?Garage doors are products with which the prices, designs, sizes, types etc. may or may not be specific to each retailer. For this reason, it might be a bit tricky to know exactly how much a retailer or installer will charge for a certain garage door. However, there are a few factors that can help to estimate the prices of garage doors.
First of all, the material that the garage door is made of will probably be the greatest factor in determining the price of the garage door. A weaker material such as fiberglass will be less expensive than an aluminum garage door, while a garage door made of steel will cost more than an aluminum garage door and a wooden garage door will generally have the highest cost.
Whether or not the garage door is insulated also plays a role in the price that one has to pay for the door. An insulated garage door is one that has two layers to it. The insulated garage door will obviously cost more than a garage door that is not insulated. Nevertheless, one must always remember that cold or hot air remaining inside of the garage may be the cause of rotting/rusting of the garage door and temperance with the engines of the vehicles inside the garage so insulation may just be a good idea even though it is a bit costly.
A garage door with fancy decorations will have a higher price than one that is plain. The simple reason to this is that a garage door that is decorated took more effort to create than a simple wooden (or whatever the material) garage door. Also, if the door comes treated (for example, a wooden door that comes with the sealant already applied to it) will have a bit of a higher cost than the door that the owner needs to prepare from the get-go. Think VAT.
And lastly, size counts! A garage door for a single-car garage is smaller in area and will therefore cost less than a garage door which is made to fit a double-car garage or even triple-car garage. This makes perfect sense as a bigger garage door used more materials to make and hence has the greater price.
