Garage Classifications

Raleigh Garage Doors and Garage Classifications

Are you still considering whether or not you’d like to add a garage onto your current home? Are you building a new home and trying to decide what type of garage would be best for you and your family? If so, you’ve come to the right place! Our Raleigh garage door and maintenance company is here to help you decide which type of garage is right for your home by offering details about the different types of garages!
Coming in many different sizes and shapes, garages tend to serve the same purpose for homeowners who have them. Even if you’re interested in building a garage onto your older home that doesn’t have one, you’re probably going to build it to house your vehicle and other storage items. What’s interesting, is that while garages and Raleigh garage doors seem to all have the same thing in common, it’s actually not true.
Garages and their doors have a multitude of options for homeowners looking to build one onto their current or new home. As we talked about in our last few posts, there are different types of materials garages can be built with. In addition, they can also come in a variety of shapes, as well as with or without Raleigh garage doors.
While we categorize the different types of garages by building material or purpose, the real way to classify them is by their size.

• Double garage
• Single garage
• Tandem garage

We also talked about attached and detached garages in a previous post, but whether or not they’re a part of your home doesn’t affect their classification of single, double, or tandem.
Garages tend to vary in size. The homeowner’s preference at the time of building usually determines the size of the garage. Typical single garages have about 150 square feet of floor area. Double and tandem garages have about 300 square feet of floor room.
To learn more about the 3 types of garages and what type of Raleigh garage doors they use, visit back with our blog post soon. We will have details on all three types!
