Why Choose a Steel Garage Door?

At Ottawa Garage Doors & Openers, we can provide many fantastic reasons to choose a steel garage door.

Very Durable

Steel garage doors are the most durable and engineered to withstand time.
Whether you use your door daily, sports equipment bounces off the panels, or your car occasionally bumps into it, steel can handle it.

The thick gauge steel increases the door’s resistance to denting, while the protective coating guards it against corrosion and scratches. So, if longevity is a priority, steel will not disappoint you.

Weather-Resistant

Okay, you must agree that the Ottawa climate is no joke.
You get from heavy snowfalls, ice storms, and not to forget the humidity in summer.

Steel garage doors are built to resist cracking, warping, and expanding in response to the changing weather.

Proper insulation and sealing help protect your garage door from wind, temperature, and moisture, keeping your space secure year-round.

Low Maintenance

One key benefit of installing a steel garage door is that it does not need much upkeep.
Unlike wood, it doesn’t require regular sealing or staining.
You only need to rinse it down with a hose and mild soap to remove the dirt. Then, check the hardware and apply lubricant twice a year.

Safe and Secure

Steel can address any home security concerns. Its solid edifice and resistance to forced entry make steel a more substantial barrier.
Our models include reinforced locking systems and tamper-resistant features for added safety.

Customizable Finishes

Do you think that steel means boring gray panels? Think again.
Today’s steel garage doors are in various colors, textures, and faux wood finishes.
You can customize the style further by adding windows, decorative handles, and trim.

Cost-Effecitve

Compared to wood or glass, steel is a wise investment.
The upfront cost is lower, and with minimal maintenance, you’ll save on upkeep over the years. Furthermore, if you choose insulation, you can reduce energy costs and improve your garage’s thermal efficiency.

What Style Will Suit Your Home?

When you contact us as Ottawa Garage Doors for a steel model, you have various style choices.

Flush Panels

Add a modern look to your home with a flush-panel steel garage door.
With its flat, clean, and smooth finish, it has some contemporary appeal to align with your modern home. Pair it with bold colors like charcoal or matte black for an upscale finish.

Carriage House Style

Add rustic charm to your garage and home with a carriage house-style garage door. It combines old charm with modern performance.
Hinged overlays, arched windows, and wrought iron-style hardware give the illusion of swinging barn doors while the door still opens overhead.
You get the charm of wood without the maintenance

Contemporary Designs

You can even add a bit extra to suit your personality. Get a contemporary design with horizontal or vertical windows, asymmetrical panels, or metal trim.
The style is ideal if your garage faces the street and you want to make a bold impression.
You can play around with tinted or frosted glass for elegance and privacy.

Raised Panels

Or, give your garage door a timeless appeal with raised panels. With defined rectangular sections that add texture and depth, they suit a wide selection of homes, from classic to traditional layouts.
Depending on your garage, you can choose between short and long panels.

Insulation & R-Value Steel Garage Doors

With the Ottawa climate that gets very cold, you need proper insulation. You can choose from a wide selection of insulation options, ranging from single-layer (non-insulated) to triple-layer with polystyrene or polyurethane cores.

The R-value can range from R-6 to R-18+.
Insulation will help keep your garage and adjacent rooms warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
It reduces the outside noise and improves energy efficiency.

If you want to turn your garage into a storage area or workspace, contact us today to learn about our insulated steel garage door models.

Minimal Maintenance

One of the biggest reasons we recommend investing in steel is that you will not spend your weekend on upkeep. But there is more:

You only need to wipe it down with mild soap and water
Check the hinges and rollers twice a year to lubricate
Touch up the minor scratches to prevent rust
Lastly, steel doors with a powder-coated finish are more weatherproof

With routine maintenance, whether done by yourself or our team, your steel garage door can last 20-30 years or more.

What Does a Steel Garage Door Cost in Ottawa?

If you want performance without the high price tag of custom wood and glass, a steel garage door offers great value. Depending on the size, insulation, and design, the average cost can range between $1,200 and $3,000+.

Our basic models offer budget-friendly solutions. At the same time, the premium styles with windows and high R-value are more expensive. The best part is that you can heat with our insulated models, as it pays off for itself over time.
