There are many things to consider when choosing a new garage door for your home or business, from color and style to material types, but one of the most important is size.
If you’re building a new home or commercial building, you’re limited only by the products available in your area, but if you’re replacing an existing garage door, you’ll be constrained by the size of the current rough opening.
Garage Doors for Your Indianapolis Home
How large of a garage door do you need? It’s best to consult your garage door installer, but here are a few factors that can impact the size of your garage door:
- The rough opening: This is the framing that supports the garage door, and if it’s already built, you’ll be limited to those dimensions unless you do some costly remodeling.
- The size of your garage: The door should scale well to the size of your garage, with smaller doors for smaller buildings.
- Location: In an attached garage, there may be more limits to garage door size than in a stand-alone garage.
- The number and type of vehicles: If you have a tall SUV, a larger garage door will be required, while two or more vehicles may require a wide grade door or multiple doors.
