A New Twist on a Classic

Steel Garage Doors

Many home renovations focus on the interior of the home rather than the exterior. When homeowners decide to give the outside of their home a face-lift, they tend to think of landscaping and house paint. Garage Doors can make a huge difference to the look of your home.

Steel doors for your garage are a great way to add style to the outside of your home. A copper door paired with the natural wood or stone on the outside of your home is simply stunning (Shown Above). Or a silver steel door with a painted backdrop is also beautiful to behold.

For your steel door installation, look to Overhead Door Northland.

Choosing a Garage Door For Your Home

Great Garage Door Options

When searching for the right garage door for your house, it’s common to get overwhelmed. There are a lot of styles and materials in which you can choose from. To help out with this decision, we’ve compiled a few explanations and options that can work with a myriad of homes.

  1. Steel Doors: When selecting the right door for your garage, steel is an excellent option. Invented by Overhead Door in 1923, steel garage doors are the most popular choice for residential garage doors. Mainly because they are available in a number of styles and require very minimal maintenance.
  2. Fiberglass Garage Doors: Our fiberglass doors have a molded fiberglass surface over the insulated steel door. The result is a garage door that performs similar to a steel door but has the appearance of wood. You get low maintenance and high thermal efficiency. Perfect for these winter months!

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or need a garage door repair!

Protecting Your Home from a Tornado

Tornado Damage

Tornados can be a nasty surprise. Don’t be caught unprepared; there are measures you can take to protect your home from suffering extensive damage. Here are a few tips to keeping your home in one piece when a storm occurs.

Being Prepared

  1. Doors – Garage doors are especially prone to being torn off during a storm. Install doors that can withstand strong winds.
  2. Roof – Winds blow over a home and exerts pressure against the roof of your home. Install hurricane clips that will aid in keeping your roof secured to your home during a storm.
  3. Concrete – If you’re in the position to build your home or are adding additions, build with concrete. It’s much more durable than typical building materials and can withstand more pressure.

Installing doors can give you more time to escape a fire

Fire Doors

Fire doors are doors that are made to close automatically during a fire. They seal shut in order to cut off the oxygen that will feed the fire. They can also give you more time to escape in case a fire breaks out.

Where to Install

The most common places to find fire doors are:

  • Buildings with kitchens and garbage chutes
  • Dumbwaiter doors
  • Rooms that hold flammable chemicals

If your building or store fits these criteria, you will want to make sure you have fire doors installed. Kitchens and schools are places that would benefit greatly by having fire doors. The beauty of the doors is that they can even be installed in your home for extra security.
