How to Add Oomph! to Plain Garage Doors

By December 23, 2014September 6th, 2019No Comments

Your Cleveland garage doors have a bigger impact on your home than you may realize. They provide a safe and convenient entry point into your home and ensure that your garage has sufficient sound and thermal insulation all year round. But even the most practical homeowner will admit that they’re not just there for function. Because garage doors take up such a huge fraction of many homes’ facade, they also have a significant impact on curb appeal.

Below are examples of inexpensive and easy-to-install garage door accessories that can enhance the look of your garage doors in a matter of minutes:

  • Simulated windows. Usually made of opaque Plexiglas or other reflective and weather-resistant plastic resins, simulated windows add interest to plain garage doors without interfering with their operation. These faux windows are ideal for homeowners who like the look of garage door windows but do not want to compromise security.
  • Decorative hardware. Decorative hardware lets you enjoy the look of an expensive custom garage door for a fraction of the price. Most of these hardware kits include dummy strap hinges, door lift handles, and faux door pulls.

Other Goodies

If you’re thinking of giving your garage doors a facelift, why not go the extra mile and throw in the following functional add-ons as well? These garage door accessories are an excellent but inexpensive way to boost your garage doors’ functionality and security:

  • Air screen –lets fresh air into your garage while keeping insects, pests, and debris out
  • Sensor guard – keeps your garage door sensors from coming out of alignment and guards against sensor wear and tear
  • Keyless entry – lets you open your garage doors using a code instead of easily-misplaced remote controls

Other garage door accessories that may be worth a look include garage door monitors, internet gateways, multi-button remote controls, and integrated battery back-up systems.
