The most common question I receive from customers is “What type of overhead garage door should I buy?”. The answer is always the same, Steel of course! Iron Alloy has come a long way since its primary use in swords, cutlery, and tools in the early 1800s. 

When it comes to garage doors, galvanized steel is the preferred material of choice, especially in the North East due to our harsh weather. The next time you’re driving through Boston or my hometown, Quincy, count the number of steel garage doors you see compared to wood. Out of every 10 customers who purchase a garage door from me, nine are steel! 

1. Durability: Steel is a strong and durable material that can withstand the wear and tear of daily use. It is also resistant to dents and scratches, making it a low-maintenance option.

2. Affordability: Steel garage doors are relatively affordable when compared to other materials such as wood or aluminum.

3. Security: Steel is a very secure material, making it a good choice for homeowners who are concerned about the safety and security of their garages and home.

4. Insulation: Steel garage doors can be insulated to help keep the garage and home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, which can help reduce energy costs.

5. Design Options: Steel garage doors come in a variety of designs and styles, including different colors and finishes, making it easy to find one that complements the look of your home.

So there you have it, you now know more about steel garage doors than the average! If you have additional questions feel free to give Bolton Family Overhead Doors a call and I’ll personally answer any of your questions.
