The size of your garage door will depend on the dimensions of your garage and the type of vehicles you plan to park inside. Standard single garage doors typically measure 8 to 9 feet wide and 7 feet tall, while double doors range from 12 to 18 feet wide and 7 feet tall. Custom sizes are available for larger or specialized garages, including doors up to 20 feet wide for oversized vehicles like RVs or trucks.

To enhance your garage door’s energy efficiency, consider installing an insulated door. Insulated garage doors maintain a stable temperature inside the garage, reducing energy loss. Sealing gaps around the door’s edges with weatherstripping can also improve insulation. Adding thermal reflective insulation to the door’s interior helps regulate temperature and can reduce heating and cooling costs. Ensure that the door is properly sealed and maintained to prevent drafts.

If your garage door has come off track, avoid attempting to fix it yourself, as it can be dangerous. The door’s tracks need to be realigned properly to prevent further damage to the rollers, motor, and springs. A professional technician can safely inspect the tracks, identify the cause of the misalignment, and repair the door without causing harm or additional damage to the system.
