Are you thinking about installing a new garage door type in your home? If you have a larger garage, you may want to think about installing a two car garage door rather than two separate ones. If you do not have a door on your garage at the moment, here are some great reasons you may want to install one of this size in your home.
A two car garage is usually between sixteen and twenty feet long. This allows for enough space to have two cars inside plus extra room to be able to walk around each car or even store some objects on the side. These doors are also approximately seven to eight feet high. This gives you plenty of room to park almost any type of vehicle inside. Any car, jeep, or truck will be able to fit easily into the garage without having to worry about the door not being high enough.
Have you ever considered how much energy is used having two separate residential garage doors? With a single garage door you will only have one motor. With separate garage doors you will have two motors to power. The amount of power may not be a huge amount, but it will still be enough to save you some money on your energy bills. Seeing the way the economy is going today, any break on bills is worth it. You will need to remember though that if the single motor does happen to break, which is rare, you will have to manually open the door to allow both cars to exit the garage.
You will also have more space to move with a single, larger sized door rather than two separate doors. With one large door, your cars have more flexibility when moving in and out of the garage. With two single doors you are left very little room to move your car around. This is especially true if you have house foundation or storage units dividing the two car stalls. You will not longer have to worry about your side mirrors getting knocked off by the garage door frame. Your car will not have the extra room it needs. Even if you only own one car at the moment, you will be able to park it directly in the middle of the garage rather than on a specific side.
As you can see, there are many benefits to having a two car Mesa garage door installed rather than having two separate doors. You will have plenty of room, save money on bills, and will no longer have to worry about side mirrors being knocked off by the garage frame.
