If you’re not sure, or you just want to explore this a little more so you can figure it out, then just keep reading because we’re going to help you make sure your door does reflect what you want it to.
You have options
First of all, you have plenty of options here. If you find that you need something different to convey the message that you want to your potential customers, there’s no shortage of choices. People have been making statements with residential garage doors for quite some time. It hasn’t been until more recently that different garage door design options became more popular for commercial garage doors.
Now, all of those attractive embossed designs that you’ve seen on residential doors are being produced for commercial metal garage doors also. Garaga has created more attractive options for your business’s garage doors so you can be proud of the front of your shop.
Let’s look at some examples:
- The Grooved model: (most popular) It has 1" (25 mm) - high horizontal lines traversing the sections
- Models with 2 thin lines or multiple lines
- Models with embossed rectangular patterns, Classic, Prestige, mixed and elongated
- The Shaker models, Classic or elongated
- The Carriage House models, short or long
- The Flush model, without any design or lines on the sections
Our interactive online Design Centre allows you to try out different looks for your commercial garage doors. You can design an entire door on the website, then upload a photo of your storefront, and lay your design over the actual door in the photo.
Through the use of vinyl decals, you can use your garage door as a piece of marketing. You can put your company logo there, a company mascot in some cases, or something else related to your business that will help people recognize your brand by sight. Some city regulations work a lot like HOAs though, so make sure you check that you’re staying within any standards that have been set.
There are window options too
Lots of garage doors have windows. Whether you just like the way they look, or you like the amount of light they let in, windows are something you should spend a little time considering too. If you’ve ever spent much time in a service shop, you know that mechanics tend to like having big windows in the garage door that let in lots of light. It makes it much easier for them to see. Customers also tend to like the big windows because they can see what’s happening with their vehicles. If you want to go fully transparent, you can even choose an all‑glass garage door. It’s up to what you think best fits in with your company mission.
We have a large selection of glass for making your windows or all‑glass garage doors look exactly the way you want them to. Come talk to one of our staff members to hear about the more than 25 possible choices!
If you don’t like the idea of an all‑glass garage door, but you do like the idea of a lot of light, we can find an option that will work for you. We can customize your windows so that you feel secure in knowing all of your equipment can’t be seen through the garage door, but there is still a lot of natural light coming into the shop when the door is closed. Windows can be chosen in different sizes and also placed at different heights on the door. We’ll find the perfect combination for your needs.
