A new garage<\/a> can be a very useful addition to your home as well as adding extra value to your property. However there are many factors to take into consideration when choosing a new garage: type (apex or pent), size, available space, exterior finish, detached or attached, what it will be used for etc.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Type of Garage<\/h2>\n
It is important that your new garage does not detract from your home and in fact the right garage should add kerb appeal. The type of garage that is right for you will depend on the space you have available and its proximity to your home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pent garages are currently the most popular choice of concrete garage as they are offer good value for money and can easily be butted up against your home when space is tight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apex garages are also a great choice and come in a range of different sizes and roof styles to blend in with your home. \u00a0Lidget Compton\u2019s<\/a> range come with a choice of roof tile colours and roof pitch e.g. 12.5 \u00ba, 15\u00b0 or the 25\u00b0\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

Size of Garage<\/h2>\n
\u200bThe size of garage obviously depends on the space available and the planning permission rules in your area. An experienced new garage contractor <\/a>will be able to advice you on this. It is also worth thinking about what you are planning on using your garage for and making sure that it is big enough to cater for any future use plans.\u00a0<\/div>\n


\u200bGarage Exterior Finish<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n
\u200bThe look of your concrete garage can vary dramatically depending on the finish you choose for the walls. \u00a0There is a huge range of different styles and colours available so that you can match your new garage to the exterior of your home. Lidget Compton provide the choice of a simple textured wall finish, a brick wall finish or PVC cladding finish \u2013 all available in a range of colours.<\/div>\n


\u200bGarage Door<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n
Garage doors are also an important decision to get right. They are often the most visible part of your garage from the street and so it makes sense to try and choose one that blends well with the style of your home.\u00a0<\/div>\n

Detached or Attached<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n
\u200bA garage attached to your home is a very popular choice as it provides the opportunity to allow direct access from the house to the garage through an internal door.\u00a0 However larger, double garages usually look better detached as do garages set in properties with large plots of land. However more often than not, the positioning of your new garage will be determined by the space available.
