Overlay vs. Stamped Garage Doors

Are you in the market for new garage doors and you aren’t sure which kind you want? Bob’s Advance Garage Doors highly recommends these two options: overlay garage doors or stamped garage doors. Both styles are very popular, but they each add a different touch to your home.

When it comes to choosing new garage doors, you want to take your time – your garage doors add a lot of curb appeal and character to the look of your home and you want to take your time choosing the right option for you.

So, what is the difference between the two and how can you determine which one is the right option for you? Our team at Bob’s Advance Garage Doors is here to help! We are going to discuss which each style of garage door is, and then give you some guidelines to follow when making your final choice. Let’s get into it…

Overlay Garage Doors

Overlay garage doors feature decorative panels that are placed on top of the material of your garage door. These panels work on any kind of material so whether you want steel, wood or anything else, you can add this decorative touch to your doors.

Overlays add a modern and classy look to your garage doors that will add so much character and curb appeal to your home. With this kind of garage door, you have so many different options and you can fully customize your garage doors to fit with the overall theme or décor style of your home. You can select from an endless list of different panel styles, different trim accents, different windows, paint, colors, or stains.

Stamped Garage Doors

Stamped garage doors are similar to overlay doors, but instead of you adding on or attaching the panels to the door, your desired pattern or style is stamped directly into the steel door. The major difference with stamped garage doors is they can only be made out of steel, but they are embossed with a wood grain finish to give you that look of being wood.

This is a great option if you are looking for a more budget-friendly garage door option since they are fully made out of steel, and they typically tend to last longer than an overlay garage door would. Steel is known for being moisture and rust-resistant, making it a great choice for any climate.

Which one is right for you?

The answer to this question depends on where you live, what your budget is, and what style you are going for. Both options are fully customizable when it comes to design, but stamped doors come with the design stamped into them where the overlay option has the design added on top of the door itself.
