Aluminum Garage Doors
For a beautiful and sophisticated look, Wayne Dalton carries aluminum doors in 4 major styles. These are frameless glass, aluminum glass, glass garage, and aluminum exterior shutter. Anodized aluminum construction makes these doors practically maintenance-free.
Wayne Dalton’s newest addition, the Model 8450 Luminous, uses a frameless garage for an ultra-modern aesthetic.
Fiberglass Garage Doors
Wayne Dalton’s designer fiberglass doors are made with molded fiberglass bonded to steel doors for extra durability. Their 7 ft doors come in three section panels, and 8 ft doors in four sections (larger sized doors are available depending on panel design). Each panel design uses a distinct wood pattern for a realistic wood grain finish.
Wood Garage Doors
Wayne Dalton sells wood designs in cherry, oak, and mahogany. The biggest benefit to these is the beautiful and authentic wood look that instantly adds curb appeal.
Their Model 9800 even has foamed-in-place polyurethane 7.6 R-value insulation. This helps with improved energy efficiency, quiet operation, and the ability to block street noise.
Steel Garage Doors
Wayne Dalton carries 8 types of steel doors, each a low-maintenance, heavy-duty option for homeowners. These garage door styles range from carriage house, to classic raised panels, and designer styles. There are also numerous options for designs, colors, windows, and hardware.
Steel is the most popular garage door material. Their Classic style offers traditional short or long raised panel designs most commonly seen from street view. Carriage House doors look like swinging stable-house doors. Designer Steel comes in tall heights, large windows, and full-scale embossment designs.
Vinyl Garage Doors
These doors are naturally salt air and sand-resistant, making them perfect for sea-spray coastal regions. Wayne Dalton vinyl doors feature glacier white, Adobe cream, Monterey sand, and Cape Cod gray. They have four window designs in beautiful, timeless styles that last for years.
The Wayne Dalton Model 8700 is their official vinyl model, available to view in their photo gallery.
Wood Garage Doors
Warm and authentic, wood doors are available in 6 unique designs. Hand-built by Amish craftsmen in Mt. Hope, Ohio, and wood artisans in Centralia, Washington, their wood doors are designed with attention to detail. These wood doors range from sectional doors to carriage house designs, each with enough variety to fit any preference or style.
Their website features a Garage Door Design Center
If you’re curious to see what your garage door will look like, try Wayne Dalton’s interactive Garage Door Design Center.
The design center takes buyers through the selection process step-by-step. First, choose a material like handcrafted wood or contemporary aluminum. Next, pick a panel design like Sonoma or Vertical Raised Panel. The Designer lets you edit by door size, color, window, glass, and hardware until it’s ready to apply to a home photo. The window lets you save, print, or share your creation for future reference.
It’s a handy tool that eliminates the guesswork in shopping for garage doors. The website also has an Architect Resource Center that features detailed specs on each door.
