What are the two types of garage doors?

There are many types of garage doors to choose from - the six most common are sectional, roll-up, slide to the side, side hinged, tilt-up canopy, and tilt-up retractable. You also must decide on the door material, finish, color, and special options like windows, insulation, and hardware you want to use.

What is a panel garage door?

These doors generally have four or five horizontal panels joined together with hinges. This means that when the door opens and closes, it can bend and follow a curved path that is primarily vertical. A single panel door (also known as swing doors or up-and-over doors) used to be the popular style.

What is the difference between short and long panel garage doors?

Short panels add a more traditional architectural interest to your garage door and are 4 across a single car door. Long panels provide a clean, crisp more contemporary look and are 2 larger panels across a single car door. Either style of panel can be used, its simply a matter of preference.
