Long Panel Garage Door

How To Easily Brighten Up Your Home

The homeowner of this almond-colored long-panel garage door was looking for something Iconic, and we’re glad they added windows and a color swap! A great way to brighten up your exterior is to choose a lighter color that would complement the other features of your home. This garage door project was great because this door is no longer camouflaged among the Phoenix, AZ desert-scapes.

Just as you would change up your haircolor to brighten up with the change of seasons, the same sentiment can be shared with your garage door replacement!

What Kind of Panels Does Your Garage Door Have? What’s The Difference?

Adding design features like short panels, long panels, raised panels, recessed panels, flushed panels, or sans panels is up to the homeowner. Opting for panels on the face of your garage door is great for adding texture and overall dimension. Smaller panels on the face of a garage door add depth, creating pleasant details for a textured look, as displayed above.

Here is some garage door terminology: short panels are square-shaped panes, and long panels are rather rectangular panes. Long panels, like on this almond-colored long-panel garage door, give it an elongated and appealing textured look.

Look Closer for Window Details

Another subtle design feature is the small window inserts. Look closer, and you’ll see Clopay’s Prairie window design which further enhances the visual appeal of a long-panel garage door window.

The size of your windows is solely a matter of preference for your garage door project. Slim windows are more commonly found on modern steel, faux wood, or aluminum garage doors if the homeowners vie for window options at all.

Usually, window details on a garage door are a stylish aesthetic, and this project shows that these windows add to this long-panel garage door design. To begin designing your very own garage door project, schedule a consultation with our Iconic installers today!
