Carriage House Garage Doors - Timeless Elegance Renewed

The pioneers may have led simple lives, but they sure had it right back in the 1800s when they began building solid, quality barn and stable doors. Down to our day, their timeless appeal continues to stand as a mark of taste and elegance among homeowners who are choosing to install carriage house doors on their garages. 

These doors mimic the traditional look of old-style wood doors that swung open sideways from structures that housed horse-drawn carriages. But with modern technological advancements, manufacturers can replicate their nostalgic looks with the unmatched strength and durability of insulated steel doors. You get all the beauty of antique wood doors without fear of rot, warping or maintenance.

Whether you have a single or double car garage, there’s a wide selection of styles to transform the whole look and curb appeal of your home. Both doors and inlaid windows can be straight or ached. Panel styles also vary, from traditional box panels to vertical slats for a more contemporary twist. If your taste goes to ultra-nostalgic, try overlaid diagonal braces or timbered cross bucks.

The great thing about carriage house doors is that you can practically customize all the smaller details to suit your exact preferences. Experiment with the various designs in window grilles, strap hinges, and pull handles or latches. Accent with a pair of old-time lanterns on each side of the door and your home will be ready to charm.
