Battle of Garage Doors: Single vs .Double


Whether you have a double garage or ever thought about adding one, you've inevitably faced the question. Is it better to have two single doors or one large door on a double garage? There are a few practical advantages to choosing two smaller doors. 


First, what are your options if the door breaks? If you are relying on one large 16-18 foot garage door and it experiences mechanical failure, your options are limited. It's entirely possible and quite likely that both of your vehicles are stuck inside the garage. It's almost impossible for this problem to occur with two single doors. In the case of mechanical failure, you will at least have the ability to open one garage door to access a vehicle. 
Second, if you live where in an area where the temperatures drop in the wintertime, opening a large double door immediately lets in a huge blast of cold air. Pure size and common sense tell you that a single door will reduce the amount of cold air that invades your garage.


Finally, many people simply appreciate the look of two single doors. They provide a nice balance between garage door and the rest of the structure. A large single door attracts a vast amount of attention and overtakes the design of a structure. Many people dislike the look of a plain oversized door believing it to be an eyesore.
