Give your garage door a makeover!

Your garage door plays an important role in the curb appeal of your home. This is why, if your garage door is old and damaged, you need to consider giving it a facelift! We the help professionals here at Bevins’ Door LLC, we came up with 9 valuable reasons why you should give your door a makeover.

1. Boost the value of your home

Many real estate agents will confirm that changing your old garage door for a new, more stylish one can help you sell your home faster, and easier. Garage doors take up 30 to 40% of your home’s surface. Make it count by harmonizing the colours and styles with the exterior material. Some garage doors come in as many as 15 colors in a baked-on paint finish, many different styles and a wide variety of windows, all of which can give your home a new look.

2. Lower your heating and cooling bills with an R-16 garage door

When choosing a new garage door, many like to look for a higher thermal resistance level. This is important for the insulation it can provide. The better insulated a door is, the more savings you will make from your heating and cooling bills. See, an insulated door will keep the warm air in during the cold season compared to other doors who will do nothing of the sort.

3. Reduce your maintenance time

Many garage doors of great quality are made with a pre-finished colour that requires close to no maintenance. No more scrubbing and repainting, with these doors all you’ll never is a little bit of mild soap, water and a towel. Even your kids could do it!

4. Protect items in your garage from weather conditions

If you’re someone who stores a lot in your garage, you’ll want to protect those items from the damage caused by extreme heat and cold. Choose an insulated door with a thermo barrier that prevents heat or cold from travelling from the outside surface to the inside surface. You can also combine this with a PVC weather-strip with screw cover and double fin rubber weather-strip.

5. Increase the use of your garage

With the use of an insulated garage door between R-12 and R-18, you will find the garage a more pleasant place to work in. Your garage can be used as a workshop, art studio, playroom or a heated storage room.

6. Increase the security of items stored in your garage

The thicker your garage door is, the more solid and safe it is. A thief could easily drill through a wooden door or kick in a weak garage door. With a thick garage door, you can rest assured the thieves will keep out!

7. Prevent easy access to your home

Make you to purchase a garage door opener that is safe and innovative. Many come with the rolling technology, a technology that guarantees safe use every time. Every time you open and close your garage door, your access code changes. This way, you can make sure that you’re the only one to have the code and never have to worry!

8. Reduce the risk of injury

Photo eyes which are now mandatory, sense when something is in the way or passing through the opening when the door is going down. This has two benefits, when the light beam is broken, the garage door will reverse back up when coming down to prevent an injury and/or turn on a light so you will see where you are going when it is dark.
