Magazines, interior designers, landscapers, and others are always talking about ways to improve the look, style, and value of your home. While the focus may be on the paint, materials, and types of plants used, depending on what you’re hoping to update, have you considered upgrading your garage door? Newer technologies, engineering, and visible enhancements can be incorporated into this part of your home as well, so keep reading to discover what kind of trends you might consider.
Smart Living Means Added Security & Convenience
Smart features are not only found in thermostats, kitchen appliances, and home security systems; they’re also available when choosing a new garage door.
Some of the most unique features that professionals can integrate include:
- Opening and closing can occur with your smartphone and the corresponding app
- Integrating your voice control with smart assistants (i.e., Alexa, Siri, etc.)
- Immediate alert notification if the garage is left open
- Enhanced security features to ensure greater safety (i.e., fingerprint authentication, etc.)
Ensuring Sustainability for an Environmentally Friendly Way of Life
More garage doors are being crafted with sustainability in mind. Manufacturers are using eco-friendly materials and designs to ensure greater energy efficiency.
With superior insulation being used, your garage door can help maintain a balanced temperature throughout the year (warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer). This not only keeps items enclosed and better protected but also lowers the cost of your energy bill. Additionally, your garage door can be powered by solar panels for greater renewable energy.
You can also inquire about using “greener” materials if you want to reduce your carbon footprint – something many companies are doing these days. Your door can be crafted from various woods, recycled steel, or even iron.
Creating Eye-Catching Curb Appeal
Apart from the security, energy efficiency, and more convenient integrations that your garage door can possess, you might also want to consider its aesthetics. This is especially true if you want eye-catching curb appeal.
Traditional glass panels offer a contemporary look that is in high demand, but those that are “smart” can adjust based on how much natural light you want filtering in.
Other options you might consider include LED lighting or various textures and colors to achieve your vision.
