You probably won’t need to replace your home’s garage door very often, but when the time comes, you’ll want to pay close attention to the style. The garage door can make or break your home’s appearance. It will either make your property more attractive and boost its curb appeal or cause people to pass by with barely a glance. Understanding the importance of style, many homeowners are making carriage house doors their choice when making a garage door upgrade.
What Is a Carriage House Style Garage Door?
Carriage house doors are among the more unique garage door styles, exhibiting a rustic “old-world” charm that many homeowners find so appealing. Although they’re designed and built to resemble a pair of old-fashioned “swing out” doors, they offer the convenience of sliding up and over your head like most modern garage doors. Carriage house doors have a way of transforming an ordinary home into a stylish showcase that becomes a highlight of the neighborhood.
