What
do you see when you first examine a garage?
The
garage door. This is the first and most important “contact” of your garage to
the world. If you want full confidence in your garage, this “contact” should be
100% secure and safe. Also the door says a lot of you and of your taste in
design. You can have a beautiful house but if your garage door is a wooden,
plain, white one with that makes an awful sound when opened or closed, says a
lot of you and your negligence regarding style and safety.
An
ageing garage door and opener could be a real threat for your children or pets.
Injuries and death are a thing of the past with the new openers and garage
doors. If you plan to remodel your garage, one of the first steps in doing this
must be changing your doors and openers.
Old
garage doors have been heavy, huge, wooden colossus that rot and crack. Even
though wooden doors provide a wide range of styles and textures the problems
related to poor insulation are real and even of present times. An alternative
is the fiberglass material, inexpensive, easy to lift, resistant to corrosion
and the require little maintenance but they also provide little insulation and
security.
If
you want a maintenance-free, durable and not-wrapping garage door you need
steel. They also provide good insulation, being made of two or more sheets of
steel alternating with a variety of insulating materials. They also come in
various textures, styles, shapes and colors that are suited to your needs.
Moreover, you can add windows including the reflective type that provide an
obscure view into the garage.
In
1991, automatic reversal doors for garage door openers have been required by
law in the United States and in since 1993 optical sensors became a
requirement. The sensor works perfect for your safety: if something gets in the
way of the sensor beam while the door is going down, the sensor sends the door
back up.
Also
the new design provides more security and quieter operation. Today, the silence
options include a belt-driven trolley made of Kevlar or, the cheaper option, a
screw-drive model with a plastic-lined track to lessen the noisy contact of
metal-to-metal.
Remote
controls have been upgraded so you can find a remote control having enough
buttons to control the lightening or appliances in your home and garage. Another
option for your remote-control buttons are the child-safe lock-out and the
rolling security codes which automatically change every time the garage door
opens to prevent the stealing of your opener’s code.
