Choosing a Style of Garage Door

Garage Door Customization, General

When choosing a new garage door, for most homeowners, nothing is more important than the style and design.  Learn more about the three types of styles that you’ll find with most garage doors—Traditional, Carriage House, and Modern and find one that suits you and your home.  Click on the link below to learn more about Overhead Door’s garage door styles that are available to you:

Traditional Wood Collection

Our Traditional Wood rail and stile garage doors appear elegantly timeless.  The traditional look of rail and stile wood doors adds richness, depth and lasting design.  These doors come in framed or raised panel designs.  A solid arched top is available, along with many window styles.  They use rust resistant track and hardware which are constructed of hot-dipped galvanized steel.

The Traditional Wood Collection also offers a flush panel option which offers modern simplicity.  The smoothness of the flush panel design works well with a variety of traditional and modern architectural styles. There is a wide variety of glass options available for your windows including insulated, satin etched, obscure, and more.  If you’re looking for a contemporary or minimalist look, the flush panel garage door is a great fit!

Carriage House Collection

Our Carriage House Collection gives you the look and appearance of the wood carriage style swing doors, but these doors are actually made of steel! The steel results in increased durability and thermal performance for you. They come with or without windows and with a square or arched top design.  You can choose a painted finish, two-toned painted finish or a stained finish.  The polyurethane insulation that is used provides thermal efficiency with an R-value of 10.

Modern Aluminum Collection

If you’re in search of sleek, sophisticated garage doors, our Modern Aluminum Collection is your answer.  It combines glass and aluminum for visual appeal, strength and light infiltration.  It’s a unique solution for your home.  Additional weather resistance is used between the section seals.  A commercial-grade aluminum frame is used for low-maintenance and corrosion resistant.  Stylish hardware including hinges and fixtures are galvanized to maintain a contemporary look for you.

Overhead Door has a tool called DoorView, which is an interactive web-based design tool that allows you to upload a picture of your home and try on new styles and colors of garage doors to get an idea of how your house will look.  You can save these photos to compare them to each other.

If you live in or around Mason City, IA; Albert Lea, MN; or Olmsted County, MN, and are interested in seeing some different garage door styles available to you, stop into your local garage door showroom. We have section samples on hand and can help you determine what style would best complement your home.

"HI called them and they were extremely friendly and made you feel comfortable. I told him my problems and he knew what was wrong. They scheduled me for the next day and they came when they said they would. The two men that came were very professional. Upbeat and knew their job. The job took them 15 minutes. They oiled everything up. (above and beyond) I will use them again I hope I don’t have the need anytime soon. But I would recommend them highly."
