Smart Technology Integration

With innovation and technology being a grand part of the modern world we live in, customers are always searching for the latest gadget or tech-addition to their homes.

Smart Technology Integration is becoming ever so popular with things like media walls, smart lighting, smart appliances and more.

This trend has now filtered into customising garages as well. It tends to come on a more functional basis with garages and garage doors with advanced automation, remote monitoring, and seamless connectivity with voice-controlled virtual assistants as well as more.

In essence this makes opening and closing your garage doors so much easier with faultless effort.

Energy Efficiency and Sustainability

The widespread concern for the environment and being more eco-friendly is something that we’re chuffed to see here at Garage Door Secure. The trend, which we hope is here to stay, is also present with garage doors too.

For example, you can get a garage door made from recycled materials. You can get garage doors with exceptional levels of insulation making for better energy efficiency. The insulation will keep heat in for longer, so in colder months there won’t be as much need for the heating to be on which saves you money on utility bills and is more sustainable.

Manufacturers of garage doors are also trying to consider their carbon footprint more these days through their methods used and logistical plans. If you wanted to take an extra eco-friendly step, you could get a garage door equipped with solar panels, allowing you to harness the power of the sun to meet energy needs. This is an investment at first but soon reaps rewards.

Customisation

In the battle to have the most unique home and garage, customisation is a trend that keeps getting more extravagant year on year, but we love the creativity!

Homeowners will have an array of customisation options available, from colours and finishes to innovative designs and textures.

The garage door will no longer be a mere functional element but a canvas for personal expression. Combining aesthetic with functionality, garage doors are cooler than ever before!

Security Measures

Safety and security has remained a top priority for home and building owners since forever. With the advancement of technology in this area, the trend has started to adopt these more widely.

Biometric access controls, smart cameras, and enhanced locking mechanisms are examples of security measures that are integrated to provide a heightened level of protection. 

Bold Designs and Aesthetics

In the past, garage doors were quite simplistic in the way they looked. There was a limited amount of styles and colours and offers so people settled for those. As time has gone on, the desire for bolder designs has grown and so brands have had to adhere to this by creating a much more diverse portfolio of products.

We foresee this trend to continue with patterns, wilder colours and alternative materials coming on the horizon.

Space-Saving Solutions

In 2024 we expect to see the popularity of space saving solutions to rise. As the cost of living increases, people are always looking for products and ways to live more efficiently. Being able to use more space in your garage as storage is what people want and having garage doors that work with this trend will only become more desirable.

So, there you have it – some garage door trends and predictions for 2024. One of the overarching themes in this blog is the need and want for the latest technology as it aids all sorts of functions such as safety, security, functionality and more.

On the other hand, aesthetics are equally important in the eye of the customer which is why more colours, designs, finishes and materials are being released to the market. Keep an eye out for these trends, as they are sure to shape the future of garage doors in the coming year and beyond.
