What is a colonial-style garage door? This question does not have a single answer as ‘colonial’ can mean different things to different designers. In terms of garage doors, colonial can mean anything from a very common raised panel steel design to a barn-style door or a carriage house design. Let’s take a look at some of the available choices.
Colonial-Style Home with a Traditional-Style Garage Door
- Traditional Garage Doors with Raised Panels Made of Steel, Vinyl, Composite or Wood
Traditional garage doors with raised panels are the first and most common choice, these doors come prefinished in a variety of standard colors to complement your home. The most common selections include square raised panels, ‘V’ grooved raised panels, and recessed panel designs. These doors are offered in single-layer un-insulated, two-layer vinyl-backed insulated, and three-layer steel-foam-steel laminated insulated models. Additionally, you can select from a broad range of window options. You may be pleasantly surprised by the number of budget-friendly choices in this product category.
- Carriage House Garage Doors (Barn Doors): Made of Steel, Vinyl, Composite or Wood
1. Steel carriage-style garage doors have many features as traditional garage doors in terms of insulation options, color choices, and design choices. Additionally, these products feature larger height sections and larger window panels to closely resemble the look of a colonial-era barn or carriage house doors. These products are available with many different face designs including vertical panel, half buck, cross buck, ‘V’ groove, recessed panel and raised panel. Two-tone color selection and several wood grain color choices make this product category a very popular choice when a traditional door does not offer an appropriate design.
