Types of Garage Doors for Install
Once you choose a style for your garage door installation, you’ll need to decide on the type of door you’re interested in. Garage doors come in two different types: insulated or non-insulated.
In Canada, most homeowners tend to opt for insulated doors to protect their valuables, soundproof their space and save on energy costs but insulated garages are not all made equally.
At Canadoor Door Systems, we offer two garage door installation values. Choose from polystyrene or polyurethane in 1.38 to 2-inch sizes. Polystyrene is more commonly known as styrofoam. It has some insulation and soundproofing power, but polyurethane is more effective overall.
Polyurethane is a denser product, which means it has a higher thermal resistance and holds up better in extreme weather, due to its rigidity. We typically recommend it over polystyrene, but especially if you have a noisy street or a living space above the garage since it acts as a buffer zone.
If you are a residential home builder with a style in mind, simply send us the plans for your new home and we will order your product and install it.
Measuring For Your Residential Garage Door Installation
For a no-obligation quote, please provide measurements for your residential garage door. Using the steps below, we can determine the size of the door you will need.
Step 1
Measure the Width (1) and Height (2) of your door opening in feet and inches.
The rough opening should be the same size as the door.
Step 2
Measure the area labelled Left Side (3) and Right Side (4). For the installation of a standard torsion spring system, a minimum of 3-3/4” is required on each side of the vertical track.
Step 3
Measure the area labelled Headroom (5).
This is the distance between the top of the door opening and the ceiling. 12" is necessary for a standard torsion spring system.
If the headroom is restricted, specialized hardware is available. We require additional headroom for the installation of an automatic garage door opener.
Please Note: If the garage door height extends above the opening, the headroom measurement should be adjusted proportionately.
Step 4
Measure the area labelled Backroom (6).This is the distance from the garage door opening to the back wall of the garage. Door height must be 18" or more.
Please Note: Additional backroom may be necessary for the installation of an automatic garage door opener.
