Carriage House Garage Doors

A carriage house garage door is designed to look like the hinged doors on a traditional horse-drawn carriage barn.

Despite the historic appearance, they operate as standard modern overhead sectional doors — you get the charm without sacrificing convenience.

Yes. The majority of carriage house doors sold today are steel with faux-wood finishes and decorative hardware overlays. This gives you the carriage house aesthetic with the durability, insulation, and low maintenance of steel.

The Clopay Canyon Ridge is a premium line featuring thick polyurethane insulation and ultra-realistic faux-wood finishes that closely replicate the appearance of real wood planks. The Gallery collection is more affordable, with thinner insulation and a wider range of decorative window and hardware combinations. Both are excellent choices — Canyon Ridge is for the homeowner who wants the most realistic wood look without actual wood.

Absolutely. Carriage house doors complement many popular Florida home styles including Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial, coastal cottage, and Key West architecture. Steel carriage house doors with faux-wood finishes are especially popular because they provide the classic look without the moisture and humidity concerns that come with real wood in Florida.
