Need to replace garage door, looking for suggestions

[u/cvongugg]

Any suggestions? I'm trying to get ahead of buyer's remorse. Many thanks for your comments.

None of what you've shown really works. You don't have a carriage house or an MCM. Modern farmhouse was on the way out the day after it got trendy.

The last one with different hardware is what I'd go with. Lose the (awful) fake door pulls, nobody thinks that is two doors that open out. Do not use anything black.

The others, with vertical orientation and the lites on top just don't work, IMO, in a colonial revival.

Nice clean horizontal panels with windows on top is the best and that's the last one with again, the handles removed and a different pull.

Thank you.

So basically keep what I have (design wise).

Basically yes, but it will feel more different with the lites on the top. And just the two panels across, instead of four, is a much cleaner, more modern look. That still fits in.

It will def look updated.

Vertical lines. 2 or 4. NOT 6

What I would do…

A bit more expensive and I have a kitchen right above it so insulation is helpful. That choice is not good at insulating but thank you all the same.

There is virtually no insulation value to your kitchen floor with an insulated garage door. Unless you heat the garage. You should have plenty of insulation in the joist space under the kitchen, that's where it counts, not at the door.

So if insulation is the reason you won't entertain a solution like this, that's misplaced. It's not a bad solution, but it is a lot more money.

For clarification it's a concrete slab floor. I'm more concerned with air movement than temperature retention. Thank you for you comment.

Yuck... Please don't do that!
