Other Garage Door Styles
Flush panel garage doors are just one of the many door options available. Other garage door styles include:
Short Panel
Short-panel garage door designs feature multiple raised panels across each door section. Typically, four columns of raised rectangles are on short panel garage doors.
Long Panel
Long garage doors feature raised panels across each door section like short panel doors. Typically, long panel doors have two columns of raised rectangles.
Short Panel Bead Board
The short panel bead board garage door style provides a more textured look and often best complements traditional home styles. Similar to the short panel design, the short panel bead board typically features four columns of raised rectangular panels across each garage door panel. The only difference is that the raised rectangles have a classic beadboard look.
Long Panel Bead Board
Like above, long panel beadboard garage door styles provide a more textured look with a beadboard design that often complements traditional home styles. Like the long panel design, the long panel bead board typically features two columns of raised rectangular panels with the bead board design across each garage door panel.
Recessed
Rather than having a raised design, recessed-style garage doors feature multiple recessed panels across each garage door panel. Typically, there are eight columns of indented squares on each door panel.
