Make Your Money Work with Thoughtful Garage Door Selection

The Australian house is always very unique in its form, character and personality. With so much variety in the residential landscape today it’s only right that garage door styles also fit in with that variety. That’s why B&D has developed such a wide range of door styles and forms, designed to fit the majority of house sizes and aesthetics.

All this choice can sometimes be daunting, and will affect the price of your new garage door. Garage door prices are determined by a whole range of factors ranging from style and finish to the door’s technology. There are 3 key questions you should ask yourself when researching garage door prices.

1. What will work within the structure of my garage?

Different garage door technologies are suited to different garages. How much head room do you have? What are the structures around the door? If for example your garage has quite a low ceiling a tilt door or flex-a-door is a good option to consider. Whereas if you have more space to spare than a more traditional panelift door will provide you with economy and a huge range of aesthetic options. For those with a tighter budget, a rolling door is the most economical and functional option.

2. What look am I trying to achieve?

It’s important not to dismiss the look of your door, especially if your garage can support any door type and you’ve got a range of aesthetic options available to you. Sectional doors will provide you with a huge range of options and will fit within most homeowner’s budgets. From the regal look of the Statesman to the sleek modern lines of the Turino, you’re spoilt for choice within the B&D sectional door range.

If you’re looking for a more unique style, there are a range of specialty doors for you. If your home is timber, a timber door is a good way to carry over that natural style. The B&D Cedarpanel is a stunning option for those with timber homes, as is a well selected tilt door.

3. What features do you need?

There are a range of garage door add-ons available on the market today that will extend your door’s functionality and features. Garage door remotes are a popular addition due to their security and safety benefits. Adding a garage door remote control to your garage will add a whole new level of convenience to your day-to-day garage use.

There are also a range of other extra door accessories which may be valuable depending on your individual situation. These accessories can affect the garage door prices, so you should establish what features you need and can fit within your budget.

If you’re in a high fire risk zone, dusty region or at a coastal area additions like the EMB-A-SEAL are invaluable. B&D also offers the PARK-A-LERT to help guide your car into your garage, and extra door safety features. You can find out more about door accessories on our website.
