Windows – The right windows in your garage door can add light inside and curb appeal outside. Windows are available in plain panels all the way through ornate styles with wrought iron. You can also decide between a full size window or partial window, including a series to create an arch.
Door Panels – You can opt for more vintage looks, more modern looks and just about every look in between when choosing the panel style for your garage door. Even the grain of the panels contributes to the overall look. Of course, you can also choose a different a materials all together to really set the tone for the door.
Custom Colors – Many doors can be custom painted to be an exact match to your home’s paint color depending on the paint supplier used. This can take your garage door from looking plain to planned – and be easily incorporated into your home’s design.
Accents – To complete the look a few small details can make a difference. On a garage door the decorative hardware can include handles, step plates and hinges. As you select a new door, consider if these are the finishing touch for your home.
