Which garage door material is best for me?

Q: Which garage door style is best?

• <div><p>The style of the garage door that's best for you depends more on your needs. Are you driving in and out of the garage daily, or are you just storing tools and holiday decor there? For regular use, you'll want a door that is easy to operate and durable. If you only wish to use the garage for storage, go for a less expensive style or one that maximizes curb appeal over functionality.</p></div>

Q: Is painting a garage floor a good idea?

• <div><p>There are many benefits to painting a garage floor, especially if you use an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/epoxy-coating-transforms-boring-flooring.htm">epoxy floor coating</a>. In general, paint makes your garage easier to clean. Since concrete is porous, it tends to absorb things like dirt, grime, mildew, oil, and grease. Paint&mdash;specifically epoxy-based paint&mdash;creates a barrier that helps you easily mop up the mess before it stains or is difficult to remove. </p></div>

Q: How long does garage door insulation last?

• <div><p>Garage door <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-a-house-last.htm">insulation can last</a> anywhere from 20 to 100 years depending on the type of insulation. Cellulose has the shortest lifespan coming in at between 20 and 30 years, while spray foam, mineral wool, and fiberglass can last between 80 and 100 years with proper maintenance. </p><p>Humidity plays a role in how long more susceptible insulation materials&mdash;like fiberglass&mdash;last. Once fiberglass batts reach the 15-year mark, you'll need to routinely inspect your insulation to ensure that it is in mint order.</p></div>
