Must Have Garage Door Features & Trends of the 2020's

Many homeowners do not realize that garage doors can be a statement piece all on their own. If you are planning a new build with a Gilbert garage door installation, or simply need to replace your current garage door, consider incorporating one (or more!) of these top garage door trends of 2020.

Wi-Fi & Smart Technology

Smart technology is quickly overtaking the homeowning world. From key fobs for your vehicle, to app-controlled thermostats in your home, to Wi-Fi door locks and garage door openers, modern technology has paved the way for amazing advancements for homeowners.

Garage door openers can be linked with Wi-Fi for easy control from an app on your phone, no matter where you are. This allows homeowners to have full control over convenience and security, to set a timer for garage doors to close at certain times of the day, and receive alarms and notifications when something is out of the ordinary. You can also set your garage lights to turn on or the door to open when you are within certain perimeters near your home.

Consider that a Wi-Fi controlled garage door allow you the freedom to head to work for the day instead of waiting at home for the Mesa garage door repair serviceman. He can simply call you when he arrives at your home, and you can press a button on your phone to allow him in and out of the garage or your home for repairs.

Insulated Doors

Insulated doors are growing in popularity due to the number of homeowners either turning their garage into a living space, a business space, or wanting a comfortable environment to work on projects inside their garage. Now picking out the correct insulation for what you want to do with your garage is very important. There is a range of insulation strength that is available, some you can potentially have installed in your existing door, other insulation you have to order the door with the insulation installed during manufacturing.

Bold Colors

Color trends change every year. Over the last several years, however, neutral colors are being edged out and replaced with bold, rich shades. Do not be afraid to try something new and totally different! Find a bold color that complements the rest of the exterior of your home, and double check that it is approved by your HOA.

Black is currently one of the leading color trends, but if black really isn’t your thing, go for a wood-look door. Step outside of your comfort zone, and you may be pleasantly surprised. Door manufacturers have come a long way to make steel doors that look like high-end wood doors, but last significantly longer and with less maintenance to keep your door looking great.

Natural Light

While any number of materials for your new garage door will create head-turning appeal, consider installing a full-view aluminum door. With straight, clean lines and a wide variety of options for tinted or frosted glass, you cannot go wrong with a full-view garage door. They let in quite a bit of natural light to open up and brighten the inside space, and are especially popular with small businesses, coffee shops, and restaurants.
