 Three ways to build Modern Steel

##  Specify the look and the construction separately. 

The same clean profile can be configured for a detached garage, an attached everyday space, or a highly insulated envelope. LGA Garage Door helps balance budget, comfort, durability, and finish.

###  Value 

**1-layer · Non-insulated**

A straightforward steel door for projects where thermal performance is not the priority.

###  Value Plus 

**2-layer · Insulated**

Added thermal resistance and quieter operation with a vinyl-backed interior.

###  Premium 

**3-layer · Up to R-18.4**

Steel skins around insulation for the strongest, quietest, most finished configuration.

Modern design directions

##  Use panel lines and glass to control the composition. 

Flush panels create the quietest canvas. Horizontal grooves add rhythm. Windows can stay at the top, stack down one side, or become a slim architectural accent.

###  Flush 

A minimal surface that lets color, material, and surrounding architecture lead.

###  Grooved 

Horizontal lines add scale and movement without traditional raised-panel detail.

###  Asymmetric glass 

Vertical stacks and contemporary slim windows turn daylight into a design feature.

Panel, finish, glass, and window-placement options vary by construction and door size.  **Color, texture, and windows**

Modern Steel supports restrained monochrome designs, warm wood-look exteriors, and strong matte contrasts. Window placement can align with nearby openings or intentionally break symmetry.

- Standard, premium, and custom Color Blast® paint colors
- Ultra-Grain® and Ultra-Grain® Plank wood looks
- Lustra™ matte finishes on compatible models
- WindCode® reinforcement on compatible configurations

Panel, finish, glass, and window-placement options vary by construction and door size.
