The Benefits of a Beautiful and Durable Garage Door

In early January and times of below zero temperatures, there are many reasons why durable garage doors are beneficial. Some of those include protection for your automobiles from the elements and also as a storage area for lawn implements, bicycles and a variety or the miscellaneous items that never seem to have a proper storage place. Over the years, garage door options have grown to include versions that are not only durable but add an element of curb appeal as well.

Continental Siding offers a number of garage door options to suit any budget and style. All you need to do is pick the panel design, color, and material and window options. Continental Siding offers three garage door options: Delcraft Plus, Prestige Plus and Continental Siding Vinyl.

Delcraft Plus

Available in short-panel, long-panel and flush options, the Delcraft Plus garage doors offer enhanced safety features. Each of the panel options is finished in a baked-on polyester coat in your choice of brown, almond, sand or white. The embossed wood exterior texture can also be painted the same color of the rest of the structure after installation.

Choosing a Garage Door Panel Design

Flush Panel – A flush panel can be a great option to ensure that the garage door blends in with the surrounding wall. These are typically slightly textured to add a small amount of detail.

Long-raised Panels – A long horizontal expanse adds depth to the length of the door. Use a long-raised panel to enhance the overall appearance of a home’s exterior.

Short-raised Panels – This panel size is typically used to add detail to a particular style of home such as a Victorian, Tudor or Colonial-style home.

Painted Panels – A way to add enhanced visual interest to raised panels. The sloped area of the panel is painted in a contrasting color.
