• Most garage doors in North America are sectional and retract along the ceiling of the garage. These doors consist of individual sections (usually 4) with varying heights (typically between 18 and 24 inches). Residential doors come in heights ranging from 6 to 8 feet.
• Widths vary too, from 4 feet for smaller sheds up to 18 feet for double garages. The thickness of garage doors typically falls between 1 3⁄8 to 2 inches.
• Garage doors can be insulated or non-insulated. Insulated doors use materials like plastic, polystyrene, or polyurethane, with R-values varying from R‑6 to R‑18.
• Common exterior materials include galvanized steel, wood, fiberglass, and PVC. For a modern touch, there are even glass doors with extruded aluminum frames.

The Hardware System:

Behind the scenes, it’s all about the small parts working together seamlessly.
