Benefits of Steel
As one of the most popular garage door materials, steel provides homeowners with an excellent return on investment. Known for their incredible longevity, this metal can withstand extreme weather conditions. Steel garage doors are also resistant to warping, mildew, and insect infestations.
Steel doors require minimal maintenance, making them a top choice for homeowners. Keep your steel garage door clean by spraying it with a hose once a year and repainting the panels’ surface if the color starts to fade or you want a new look.
Steel vs. Aluminum
Here’s a comparison of aluminum and steel garage doors to help you learn more about both material options:
Appearance: Both steel and aluminum are popular choices for garage doors and can be customized with a variety of panels, finishes, and woodgrain designs to complement your home.
Composition: Aluminum garage doors are lightweight, easy to install, and resistant to corrosion, though they may be less effective at insulating against outdoor temperatures. Steel doors are heavier, more durable, and provide better protection against the elements. Both materials are recyclable and environmentally friendly.
Longevity: Both steel and aluminum doors are low maintenance. Aluminum is easy to clean and doesn’t rust or rot. Steel doors, while requiring a pre-painted treatment to resist rust, tend to be more resilient and withstand greater wear over time.
Cost: Steel garage doors offer a durable, long-term investment at a reasonable price, while aluminum is often even more affordable. Prices for both materials can fluctuate with supply and demand, but both are generally cost-effective options.
