steel garage door. Insulation is a barrier against outside temperatures, keeping your garage cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
Low Maintenance
Steel garage doors also require minimal upkeep. Clean the garage exterior with a mild detergent and water every 6-8 months, and your steel garage door will look its best.
Design Versatility
One of the best parts about steel garage doors is you can design them to match your taste and home style. Manufacturers offer a wide range of styles, textures, and colors to choose from when designing your new garage door, from modern to carriage to traditional.

Why You Should Upgrade to Insulated Steel Garage Doors
Adding a layer of polyurethane or polystyrene insulation can elevate the durability and energy efficiency of your steel garage doors even more. Insulation is a barrier against outside temperatures, keeping hot weather out and cool AC in during the summer. Insulated garage doors make your garage more comfortable and reduce your home’s energy costs, especially if you have living spaces above or beside the garage.
For the ultimate energy efficiency, we recommend polyurethane garage doors, which have a spray foam injected between the steel layers that hardens into a solid barrier.
Polyurethane-insulated garage doors are also more durable and resist dents from stray balls and lawn accidents. However, the more affordable choice is polystyrene, which are foam blocks that still provide a good energy efficiency boost for your home.

Are steel garage doors cheaper than wood?
