In the past, garage doors were seen as nothing more than a door. As long as it opened and closed, there were no other expectations. Today, garage doors have evolved to include additional security, become aesthetically pleasing to boost curb appeal, and add functionality. In 2024, you can expect these standards to be pushed once more with new garage door trends.
A Pop of Color
The time has passed for boring garage door colors. Give the front of your home some personality with a pop of color! Bold colors like red, blue, and green, are making appearances as a trendy statement. Using a bold color adds a unique touch to the exterior of your home.
Neutrals are still in, but not white. While white is a timeless classic; blacks, grays, and browns are pushing the neutral front to exude elegance. Plus, these colors help blend in with the natural architecture of the home.
Durability Meets Design
Minimalism remains to take the stage in 2024. Garage doors that have clean lines and a functional design continue to be popular. However, a plain-Jane garage door doesn’t cut it anymore. Instead, a garage door should boost your curb appeal and be visually pleasing. In fact, garage doors these days enhance the entire exterior of the home.
Yet, durability doesn’t come at a cost for these designs. Materials such as steel, aluminum, wood, and fiberglass offer a natural resistance to wear and tear garage door experience. These materials are used to create the unique designs you see today.
Technology Integration
Everything is getting smarter, even your garage door. New technology allows you to control your door from your phone. The remote operation eliminates that sinking gut question of “Did I close the garage door today?”
New technology also brings additional security features such as wireless keypads and cameras. With this technology, you can get real-time alerts about the status of your home. Many cameras will send a signal to your phone to inform you whether someone is trying to access your garage door. These security features ensure only the people who are supposed to access your garage can.
Functional Enhancements
A garage needs to offer more than seamlessly opening and closing in 2024. Functional enhancements you can expect in a garage door this year are:
Energy Efficiency: More and more garage doors have improved their insulation to become more energy efficient. Adding insulation keeps the garage door warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This enhancement is cost-efficient. Heating and cooling your garage costs money, so you don’t want that energy escaping because your door is too thin.
Quiet Operation: There should be no stirring from your garage door. Today’s garage doors have made technological advancements which make the opening and closing process quieter. When your garage door is naturally quiet, it makes it easier to identify any squeaks, creaks, and grinds. If your garage door is making unusual sounds, this could be a sign your garage door needs to be repaired.
