Wood vs. Glass

The truth is that most garages have aluminum overhead doors, but lately the modern aesthetics gain territory and an increased number of consumers want to give up metal in favor of the natural beauty of the wood or the extraordinary beauty of glass. These are more expensive materials and there are particularities when it comes to their service, but they can also transform your home, change your mood and increase the value of your property.

• Contemporary wood doors undergo special processing and their insulation efficiency has been improved.
• It comes out in many colors and designs.
• It creates a cosy and nice atmosphere in your garage and adds to the house's prestige.
