Clingerman Doors
A fine wood garage door not only offers exceptional protection from the elements, it makes a statement about the attention to detail and pride of ownership an owner has regarding his property. Clingerman has been in the business for many years, and offers a variety of styles, designs, functions, and wood types to choose from, including AZEK/Versatex, a synthetic wood that will never crack, warp, or rot, and is impervious to almost every element, yet looks and feels exactly like real wood. Nicely Clingerman offers matching entry doors and real wood swing out carriage doors, which can also be used with a garage door opener. Family owned, their goal isn’t to mass produce, but rather, mass satisfy their customers. Clingerman Doors come with new track hardware and springs, a recommendation especially with wood doors due to their weight.

| BLT
Having perfected the rollout vinyl floor, BLT recently began producing truly unique floors with images in the vinyl to give Dad’s garage a fantastically personal flair. Imagine giving Dad a hardwood floor of vinyl, or that high-end granite-look floor, or the famous black-and-white checkerboard floor for an absolute percentage of the cost of a real hardwood, granite, or tile floor. It can be done! BLT prints a picture of wood or tile or granite or any number of other patterns on a durable substrate, which is affixed to a crystal-clear vinyl top surface – voila – the garage floor is transformed with an amazing floor. Further, the vinyl can be coated to resist even the harshest chemicals, ensuring a long life.
