Garage doors are usually constructed of three to eight panels and
slide up and overhead. Some advantages of sectional doors include Sectional doors do not require any space outside the garage to
open. and each panel of a sectional door has its own connection to the door track.
Garage doors can be made out of many materials, but steel, aluminum, wood, copper, glass, and vinyl are the most popular materials. Some manufacturers incorporate foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation within the sectional garage doors.
When selecting a door one of the first things that comes to mind is the style of the garage door. Below are a selection of photos ranging from a classic garage door to a country style and a more modern look.
Finding the perfect garage door for your home and lifestyle does not have to be time-consuming. Understanding R- Value is an important part of making your decision.
R value measures the thermal efficacy of your garage door, representing the ability to block cold or hot air from entering your home. The higher the R- value the greater the insulating power.
In general, an insulated garage door is the best long-term investment. Though insulated garage doors are more expensive than non-insulated, the energy savings and year-round usability of the garage allow the insulated door to pay for itself. Insulated garage doors are stable all year round and are more durable and have a sturdier appearance.
The R-value is a measure of how well a two-dimensional barrier, such as a layer of insulation, a window or a complete wall or ceiling, resists the conductive[5] flow of heat.
DO YOU NEED AN INSULATED GARAGE DOOR? ANSWER THESE 5 QUESTIONS:
1.Do you have an attached garage?
2.Do you live in an area where temperatures either a) vary drastically throughout the year, or b) are extremely hot or cold year-round?
3.Do you use your garage as a workspace for hobbies?
4.Do you keep any animals or pets in your garage?
If you answered NO to three or more of the above questions, you may not need to spend the extra money on an insulated garage door.
If you have a detached garage, you are probably not too concerned about the temperature inside your garage. Likewise, outside temperatures and noise will not be able to creep into your home from your garage.
You could also bypass the expense of an insulated garage door if you live in an area with a mild year-round climate, as outside elements will not have a significant impact on temperatures indoor.
Another factor to consider is how often you operate your garage door throughout the day, and if you tend to leave it open for extended periods of time. Each time the garage door opens, your home’s thermal envelope is broken – insulation will not serve much value to you if your garage door is constantly being operated or is kept open for long time spans.
Regardless of your decision, Dover will be sure to find you that perfect door at the perfect price.

Prior to needing an emergency call here are a few hints on what to do when these symptoms seem to be coming from your garage door.
If the Garage Door won’t open or close then your first focus could be on if the garage door has an opener attached to it. If your garage door has an opener then they will have Photo Eyes which are sensors. These sensors can get dirty or have something placed in front of them causing the door to stop prior to opening.
If you garage door is getting jammed, stuck or pulling up uneven then you can be sure that the problem could the cause of worn cables, twisted tracks and old pulleys. When something like this happens you could tinker around with the parts but your doing it yourself without proper training could cause more damage to yourself or the door. We always recommend to have a professional handle these issues.
A third issue for concern for a garage door is how noisy it is when your using it. If you hearing load noises If you are hearing a popping noise it can be the results of a worn down rollers which as they chip and wear they will no longer be rolling correctly. Another issue diagnosed with loud sounds coming from a garage door could be a spring wearing down to a point of breaking. All these issues seem like they could be simple fixes but we highly recommend having a professional inspect the issue.
Other issues that can rise in a garage door that we recommend using our professional service for are Opener problems, Malfunctioning keypads & sensor.
