Does the Colour of My Garage Door Matter?
Q: Does the colour of my garage door matter?
A: Choosing a new garage door for your home can be an exciting process; once the new door is installed, your home will have a nice refreshed appearance! One essential decision you’ll want to make for your garage door is choosing which colour you’d like. The modern garage doors from Richard-Wilcox come in a variety of colours, so to help you select the best colour garage door for your home, read through the suggestions below.
Decide what style of garage door you want for your home
The first step in your garage door selection process, is to determine what style of door you’d like. Door styles can feature traditional overhead doors to Carriage House style doors open outwards. Once you know the style you prefer, you can see which colour options are available.
Take the Canadian weather into account
If you live in Canada and face temperatures that get very cold in the winter, you’ll want to get an insulate door. In regards to colour selection, dark coloured doors will absorb light and can help keep your garage a little warmer. On the other hand, light coloured garage doors will reflect sunlight, so the garage can feel a bit cooler.
Consider how your garage door colour can affect curb appeal
Adding to the curb appeal of your home can help increase its overall value. A good choice if you’re planning on selling your home, is to consider a modern, trendy colour. Otherwise, if you’re planning on remaining in the home for quite some time, a neutral coloured door could be a better choice.
Select a garage door colour that complements other colours of your home
A big part of choosing the right colour for your new garage door requires comparing how the colour of the door will complement the other exterior colours of your home, like your roof colour and siding colour. You’ll likely want them all to be within a similar colour tone, so there’s a cohesive look.
Decide if you want a solid or two-tone coloured garage door
Some people like using a single solid colour door for their home, while others like a two-tone coloured door. For instance, you could get a new garage door in grey that has white trim on the outside.
