Many of you put a new garage door on your holiday wish list this year to not only improve your home’s curb appeal and value, but boost its energy efficiency and comfort, as well. If you purchased a model that qualifies for the Energy Tax Credit you’ll find some extra savings in your stocking around tax time.

If a better looking garage door is on your list but not quite in the budget this year these decals from “Style Your Garage” give whole new meaning to the term “dream garage.”

“Style Your Garage” (http://www.style-your-garage.com/us/) makes photorealistic murals to cover your garage door. Instead of a closed door, passers-by will see something special, like an expensive sports car, an airplane, a fancy room interior, or even exotic animals that “appear” to be in your garage.

We wanted to end the year on a light note, so enjoy. Happy Holidays and we look forward to seeing you back on the Clopay blog in 2011. If you are attending the International Builders Show January 12 - 15 in Orlando, look for us at booth# W2071.
