Headroom is the distance between the top of the door and the lowest point of the ceiling or any obstruction such as a garage door opener rail, pipes, or ductwork.
Backroom is the distance from the garage door to the back wall of the garage. The door height plus 18″ is required for proper door installation. Extra backroom is needed for the installation of an automatic garage door opener.

If your garage is not attached to your house, or you are not concerned with insulation, you can purchase a door with a lower R-value or no garage door insulation at all.
