How do I measure for a new garage door?
To measure for a new door, take 5 key measurements:
- Width of the opening
- Height of the opening
- Side room (left & right of the opening)
- Headroom (space above the opening)
- Backroom (distance from the garage opening to the back wall)

How much headroom is required above a residential garage door?
There are different lift types for garage doors. When we are dealing with “Standard” lift, please find below the headroom required based on the type of hardware.
| Type | Radius: 12 inches | Radius: 15 inches |
| 2 inch Commercial Door height: 8 to 12 ft. | 12 inches | N.A. |
| 2 inch Commercial Door height : over 12 ft. | 13 ½ inches | 15 inches |
| 3 inches Industrial | N.A. | 15 inches |
Special Notes : * If you have a trolley-type operator, make sure to add 2 ½ inches.
IMPORTANT: Do “Standard” lift movement if you have over 2 ft. (61 cm) of headroom. Make sure to use a “High Lift” movement. It is necessary to allow clear space above the garage door.
For Low Headroom garage, the minimum headroom requirement is this following:
| Type | Low Headroom Rear Installation | Low Headroom Front Installation |
| 2 inches Commercial Door height: 8 to 12 ft. | 4 inches | 8 inches |

What?s the difference between insulated and non-insulated garage doors?
Insulated doors are energy-efficient and better for extreme temperatures. Non-insulated are budget-friendly but less
efficient.
Let’s compare them:
| Insulated Garage Door |
Non Insulated Garage Door |
Keeping warm temperature inside the garage |
This door is constructed with only single layer of steel |
Less noise |
In the summer they tend to overheat in extreme hot weather, same as for the winter they allow the cold weather to get inside your house. |
Stronger (good for double garage door larger) |
Your heat pump will work much harder to keep the balance |
You can also compare by looking at the attached images, it shows clearly the difference between insulated and non insulated garage door.
