Can a Traditional Garage Door Enhance Your Home’s Look?

An In-Depth Look at Traditional Garage Door Styles and Features

Whether you have a new home that you want to enhance with traditional design elements or an older home that already has a classic style, you shouldn’t forget about updating your garage door when you renovate.

Today’s garage doors are much more than utilitarian appliances. They can have the same style of design as your home and can actually enhance your home’s appearance.

You will not have to sacrifice anything when you choose a classic door design. Modern metal door manufacturers have mastered the art of creating cutting‑edge doors that also have a classic style. This means you can have a traditional door, such as one that looks like a carriage house door from the 1950s, that also has modern features such as weatherproofing and insulation.

Is your home “traditional?”

You might have some confusion when deciding if you actually have a traditional or classic home that would benefit from the aforementioned garage door. Often, classic homes have a successful blend of styles that have evolved to follow popular trends of past eras. Examples of classic homes include (but are not limited to) bungalows, ranch‑style or cottage‑style homes that are one or two stories high. Modern homes that mimic these classic looks may also be candidates for a traditional‑looking garage door.
