When it comes time to choose a garage door for your home you will be faced with making certain decisions; what material do you want the door made from, what style do you have in mind and what is your budget for the door and installation.

Garage doors can be had from the most basis stock designs all the way through custom garage doors in Westchester, NY. When you specify a custom door, you can choose the type of insulation, whether it has glass inserts and what panel design suits the architectural appearance of your home. From a price point of view, you can buy a garage door in a “big box” store that will only last a few years, or you can have a true work of art made to your exacting specifications.

Stock garage door:

A basic door will not have any glass inserts, and the panel designs are unimaginative. Although these doors are basic, they are available at both the high end and low end of the spectrum. A low-end stock garage door will invariably be manufactured from light gauge stamped steel, it will have a basic set of rails and roller, and the installation is up to you. A higher spec, but still basic door will be pressed wood with recessed panels but still no glass.

Custom garage doors:

Custom garage doors in Westchester, NY are at the very high end of that which is available. As the homeowner, you have the choice of panel design, finishes, glazing, the best possible materials and the ability to customize the door to suit the architecture of the home. These custom made doors are often referred to as “carriage house” doors, made from the finest hardwoods and come with a lengthy guarantee. High-end steel doors are also available; these doors have insulation sandwiched between steel panels which also act as a sound dampener.

Custom garage doors in Westchester, NY are often specified by those that wish to enhance the appeal of their home. If you are looking for a firm that can supply and install custom garage doors you are invited to contact Action Lock & Door Company Inc.
