How to Measure for your Black Garage Door

Before you jump in and order your modern and Glass garage door, we recommend taking some time to get the correct measurements for your next modern garage door.

Having the correct measurements will avoid unnecessary expenses and time wasted in the future.

Measure the width

Step 1: Measure the width of the garage opening from side to side or left to right. This is the distance between the right and left sides of the finished opening.

For best results, the inside of the garage door opening should be framed with 2″ x 6″ wood. Look for general irregularities, such as jambs which are not square.

Measure the hight

Step 2: Measure the height of the opening at the highest point. It is always a good idea to measure in the center and then once on each end of your opening. Usually the center of the opening will be the highest point.

This is the distance between the floor and the top of the finished opening. Look for general irregularities, such as un-level floor.

Step 3: Measure the width of the areas beside the openings. Up to 5″ is required on each side for installation of the vertical track. If this is a 2-door installation, center post should be a min. of 10″ wide to allow both vertical tracks from each door to be mounted.

Measure for Springs and Opener Installation

Step 4: Measure the area between the top of the door opening and the ceiling (or to the lowest obstruction at ceiling). See headroom requirements for track radius below. A minimum of 12″ is required plus add 2” for the installation of an automatic garage door opener so you will need a total of at least 14″ for proper functioning.

Step 5: Measure the distance from the opening to the rear of the garage or nearest obstruction. For sectional type doors, the backroom requirement is the door height plus an additional 18″ for manual lift doors. If an electric opener is to be installed, the door’s backroom requirement is the door height plus an additional 4’2″.

The Sleek garage door insulation is made out of polyurethane or styrofoam. It has one of the highest insulation value in any garage door on the market featuring a powerful 15.07 R-value. This type of insulation will keep your garage nice and warm when you need it.

Polyurethane is a polymer composed or organic units joined by urethane links. It is mostly used in construction, car seating, and furniture but it is used in many other applications. 

Polyurethane is sprayed into each panel and makes a very tight fit which will add to the rigidity of the panel when it is new giving it a higher R-Value . 

Polyurethane is the more expensive material than styrofoam but doesn’t usually add too much more money to the price of the door.
