Your garage door is an essential part of your home. It’s likely the biggest entryway into your house and plays a huge role in its overall curb appeal. Your garage door is also very heavy, which can be dangerous if it needs repairs. Unfortunately, there are many things that can damage garage door panels, impacting your garage door’s overall performance and appearance.
Garages can get brutally hot during the summer, making many people desperate to find effective ways to keep your garage cool. Especially if you are someone who likes to use your garage for more than parking your car in, but also as a home gym or a workspace, a hot garage can make spending time in it nigh unbearable. Plus, a hot garage can end up causing issues, such as poor air quality, especially if you use your garage as a storage space.
As summer creeps up on us, temperatures spike, and more and more homeowners are tempted to leave their garage doors either all the way open or cracked open in order to get cool air into their garages. However, you should never leave your garage door open in the summer, unless you’re actually in the garage while the door’s open. Many people don’t realize just how risky it is when you leave your garage door open or all the problems that can occur as a result of this habit.
Your garage door is either the largest or one of the largest openings in your home. As such, it’s important for the safety and security of your house that you can trust it to close properly. If your garage door closes and then reopens, this is both frustrating and a major security risk. Here’s what you need to know about why your garage door closes and then reopens.
You know how when something gets in the way of your garage door as it’s closing and then it goes back up again? This is due to your garage door safety sensors. The last thing you want is for your heavy garage door to come down on a loved one or a pet or something else, like your car. Garage door safety sensors are there to help ensure that that doesn’t happen. Sometimes, these sensors can malfunction, resulting in problems such as your garage door starting to close and then going back up again.
One of the most frequent questions garage door experts get is whether or not you can replace garage door panels. Strong as garage doors are, they’re not invincible, and they can get damaged for a wide variety of reasons. Garage door panels can be damaged if in a heavy storm, if a car has accidentally backed into your garage door before it was all the way up, if a child threw a baseball ball at it, or for an abundance of other reasons.
The weather is finally warming up, the air is fresh and sweet, and the brown world is transforming into a wonder of greenery and blossoming flowers. We’re all getting ready for spring cleaning, but don’t forget to prepare your garage for spring too! Your garage is one of the most used areas of your home, given that it is both a main entryway and a place to park and store both your cars and whatever else you throw in there.
Choosing the right commercial garage door for your business can be difficult, given how many different types there are and all the different needs different types of commercial garage doors can meet. Commercial garage doors have different requirements than residential garage doors. They can be open and closed over 50 times in one day, a workload that a residential garage door wouldn’t be able to withstand. They also need to be much bigger, more durable, and more secure. Depending on the type of door you choose, some will be more one thing than the other.
With how important your garage door springs are, the last thing you want is to run into garage door spring issues. Unfortunately, everything has problems eventually, and some garage door spring issues are ones you’ll more likely than not run into during your lifetime.
