Introduction

Steel and fiberglass are the two most common garage door materials in the GTA. Each has clear strengths, and the right pick depends on where you live and how you use the garage.

Key Points

  • Steel — strongest, most common, best price-to-performance ratio
  • Fiberglass — lighter, rust-proof, ideal for coastal or very humid environments
  • Both materials can be paired with foam insulation for energy efficiency

What This Means For Homeowners

For most Toronto and Mississauga homeowners, double-skin insulated steel wins on cost, durability and resale value. Fiberglass shines when weight or salt-spray are the main concerns.
