Stratford Garage Door

Amarr’s Stratford model steel garage door is another great example of a versatile, basic door. Made from 25 gauge steel formed into a raised panel design, these doors look appealing and perform well in any home. Different options available enable home owners to personalize their new garage door to match the home’s exterior. Amarr offers a 15 or 25 year warranty on the paint finish of the doors, and  a 1 or 2 year warranty for the hardware. We also provide a solid labor warranty on  garage door installations.

Insulation

Adding a layer of polystyrene insulation can not only add to the energy efficiency of a new garage door,  it can make the operation of the door quieter as well. Amarr’s insulation option gives their Stratford model garage door a R-value of 6.84.

• Basic Steel and Wood

Basic Steel

Most garage doors installed today fall under this least expensive category. Manufacturers will generally offer a non-insulated steel garage door as their base model. 25 gauge steel is typically used, although some “builder’s grade” doors can be thinner (remember, the smaller the number, the thicker the metal). Basic steel doors usually have a raised panel effect with a wood grain design pressed into the steel.

Basic Wood

Basic wooden garage doors are only slightly more expensive than their steel cousins. These are made from pine and composite materials. The construction of these doors gives them a recessed panel effect.

Depending on what options are added, the “basic model’s” cost can add up quickly, but the least expensive garage door will usually be of this type. Different levels of insulation (with or without steel covering the inside of the door), and decorative widows are a commonly purchased upgrade.

• Steel Carriage Style Garage Doors, Composite, and Wood

Steel Carriage Style

Made to look like a old-time carriage house door, these steel garage doors are becoming more affordable as their popularity continues to grow. They are usually a step up from the basic doors, and tend to have warranties and qualities that reflect that price difference. Just as before, options, such as insulation and windows, can be added to these doors.

Raised Panel

The next step up in wood doors would be to move to an insulated, composite model. Insulation is sandwiched between the composite front and back. These will still have a woodgrain texture, and can have windows, as well. Sometimes a wooden, raised panel garage door can be in this middle price range, as well.

• Custom Doors

Custom

It’s not really fair to say a custom door can cost more than the last set of doors. The variety of materials available for building really makes these doors versatile in more ways than one, including price. They’re a great way to add some curb appeal to your home, but they do tend to be more expensive than a basic steel or wood.

• Vinyl and other specialty materials

See-Through

These garage doors have been around for awhile, but their high cost seems to deter most customers. They are scratch, dent, and fade resistant, and have extensive warranties. Most of these will be insulated, and will have an exterior similar to how a raised panel steel door looks. Some garage door manufacturers have begun selling “green” garage doors, made from recycled materials. Even ornamental iron doors are available. Glass, or see through, doors are also available. This last category will always be a little pricier than the others.
