3 Things to Always Consider: Garage Door Sizes, Types, and Quality
When purchasing a garage door for a new garage at home or for replacing an old one, it is important to consider the garage door sizes, type and quality. Without it, we may end up buying a useless garage door and wasting our money.
In determining the size of our door, we first measure the width (usually on the opening) because garage door sizes almost always comes in width size first (ex. 8×7 ft door size means the width is 8 and the height is 7 ft).
To have an idea of standard garage door sizes, look at the different dimensions below:
Single car door size
The sizes for this type are: 8×7 ft, 9×7 ft, 10×7 ft, 8×8 ft, 9×8 ft and 10×8 ft.
Double car door size
The sizes for this type are: 12 x 7 ft, 14 x 7 ft and 16 x 7 ft. They are also available in 18 x 7 ft, 12 x 8 ft, 14 x 8 ft, 16 x 8 ft and 18 x 8 ft.
Golf Cart Size
The usual sizes of golf carts are: 5 x 7 ft, 4 x 8 ft and 6 x 8 ft. there is also a 6 feet wide golf cart size and a 5×6ft.
Apart from getting the garage door sizes, we also need to know the type of material that makes up the door we need for our home. For example, if we want our door to fit and go with the architectural design of our house then we need the wooden type of door because wooden garage doors comes in many designs and type. If we go the practical way and want a secure type of door, we go for the thick steel doors because they are durable, long-lasting and can withstand extreme kinds of temperature and pressure.
The last consideration we must think in purchasing garage doors is the quality of the built and construction. We must carefully scrutinize how the screws and handles were placed. We must make sure that there are no loose screws to prevent the door from falling apart easily and making it a burglar-friendly garage door. We need a secure door to protect our properties behind it. We need a door of the best quality to get our money’s worth.
The size, type and quality of door must be chosen by both you and your partner, ideally. This is for the reason that the garage, although often is a man’s turf, is still a part of the house where the family lives. Security is not a small deal and therefore, all must be vigilant in finding the right door.
