A Buyer’s Guide to Modern Steel Garage Doors

September 27, 2023

It’s common to update the inside of a home through remodeling. A kitchen can easily go from mid-century modern to 21st-century modern, and bathrooms can be updated to the latest design trends and newest fixtures. But what about the outside appearance of your home? Sure, you can paint it a different color, but the original structural design of the home is not easily or typically ever changed. But at Joe Wilde Company, we know a way to transform the look of the outside of your home!

The garage door is the largest feature on the front of the house, and did you know that you can change it? If you want to make an exciting change that will bring a striking new appearance to your home, consider our collection of modern-style garage doors. 

Joe Wilde Company modern-style garage doors are available in three product lines: Modern Steel, Avante, and Modern Canyon Ridge. Here’s a summary of our Modern Steel garage door product line to help you decide if this door is the right choice for your home.

Modern Steel Garage Door Line

If you desire only a subtle nod to the modern style, our line of Modern Steel doors offers a touch of modern beauty with simple upkeep. Modern Steel garage doors are available with a wide variety of options to suit your taste and your home’s appearance. Whether your home is mid-century modern, contemporary, or somewhere in between, these beautiful and durable steel-panel garage doors will add curb appeal to your home’s exterior.

First, start with the panel design. Modern Steel garage doors are available with either flush or grooved steel panels. Second, decide if you want to include windows, which is the feature that typically sets a modern-style garage door apart from a classic style. Windows come in short (square), long (horizontal), and slim (horizontal) shapes. Include just a few windows or fill the entire door with windows. The available choices of window size and shape allow up to a dozen different configurations. The glass for the windows is available in single pane or insulated and comes in Clear, Frosted, Obscure, and Rain. And if you desire an even more custom look, add in the Decorative Window Inserts from over a dozen options.

Next, choose your color or finish option for the door. Eleven standard colors include popular choices for modern garage doors like black, brown, and bronze, but also grey, green, several shades of tan, and traditional white. If you prefer the look of a woodgrain door, then you will love the Ultra-Grain Finish, which comes in Cypress Medium, Cherry, Walnut, and Slate. The Lustra Finish will give the door a matte look, and the Ultra-Grain Plank finish will give it a wood-like horizontal plank design. And if these options are not quite right for you, the Color Blast Custom Paint option enables you to get the exact Sherwin-Williams color you desire.

Lastly, in a cold climate, an insulated door will help keep your garage warmer during winter. These Modern Steel garage doors are available in 1, 2, or 3-layer steel and insulation construction. Insulated door R-values range from 4.4 to 18.4.
