Custom Garage Doors
Custom-made garage doors are manufactured to fit the dimensions and architectural style of your home. They can be designed from scratch or adapted from existing designs to complement your home's architectural style, aesthetic preferences, and functional requirements.
Design elements such as panel styles, materials, window placements and finishes are customized to create a cohesive look that enhances the overall appearance of your home.
Choose from a wide range of materials, including timber (raw, stained or painted), steel, aluminium, glass, mesh, polycarbonate, or a combination of materials. Each material offers unique characteristics in terms of durability, insulation, maintenance and aesthetic appeal.
Whether it's a contemporary, traditional, rustic, or modern design, custom-made garage doors offer endless possibilities for customization, allowing homeowners to create a one-of-a-kind focal point that adds value & curb appeal to the home.
Where to start?
1 - Research
-
Style & Design
What architectural style & design are you building or what is the current style & design of your home (modern, traditional, colonial, ...).
This will be a factor in determining the type of garage door (panel, roller, tilt or other)
-
Materials & Colour
What cladding materials do you like - timber, steel, aluminium, glass, polycarbonate, composite or other.
What Colorbond, powder coat or timber look colours do you like.
Materials like timber may also allow staining or painting
2 - Measurements
-
Opening
Measure the width and height of the garage opening, noting any significant changes from one side to the other (L to R).
-
Headroom & Backroom
Measure the space between the top of the garage opening and the ceiling (headroom) & the distance from the garage opening to the back wall of the garage (backroom).
Also identify any obstructions like pipes, ducts or beams that may get in the way of door operation.
This will help determine the type of garage door (panel, roller, tilt, other) that will fit your opening.
