Looking for a new garage door? Don’t settle for “good enough.” Your garage door is the largest moving part of your home—and one of the first things people notice. At Doorix, we specialize in luxury aluminum garage doors that mimic the beauty of real wood, last for decades, and require virtually no maintenance.

Here are four essential things to know before you buy—plus real-world examples to help you make the best choice.

1. Not All Materials Are Equal—Aluminum Offers Unmatched Durability

Most garage doors are made from:

  • Steel – Strong, but rusts and dents easily

  • Wood – Beautiful, but high maintenance

  • Vinyl – Inexpensive, but flimsy in extreme temperatures

Doorix garage doors are made from premium-grade aluminum that won’t warp, crack, or rust—and they’re 40% lighter than steel, ensuring smoother operation and a longer lifespan.

2. Looks Matter—And They Help Sell Homes

Your garage door makes up nearly half of your home’s front exterior, making it one of the most impactful visual elements. A beautifully designed, high-end door significantly boosts curb appeal and resale value. Upscale garage door replacements can return up to 94% of the investment when selling your home, according to a national real estate study.

Real story: A real estate agent shared that after their client installed a Doorix Modern Aluminum Glass door, the home sold for $120,000 above asking price—all thanks to buyers falling in love with its clean, contemporary style.

3. Wood-Look Without Wood Problems—Low Maintenance Saves Time and Stress

Wood doors crack, fade, and demand constant refinishing. Steel doors may rust or dent. Vinyl doors can warp in sunlight. Doorix aluminum doors are virtually maintenance-free—just a simple wipe-down when needed.

We’ve developed patent-pending wood-grain aluminum technology that perfectly mimics the warmth and texture of real wood—without any of the upkeep. By choosing Doorix, you can spend less time on maintenance and more time enjoying your stunning door.
