Garage Doors: Carriage roll up

Reviewed by:
Rosemary Thornton

This garage door looks like it swings open, but it actually rolls up and can be used with a traditional automatic opener. Doors can be fabricated in steel, paint-grade plywood, or cedar, pine, redwood, mahogany or fir.

Both steel and wooden doors have a 1-3/8th- to 2-inch core of EPS (expanded polystyrene) insulation. Wooden doors are available in 16 designs; steel in 15. Single or double doors are available in stock sizes, and custom sizes can be special ordered. This company also sells complementing hardware for their doors.
