If you own a garage then you should be aware of how important a garage door is. There are lots of reasons why you should upgrade it to a new version but here are our three biggest ones:


Security

Has there been a spate of break-ins in your area recently? Have you just bought a new carbon fibre road bike that you now keep in your garage? Even the charming town of Mildenhall is not immune from crime so maybe it is time to upgrade your garage door. If you have an old garage door it is possible that your locks are not in great condition and that they are old technology. Today, new ones are mostly fitted with features such as keypads, rotating codes and remotes; security devices that can keep all the belongings in your garage safe from harm while offering you peace of mind. A new garage door will also be able to protect a garage’s contents from outside moisture and other bad weather.


Energy Costs

If your eyes pop out of your head every time that you read your monthly electricity or gas bill, you should consider the role that your garage door plays in your energy costs. To reduce your energy costs the first thing that you might consider looking at is the efficiency of your boiler, your energy company’s prices or double glazing. However, you might be surprised to find that a badly insulated garage door can actually have a ruinous effect in letting heat (that you’ve paid for!) escape your home.


Aesthetics

Living in a home that looks beautiful and appealing is a major factor when buying a property. The garage door is often one of the first things that someone sees when they approach your abode for the first time and it can dictate the whole building’s aesthetic appearance, sense of style and general upkeep. A garage door that doesn't match the brickwork or colour of the roofing tiles can stand out like a sore thumb. Similarly, a metal door that has peeling paint or is dented and doesn’t quite fit the surrounding brick can make your whole home look dilapidated.
