Q: Are glass garage doors insulated?

• <div><p>One of the biggest disadvantages of glass garage doors is that they are not the best at insulating your garage. In the summer, heat can enter through the glass, while in the winter, heat can escape through the glass, increasing your electricity and gas bills as you crank up your HVAC unit. You can help mitigate the poorer insulation by investing in insulated glass and insulating your garage.</p></div>

Q: What are the alternatives to a driveway gate?

• <div><p>A traditional driveway gate isn&rsquo;t your only option when installing a barricade in front of your driveway. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-security-gates.htm">security gate</a> like a swing gate, double swing gate, bi-folding gate, vertical gate, or pivot gate could work just as well as your driveway gate&mdash;if not better for your home depending on which qualities you&rsquo;re after. Like sliding driveway gates, many of these alternatives work with automatic features that simplify entering and exiting your property.</p></div>

Q: How do I protect my garage door from burglars?

• <div><p>If you also have a standard door leading to your garage, install a robust deadbolt lock and reinforce the frame with security plates. Then, secure any windows with shatterproof glass or film to deter break-ins. Consider a smart garage door opener for your car entrance, enabling remote monitoring and control through your smartphone. Motion-activated lighting around the garage to deter intruders is a great way to amplify these security efforts. Lastly, educate your family on security practices, such as keeping the garage entrances closed and locked.</p></div>

Q: What's the difference between a garage and a carport?

• <div><p>Garages are often equipped with lighting, electrical boxes, and sometimes even heating and cooling, while carports rarely have utilities. A garage is an enclosed structure that can lock and usually has an automatic door. A carport is often wood or plastic and is designed only to protect a car from elements like rain, snow, and hail. Carports are commonly seen on property where an attached garage is unfeasible but can be a cost-effective solution for car protection for anyone without a completed garage. </p></div>

Q: What kind of paint do you use for garage doors?

• <div><p>You have a few options of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-garage-door-paint.htm">paint for garage doors</a>. Acrylic paint offers excellent UV- and weatherproof resistance, easily adheres to surfaces, and dries quickly. However, it has limited color options available and requires multiple coats. Oil-based paints last long, are easy to apply, and may only need one coat, but dry slowly and emit more VOCs. Latex offers superior color reflection, available in a wide range of colors, and it&rsquo;s highly forgiving. However, latex can crack and peel over time and may need a primer for even coverage.</p></div>
