Garage Door Video Tips: What Are Carriage House Garage Doors?
Posted by: | CommentsA popular modern style of garage door today is the “Carriage Garage Doors“.
Carriage house doors come in several different configurations and there is a large range in terms of pricing for these garage doors. But you typically get what
you pay for.
Some of the lesser cost models are a steel insulated garage door with just the outside skin made to look like a carriage house door. There is no overlay applied to the door and therefore no 3D effect with this type of door.
The more expensive types will use plastic or steel overlays which are bonded to the garage door panel to provide a 3 dimensional carriage door appearance. Even with these doors however you need to watch for the quality of the overlay itself.
My favorite carriage house garage door is made of a new material called “fibrex”. This is a combination of wood fibber and plastics. I like this door because the “fibrex” overlay is very bondable and will stick to the garage door panel for years to come. It also has terrific detail in the pattern of the overlay and provides a very authentic woodgrain look and texture.
The most important feature of the “fibrex” overlay door is that the material has very little expansion or contraction which means it will be much less likely to buckle over time and fall off the garage door panel.
I hope this helps…and enjoy the video!
Walt.
