The aluminum overhead doors are light, which makes your garage door openers easier to lift, but they are more expensive than steel and more prone to dents. However, aluminum has a great advantage, it does not rust, so it can last for a long time, can withstand corrosive environments, such as coastal climate, and provide better insulation than steel.

The fiberglass garage door is light, stylish and has poor insulation. They are more commonly used in coastal areas and warmer climates because they are resistant to salt water corrosion and do not respond well to colder temperatures. So if you live in a sunny place near the ocean, fiberglass is the perfect material for your new garage door. Keep in mind that although the materials are inexpensive and the maintenance costs are low. Tempered glass, frosted glass, insulation glass and plexiglass are the ideal choice for fiberglass garage doors.
