History of Carriage House Style Garage Doors
The earliest known examples of carriage doors date back to medieval times in Europe, where they were commonly used on large estates and castles. In the United States, carriage houses became more common beginning in the mid-1800s, as roads developed and the use of horse-drawn buggies expanded. Due to their animate and inanimate contents, carriage houses tended to be relatively large outbuildings (think a small barn or a detached garage).
Unlike barns and standalone garages, however, carriage houses were often designed to match the appearances of the primary homes to which they corresponded. But the main occupants of carriage houses — horses and coaches or wagons— demanded more oversized doors.
As architecture changed, so did people’s ideas of garages. As garages were used for cars or household items, garages were moved close to their homes. So, architects decided to incorporate them right into the design of the house themselves, giving them the same style and color as the rest of the house.
Carriage Garage Doors Remain Popular for Several Reasons:
Aesthetic Versatility
Carriage-type doors can complement a variety of home architecture styles. In the past, Carriage Style Garage Doors were ideal for classic and historic homes. Yet, the newly renovated carriage house garage doors can complement modern and traditional homes exceptionally well. Their elegant lines and pattern options align beautifully with various home styles, as they can be painted or finished in an array of colors or wood stains.
Panel Design Choices
In addition to the rustic x-covered panels, newer carriage garage doors have different panel options to suit a home’s exterior. For instance, carriage-style garage doors can be made with smooth or woodgrain overlay and various vertical or horizontal design options.
Window Options
Carriage-style garage doors can also be solid or crafted with windows to allow natural light when the doors are closed. Like the carriage paneling, windows are available in different forms and configurations.
Hardware Options
Add a touch of authenticity to your carriage house-style garage doors. Inspired by the artistry of traditional blacksmiths, hammered knockers, lift handles, and corner brackets are a nod to the rustic yet beautiful metalware craftsmen have used to accent doors for centuries.
