The standard door of most of the homes that people buy is the pan garage door. It comes in various colors and sizes. Also it fits the bill. Unless you plan on spending huge sums of money on your dream home, this is all you can settle for.

Pan garage doors are steel doors with raised planks just to give it a wooden look. Even though they look quite close to wooden doors they have few drawbacks.

One of them is that they make a lot of noise when you open and close them. And secondly, they are pretty good insulators so your home is going to turn into a sauna pretty fast.

A homeowner can upgrade his garage door with manufactured insulated garage door for $1,500 to $2,000. But if the home owner wants a door with windows on the top, the costs would increase to approximately $3000.

For those looking to add a unique touch to their garage, there are many options you can opt for. You can choose panels emulating wooden boards as well as frosted tinted glass-paneled doors. But these doors start from $5000.

People have the misconception that glass doors make the room hotter than steel doors. But mostly the temperature of the room remains the same in both cases.

Another option for your garage door is a copper one. The copper panels develops a natural patina over time that makes it attractive. And these doors can be estimated to cost around $12,000 to $15,000.

You can also look for a proper wood door that can be available at numerous showrooms. But no matter what style you choose, it is important you take good care of the garage door springs from time to time. You can carry that out by lubricating the hinges and springs of the door with a good non dust collecting lubricant. Alternatively, you can also call door experts to take care of that part for you.

SPOTLIGHT: Sweet vinyl by DREAMOUR

What happens when two immensely talented visionaries come together to create elegance and ingenuity in a sculptural glass fragranced candle? Dreamour. That is the long and short version of how Dreamour was created. Founded by Karissa Rowe and Neal Klotsman in late September 2022, Dreamour was founded with the goal of creating a luxury fragrance brand that operates at the intersection of functional art in the candle market space.

Rowe, a Parsons School of Design graduate, set out to fill the niche of integrating design in the candle marketplace. Unlike most candle vessels that are mass-produced, Dreamour’s founders desired to prioritize the artisanal craftsmanship of glass in their production processes of the sculptural glass designs. This resulted in a long timeline of sourcing the globe for talented glass artisans who could transform a sketch into a functional and sophisticated candle vessel. Each and every candle vessel is hand-blown, inherently resulting in a one-of-a-kind product and unique experience for the consumer. These functional fragrant candles also act as a piece of décor due to its sculptural and alluring appearance.

Sweet Vinyl, Dreamour’s first candle scent, fills the room with musky & leathery notes combined with earthy notes of vetiver and cypriol, topped with a citrus touch of bergamot and mandarin. The founders worked with master perfumers in Grasse, France, to create a scent that invoked notes of memorable moments, emphasizing high quality ingredients in the fragrances in a soy wax blend. This resulted in candles that consist of clean ingredients, a vegan formula, and is entirely cruelty-free.

It is the personification of the glass blowers’ spirit, the heart of Grasse imprisoned in a bottle, and the narrative of two visionaries that sets Dreamour at the top of the candle market pedestal. Dreamour embodies the sophistication and savior-faire French perfumery as a luxury brand, while being a NYC based brand. Dreamour is currently stocked at Patron of the New in New York, along with other major designer luxury known brands. Rowe and Klotsman are currently expanding their production lines and will drop new fragrances and designs in early 2023. Don’t expect anything ordinary with Dreamour, as they will continue to bring a unique perspective to the marketplace of home fragrances.
