Are you looking for a clean, sleek, contemporary garage door to complement your home? You have several stunning options. Some types of garage doors don’t work well on modern-style homes, so it's important to know what is available. Consider the style and composition while choosing a new garage door for your modern home.
Aluminum doors have clean, sharp lines and corners, making them a perfect addition for many modern homes. The large, geometric glass window panes are elegant and sophisticated. You can choose from a variety of types of glass. If you want to let in the maximum amount of natural light and full visibility to fuse indoor and outdoor spaces, choose clear glass. If you don’t want everyone walking or driving by to see straight into your garage, choose another type of glass, such as tinted, frosted, etched, laminated, or obscure.
If you love the warm, classic look of wood, but the carriage house style doesn’t mesh well with your modern home, don’t worry! You now have the option to choose a contemporary wood door! Carriage House Door recently introduced a line of beautiful modern wooden doors.

Steel is strong, sleek, and, depending on the design, can look modern as well. You can customize your door to have a minimalistic design. Try to avoid extra accent pieces, such as hardware, ornate windows, or complex paneling design. Simple, horizontal paneling gives a modern appearance. Steel is very affordable and will last a long time. You can also choose to add insulation value to increase your home's energy efficiency.
Another type of garage door that you can successfully incorporate into a modern home design is a fiberglass garage door. Fiberglass, like steel, is very strong, durable, and weather resistant. It can also mimic the look of other types of doors, such as wood or steel.
