Types of Garage Doors Explained

CC0/ theredbeardagency/Pixabay

A big garage can be a workshop for your projects, a place to store your expensive tools, a home for your car or a getaway for you when you need a break from the family. In truth, a garage does all of these jobs for most homeowners so this is a more important room of the house than most of us realize. If you're shopping for a new garage door to replace one that's seen better days, you have lots of choices. Do you go for a sliding, folding, up-and-over or roll-up door? Do you buy a steel, wood or composite door? Get it right and you won't need to replace the door for a long time.

Door Repair

Should you repair your existing door or replace it? The door is made up of lots of parts so repairing a garage door isn't like maintaining any other door in the home. You might have hinges that are worn or an opening mechanism that jams. Whatever the issue, in most cases you'll need an expert. Garage doors develop both mechanical and electrical faults. You could have a problem with the belt drive and the sensor for example, which are two parts of the garage door opener that require different skills to repair.

Photoelectric Sensors

Your door's photoelectric sensors, which prevent the door from closing when a person or object is in the doorway, sometimes develop a fault that's easily fixed so if you find that your garage doors won't close when you ask them to, it might be that the sensors are not aligned. There are two sensors placed about six inches from the ground that have to be lined up with one another in order to work. One sensor sends a beam towards the other so if one is misaligned, the door will not close. This is an easy fix as you can adjust the bracket housing one of the sensors until they are aligned again.

Servicing

How often should the garage door be serviced? Most experts recommend that the door is serviced once a year even if no issues arise. Your garage door is opened no matter what the weather is like outside so it will be damaged over time with use and through the weather so it needs to be looked at. Having a service will prolong the life of your garage door as the engineer will lubricate areas of the door, tighten up bolts and screws and adjust the spring tensions to make sure the door works as it was designed to.

New Door Prices

Let's consider the cost of a new door so you can work out if maintaining or repairing the existing door makes financial sense. The cost of the door depends on the size of the garage, the material uses in constructing the door and the opening mechanism used. A wooden door on a typical eight or nine-foot single garage would be the cheapest option. If the door opening is a simple manual operation, you'll save even more of your hard-earned dollars.

New Door Options

Do you opt for a steel door or go for something else? The typical steel door is made of two layers of galvanized steel that's primed or painted with a strong topcoat. Steel doors are great because they can be painted to match your home and can be bought with or without insulation, however dents and corrosion can limit the life of a steel door. Wooden doors in cedar or redwood look great but they're not as durable as steel doors so perhaps a wood composite is the answer. These doors have a wooden frame covered with fiberglass sheets. They look like natural wood but have none of the disadvantages.

Garage Door Openers

Whether you need a door that opens at the push of a button for security reasons, for convenience or for a little of both, a belt-driven door opener adds to the home. They are easy to install and even the budget models are reliable and powerful enough to open the heaviest doors. You'll expect a remote control and a multi-function wall control with any garage door opener but opt for a wireless keyless entry system because that includes a keypad to open the door, which is ideal if there are lots of family members using the garage.

Just in time for fall, we've rounded up a selection of stylish spaces that are filled with cozy touches ranging from warm hues to layers of textured accessories. Get inspired to try these simple design tricks to make your interior more warm and inviting for the chilly season.

Opt for a Bed with Texture

The combination of an headboard upholstered in velvet and a plush throw at the foot of the bed make this bedroom design by Sasha Bikoff feel warm and cozy.

Go for a Monochromatic Look

A monochromatic look makes this guest bedroom in a London townhouse even more inviting. To add warmth and texture to the space, hotelier and designer Kit Kemp chose a black-and-white Brunschwig & Fils Toile de Jouy fabric for the walls, canopy, pillows and bedding.

Try a Dark Color Scheme

Certain rooms can benefit from a dark color scheme. In the inviting den of this West Village loft, black walls complement a custom sofa— a 1960s Harvey Probber design that's covered in a grey Ralph Lauren silk velvet.

Layer, Layer, Layer

Warm design needn't be reserved for the den or library. Make your sun-filled living room cozy, too, with abundant layering. This room, at its skeleton, is cold with its exposed brick walls, black window frames and white wooden beams. A plethora of layered rugs, throws and pillows, however, instantly warms it. Try the trick seen here: Layer two rugs on top of each other under the coffee table, then leave a few pillows on the ground to welcome guests to sit wherever they please.

Add Knits Wherever Possible

Knitted materials have a way of making you feel cozied up and at home, and there are many ways to incorporate them into your living spaces. This reading nook pairs a knitted pouf and a knitted blanket with textured pillows, warm woods in the side table and mirror, and a fluffy rug layered over the carpet.

Blend Warm Hues With Books

It's common to think about color first when designing a warm space—and there's a good reason why. Warm hues like gold and chestnut create an inviting, cozy atmosphere in this living room. Adding a collection of books, like that in the coffee table here, also gives a room a sense of quiet, thoughtful coziness.

Mix Pastels With Brass

This bedroom blends a rosy pink with two warm brass mirrors, whose color is reflected in the bedspread's front-and-center textured pillow. Golden orange flowers illuminate the dresser, and a soft rug underfoot keeps toes warm in the mornings.

Include A Touch Of Leather

Even if you prefer a minimalist color scheme, just one leather item can warm up the entire space, as the armchair does in this room (even when paired with a cooler gray blanket and pillow). Adding greenery, like potted plants and flower bouquets, can also prevent a warm room from becoming too stuffy and brighten your design in the winter months.

Cool Tones With A Warm Blanket

If your color palette preferences err toward blacks and grays rather than, say, warm browns and mahoganies, offset the coolness of your color scheme with a warm, furry throw. In this room, it instantly heats up the space with soft texture.

Warm Photos And A Reading Lamp

This cozy living room has all the elements of warmth and comfort: a surplus of pillows, a textured rug underfoot and a luscious green plant. Perhaps most striking, however, is the quadrant of warm-hued photos that add shades of orange and yellow to the room, and a curved reading lamp that makes the space feel like a relaxing reading nook.

Via Homepolish designer Alison Petty

Use Texture Wherever You Can

Texture is important for a warm space, but not just when it comes to a blanket or a pillow. Case in point: This room features woven plate hangings, textured window shades and basket to hold furry textiles. A bright blue rug adds a pop of color to the warm browns that fill the space.

Mix A Glam Element With A Woodsy Element

Just one woodsy accent, like the antlers shown here, won't make your space feel like a cabin—especially if you pair it with a playful element, like the "XOXO" marquee sign. While a forest element can make a space feel cozy, a playful accent makes the room welcoming and relaxed (key elements of warm interior design).

Pirate Ship Bedroom

If there's a way to save a few bucks on everyday expenses, like sending packages and letters, why not take advantage of it? Web-based shipping platforms like PirateShip.com promise affordability, but they also cut down on wait times and long lines — all the things that make stopping by your local United States Postal Service (USPS) office such a drag. So, the question remains: Is this kind of shipping service right for you?

PirateShip.com is a free, web-based shipping software for mail of all types, from letters to packages. It sells USPS postage and provides tools for printing labels and tracking packages through the USPS. (And, no, they don't ship your packages via pirate ships, but the notion does make for a good mascot, doesn't it?)

Photo Courtesy: Pirate Ship

Seems like a pretty good deal, right? If avoiding the post office seems like a dream come true, you'll be happy to know that there are plenty of other services like Pirate Ship, such as ShipStation, Easyship, Stamps.com, Shippo and ShippingEasy. Like Pirate Ship, all of these platforms offer services for all your postage, label and package needs.

What Sets Pirate Ship Apart?

To put it simply, Pirate Ship knows all the details you don't have the bandwidth to memorize. That is, the USPS offers over a dozen different types of shipping services, and determining which service is most appropriate for your needs depends on a lot of different factors, including your package's size, weight and destination. And, of course, your own needs: Do you want insurance? How about tracking? Needless to say, the right choice isn't always obvious.

Additionally, there's a lot of overlap between all of those services, though they all come in at drastically different prices. And, let's face it, who has time to memorize all of these details? If you're looking for a way to ship affordably, while still getting the most bang for your buck, Pirate Ship is the way to go. The platform ensures that you'll always be sold the cheapest option — and the option that meets all of your other requirements.

How Can Pirate Ship Keep You Better Informed and Organized?

In addition to offering multiple shipping services — First Class Package, Priority Mail Cubic, Priority Mail Flat Rate, Weight-Based Priority Mail, Priority Mail Regional Rate and more — USPS also offers more than one pricing tier. That is, pricing isn't super straightforward. And things seem to be changing constantly.

Photo Courtesy: Pirate Ship

Prior to 2019, the USPS had three pricing tiers but, that year, it simplified those tiers, reducing them to just two: Retail Pricing and Commercial Pricing. If you go down to your local post office to send a package, you'll be charged the retail price for whatever service you choose. If you send high volumes of commercial mail, you'll be charged a commercial — and significantly discounted — rate for the same service. Thankfully, Pirate Ship simplifies the cost breakouts even further by issuing an annual statement with all of the USPS prices for customers' information.

How Does Pirate Ship Operate Without Charging Markups on the USPS' Cheapest Rates?

One of the biggest elements of Pirate Ship's business model? Charge no fees or markups above those of USPS, all while passing along the lowest-available, discounted commercial shipping rates offered by the USPS. So, is Pirate Ship more affordable than the USPS? Sort of. That is, Pirate Ship makes sure that shipping is absolutely no more expensive than the cheapest possible rate available at the USPS — and it helps regular old retail customers access those more affordable commercial rates.

Photo Courtesy: Pirate Ship

When it comes to examining Pirate Ship's affordability, it might be better to look toward the platform's other web-based competitors, rather than the USPS. While Pirate Ship isn't the only company providing discounted USPS rates for retail customers, it is avoiding markups. Remember that the USPS only has two rates, retail and commercial. If a shipping and postage platform offers multiple tiers for a particular service — using words like "Base," "Plus," "Green," or "Preferred" — then the difference between those platforms are markups charged by that shipping vendor. Luckily, you won't find anything like that on Pirate Ship.

Is Pirate Ship Killing the USPS?

Whether or not Pirate Ship is contributing to USPS' financial struggles seems to be a resounding "no." You might be wondering, If Pirate Ship doesn't charge markups, how is it staying afloat? The reality is we make our money just like any other shipping software company; through our official partnership with USPS," Pirate Ship states on its website. "The big difference between us and our competitors is that we've used modern ideas to build a lean business that's able to operate with our partnership income alone, so that we don't have to charge our customers nickels and dimes on top like everyone else."

Since Pirate Ship doesn't undercut the USPS or divert shipping away from it, it's less harmful than other modern-day services. For example, email has vastly reduced letter traffic, while entities like FedEx and Amazon, who ship packages to customers directly, often cut out the USPS entirely. Sure, Pirate Ship, an Approved Postal Provider, is helping customers find the cheapest USPS options, but, at the same time, those prices are set by the USPS. All of this to say, the relationship between the postal service and Pirate Ship is all well and good — and, in all likelihood, won't negatively impact the USPS' ability to weather the changing tides.
