Garage Door Trends 2024
It’s fair to say that garage doors have changed pretty dramatically since 1921 when the very first overhead door was invented. In the intervening century, we’ve seen a wide range of garage door types enter the market, from those that maximise garage space to options that can be operated at just a touch of a button.
Every year, new innovations are introduced, with garage door trends constantly changing and developing.
In this article, the team here at SAA Industrial & Garage Door Specialists will take a look at the top garage door trends you can expect to see in 2024.
Matching garage and entrance doors
These days, garage doors are about much more than just functionality. In fact, in many cases, garage doors play a crucial role in the design and aesthetics of your property and help to enhance kerb appeal.
With this in mind, many people are seeking harmony between their garage doors and other aspects of their property’s design. One trend that reflects this is matching garage doors with entrance doors. This trend sees the colour and style of garage doors and front doors align, creating a consistent and uniform appearance. Garage doors can also be matched with external gates and other property features.
Garage doors with windows
Another visual trend that looks set to continue in 2024 is garage doors with windows.
No longer are garages just used as storage spaces for vehicles and household items, instead there is a growing trend for garages to be converted into home offices, gyms and recreational areas. With this in mind, many people will opt for a new garage door that allows access to natural light.
Garage doors with windows are becoming increasingly popular because of this and they also provide the exterior of a property with an aesthetic boost due to their modern look.
Smart garage doors
While the integration of technology into garage doors is nothing new – after all, electric garage door openers were invented in 1926 – as it has developed, garage doors have become more and more sophisticated.
Smart garage doors have become more and more commonplace in recent years, and this trend looks to gain even more prominence in 2024. Doors can be connected to Wi-Fi networks and operated by smartphones, making the process far more convenient so that people don’t even have to leave their vehicles to open their garage.
Garage door security is also enhanced with smart technology integration as it gives people greater control over who has access to a property – a benefit to both domestic and commercial property owners.
Remote-controlled garage doors are also popular and come equipped with controls, fobs and keypads that operate the doors in much the same way, and only require a click of a button.
Energy efficient doors
The cost of living crisis has hit domestic households and businesses hard in recent years, so it’s perhaps no surprise that more energy-efficient doors are a trend that is set to grow in 2024.
Insulated shutters and garage doors help a property retain heat, keeping it more comfortable for those inside during the colder months and even contributing to a reduction in energy bills.
