10 Reasons to Replace Garage Door Systems

The traditional way to use his garage door for parking a car has changed over the past years. Replacing his old garage door system can change completely the perspective of your garage and brings undeniable advantages to home's8217;s owner. Garaga, one of the leading sectional garage door manufacturers in Canada, has listed ten valuable reasons to replace your old garage door :    




1.   
Increase the value of your home.

In many cases the garage door represents up to one third of the front of your home. Replacing an old garage door with a new stylish maintenance free door will do wonders for the value of your home. Many Real Estate agents will confirm that it is easier to sell your home when the garage door looks good.



2.   
Improve the appearance of your home.

Some garage doors come in as many as 15 baked-on paint finished modern colours, many different styles and a wide variety of windows, all which can give your home a new look.



3.   
Lower your heating and cooling bills with an R-16 Insulated garage door.

A properly insulated garage door can pay for itself over time by reducing your energy costs by keeping the heat out in the summer and the cold out in the winters. This savings will occur when you have living quarters above the garage or when the garage is being used as a work shop.



4.   
Reduce your maintenance time on the front of your door by not having to scrap, patch, paint or stain your garage doors year after year.

Many metal doors are low maintenance when you choose a pre-finished colour, which require only mild soap and water for cleaning. So say good-bye to painting and scraping and hello to more leisure time.

Note: applying a spray on car wax in spring and fall can keep your door looking its best for years to come.



5.   
Protect items stored in your garage from the elements.

Many people use their garage for storage. To protect those items from the damage caused by extreme heat and cold, choose an insulated door which comes with a thermo barrier that prevents heat or cold from traveling from the outside surface to the inside surface. Combine this with a PVC weather-strip with screw cover and double fin rubber seal and bottom rubber weather-strip and you have one of the tightest sealing sectional doors in the market. Few manufactures offer this. Beware of rubber seals that are not soft and springy as they may not hold to the door allowing the elements in the garage area as well as become hard and crack over time.



6.   
Increase the uses for your garage.

With the use of an insulated garage door between R-12 & R-18, you will find the garage a more pleasant place to work in. Your garage can be used as a workshop, art studio, playroom, heated storage room, special party room for large crowds, music room or what ever else comes to mind.



7.   
Increase the security of items stored in your garage.

It is much easier to kick in or drill through a wooden or metal non-insulated door than a metal insulated door which is at least 1 ¾'s8221; thick and has a metal skin front and back. This can be enough to deter a thief from trying to break through a metal insulated door.



8.   
Prevent easy access to your home.

The garage door is the largest access to your home. Many new garage door openers come with the rolling code technology, which makes it far more difficult to gain access when the opener uses one of 100-billion new codes each time the door is opened.



9.   
Reduce the risk of injury.

Many old garage door openers are not equipped with photo electric eyes. Photo eyes which are now mandatory, sense when something is in the way or passing through the opening when the door is coming down. This has two benefits, when the light beam is broken the garage door will reverse back up when coming down to prevent an injury and / or turn on a light so you will see where you are going when it is dark.



10.   
Brand means quality

Garaga is a family company firmly committed to the quality of their products and has earned the reputation as the leader in innovation, dependability and complete customer satisfaction.



Finally, buying a garage door is an investment for upcoming years, because the door represents up to one third of the front of your home. A brand-new Garaga door increases the value of your home, the uses of the garage and reduces the risk of injury. Our experts can assist you concerning the Garaga product line.
