What styles and colors does the Ankmar Regency Collection come in?

Most garage door collections offer one or two panel designs and a set of standard colors. The Ankmar Regency Collection takes a broader approach. With seven panel design options and a Madera sub-line that replicates natural wood grain in steel, the Regency covers more stylistic ground than any other Ankmar residential line. That range makes it adaptable across the diverse architectural styles of Denver's neighborhoods, from mid-century ranch homes in Wheat Ridge to new craftsman builds in Highlands Ranch.

The Regency is manufactured by Safe-Way Garage Doors of Warsaw, Indiana (Safe-Way Model 65) and sold through Ankmar's dealer network. That manufacturing relationship means the panel specs, insulation, and warranty terms on this collection are sourced and confirmed rather than estimated.

Seven Panel Designs: What Each Looks Like

The Regency's seven design options span the main residential garage door style categories.

Standard Raised: The most common residential format. Raised rectangular insets across each section with a framing border. Works on nearly any home style. The shadow lines from the raised edges shift through the day, giving the door visual depth without strong design commitment.

Medium Raised: A bolder profile than Standard Raised. The raised insets are more pronounced, creating stronger shadow definition. Suited to homes with similarly bold exterior detailing.

Long Raised: Extended horizontal proportions on the raised sections. Creates a wider, more horizontal visual rhythm. Pairs well with ranch-style, split-level, and contemporary-traditional homes where horizontal lines are part of the design language.

Flush: A completely smooth, flat panel face. No raised borders, no insets. The flush surface suits modern and contemporary homes where clean lines are the design intent. A flush Regency with the right color becomes a neutral backdrop rather than a design element.

Carriage House: A stamped carriage-house profile that mimics the stile-and-rail appearance of a hinged barn door. Operates as a standard sectional. Popular on craftsman, farmhouse, and traditional homes throughout Denver's established neighborhoods.

Long Carriage House: An extended version of the carriage pattern with wider proportions. Suited to larger openings where a standard-scale carriage pattern would appear undersized.

Pencil Groove: A linear texture formed by shallow vertical grooves running across the panel face. The groove detail adds texture without strong design commitment. Works on craftsman, modern, and transitional home styles.

Panel design	Best home styles
Standard Raised	Colonial, suburban, most residential
Medium Raised	Traditional with bold exterior detail
Long Raised	Ranch, split-level, contemporary-traditional
Flush	Modern, contemporary, minimalist
Carriage House	Craftsman, farmhouse, traditional
Long Carriage House	Wide openings, same styles as Carriage House
Pencil Groove	Craftsman, transitional, modern

The Madera Sub-Line: Wood-Grain Steel

The Madera sub-line is the most distinctive design option in the Regency lineup. Madera doors replicate the texture of natural oak or rosewood grain pressed into the steel panel face during manufacturing. The grain pattern is embossed into the surface. It reads as real wood from normal viewing distances.

This design choice suits several Colorado contexts specifically:

HOA-guided communities: Some homeowner associations favor a natural material appearance for garage doors. A Madera Regency delivers that look within HOA guidelines while carrying the durability and lower maintenance of a steel door.

Craftsman and mountain-style homes: The wood-grain texture on a carriage house or standard raised panel connects visually to natural materials in the same way a real wood door would, without the maintenance demands.

Real wood comparison: Real wood garage doors in Colorado require periodic refinishing. At Front Range elevations, UV intensity is high. Colorado's dry climate causes wood to check and gap at joints if not sealed regularly. A Madera door skips that maintenance cycle. The factory-applied grain and finish holds up to Colorado's climate without seasonal sealing.

Madera warranty terms: Madera panels carry a 10-year warranty against rust-through and a 5-year warranty against delamination. These terms apply specifically to the Madera sub-line. Confirm current warranty scope with G Brothers or Ankmar at time of purchase.

Colors and Finishes

The Regency Collection (manufactured by Safe-Way Garage Doors) is available in 9 standard colors: Almond, Black, Bronze, Brown, Desert Tan, Grey, Hunter Green, Sandtone, and White. The Madera sub-line adds wood-tone options matched to the oak and rosewood grain textures.

Seeing physical color chips in person is the most reliable way to evaluate how a color will read against your home's exterior. The Ankmar showroom and G Brothers carry samples that can be viewed alongside your home's exterior siding, trim, and stone colors. Color perception shifts significantly between an interior showroom and outdoor daylight.

Construction and Insulation

The Regency uses 27-gauge deep-drawn galvanized steel on both the exterior and interior skins. Deep-drawn means the steel is pressed under force to achieve depth in the panel profile. This produces a crisper, more defined panel shape than shallower stampings and maintains that shape over time.

The EPS polystyrene core is bonded to both steel skins with polyurethane adhesive. This is different from loose EPS board inserts, which can shift inside a panel over years of temperature cycling. The bonded approach keeps the panel tight as a single rigid composite unit. The door is 2 inches thick. The R-value is 10.25.

R-10.25 is a solid mid-range figure for an attached garage in Colorado. It is above the R-6 to R-7 range typical of basic 2-layer insulated doors and below the R-17 to R-19 range of polyurethane-insulated premium doors. For homeowners who want real insulation without the cost of the top-spec polyurethane Ambient Collection, R-10.25 is a practical midpoint.

G Brothers sells and installs the Ankmar Regency Collection throughout the Denver metro.

Madera in HOA communities: Denver's suburban communities often have HOA guidelines that address garage door appearance. Natural-material aesthetics are a common preference in those guidelines. A Madera Regency door delivers that look with steel durability and lower maintenance costs than the real wood doors some HOAs allow. If a specific color or texture must be pre-approved, G Brothers can provide a sample and specification sheet to submit to the HOA before the order is placed.

Choosing between the Regency and Ambient: The Regency offers broader style range. The Ambient offers higher R-value and heavier-gauge steel. If design variety is the top priority and R-10.25 meets the thermal need, the Regency is the right choice. If maximum insulation performance is the goal and the Ambient's more limited style range is acceptable, the Ambient is worth the step up. G Brothers can walk through this comparison at the estimate so the decision is based on your garage's specific use, not just spec sheet numbers.

Panel design and home scale: The Long Raised and Long Carriage House designs in the Regency are well-suited to wider garage openings. A standard-scale raised panel on a 16-foot or 18-foot wide double door can appear cramped. The long panel proportions fill the wider opening more naturally. For single-car garages with narrower openings, the Standard Raised or Carriage House designs are often better-proportioned choices.

Spring sizing for a 27-gauge 3-layer door: The Regency's 27-gauge deep-drawn skins and 2-inch EPS core make it a heavier door than a single-skin or 2-layer alternative. G Brothers checks spring calibration at installation and sizes torsion springs to match the door's weight. Door balance is verified before the job is complete.
