Picking a new garage door means balancing style, insulation, and durability. This guide walks through the door styles and colours we install most often across Ottawa — all Canadian-made insulated steel built to handle everything from July heat to a February deep freeze.
The doors we install are manufactured in Canada specifically for our climate. A garage door faces direct sun, driving rain, and temperature swings of 40+ degrees across a single Ottawa year — a door not built for that will warp, crack, or lose its seal within a few winters. Our door lines use double-layer steel construction with a thick polyurethane insulation core for a high insulation value that keeps the garage noticeably warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Typical lead times run about a week once you've chosen a style and colour, and every door comes with a manufacturer's paint and hardware warranty.
The traditional look most Ottawa homes already have, with short raised rectangular panels in clean horizontal rows. A versatile, timeless style that suits nearly any home, and our most requested style for straightforward replacements.
Specs: Double-layer insulated steel · standard and long-panel proportions · wide colour selection
Mimics the look of old carriage-house swing doors without sacrificing the convenience of a modern sectional door, with an arched row of windows near the top and decorative panel detailing. A strong match for farmhouse, colonial, or classic exteriors.
Specs: Insulated steel core · optional decorative hardware · arched window inserts
A relaxed variation on the raised-panel look, using longer horizontal panels for a more understated, streamlined appearance. Works well on homes with wider garage openings where shorter panels can look busy.
Specs: Insulated steel construction · elongated panel proportions · standard colour range
The most detailed and textured carriage-style option, with deeper embossing and ornate panel patterning designed to resemble hand-built wood carriage doors. A popular upgrade for larger and estate-style homes.
Specs: Deep-embossed insulated steel · decorative strap options · premium colour and woodgrain finishes
A clean, flat-panel design with no raised detailing, built for contemporary homes that favour minimalist lines. Optional horizontal slit windows add natural light without sacrificing privacy.
Specs: Flush insulated steel panels · smooth modern finish · optional linear window inserts
An all-glass-and-aluminum option that swaps steel panels for tinted or insulated glass in an aluminum frame, giving a bold, minimalist look popular on modern builds and converted living spaces. Acrylic options available for added privacy.
Specs: Aluminum frame construction · tinted or insulated glass · acrylic alternative available
Seven core colours plus a woodgrain finish for a warm, natural look without the maintenance of real wood.
