Before
After
We pulled the trigger and decided to have our garage doors replaced! It was time, as they were the original ones installed when the house was built. They were solid, heavy wooden door but the New England weather had taken it's toll on them. Many of individual panels were bowing and starting to separate; you could see daylight between some, so it was time.
We went with pretty much the same style but changed it some and had the windows moved to the top. The new doors are aluminum, so they much lighter, and have much higher rating on their insulation value as compared to the old wooden ones. It's something like an R-value of 8 with the new versus a 1+ with the wooden.
Hopefully this will keep the garage better insulated, which we're hoping has a positive effect on the family room above where we spend most of our time.
Now, onto the next home improvement project. Just need to win Megabucks, alas...
