Top Garage Door Trends 2022

We’re now more than halfway through 2022, and it’s fair to say that the garage door industry has seen a whole host of popular garage door trends emerge.

If you’re considering having new garage doors installed, or simply wanting to give yours a refresh, then being aware of what’s currently popular is always worthwhile.

In this article, we’ll explain the best garage door trends of 2022, and how you can implement them to your home.   

Automatic Garage Doors

These days, manual garage doors are becoming less common at domestic properties. Instead, more people are selecting automatic garage doors. Operated via a remote, automatic doors are much more convenient particularly if you’re parking a vehicle inside. In the past, you’d have to hop out of your car to open the garage before parking, but now you can simply press a button and drive right on in.

The modern world is all about convenience, and as well as the ease of accessibility that automatic doors bring, the automatic roller garage doors we sell here at Rollerdor are great at saving and maximising space, too.   

Smart Technology

Staying on the theme of convenience, and smart technology has become a game-changer in the industry in recent years. As well as using a remote, you can also install garage doors that are controlled by an app on your phone. This means that they can be opened and closed wherever you are in the world, which can be hugely beneficial if you’re expecting deliveries while out and about. Wi-Fi opening systems can also be installed. 

Not only can smart technology help with your garage door’s convenience, but it can enhance your home’s security, too. This can include CCTV cameras that are linked to your garage, meaning you can keep an eye on your property at all times.      

Modern Materials

The way the industry has changed in recent years has seen a greater focus on longevity when it comes to garage doors. Consumers expect a product that will stand the test of time, and instead of using materials such as wood or steel, that require a lot of maintenance, fibreglass and PVC are becoming more commonplace thanks to their hardwearing nature. On top of this, these modern materials are also much easier to customise and come in a whole host of innovative designs. 

Aluminium also remains a popular choice. As well as being durable, aluminium garage doors are naturally resistant to corrosion and all of the roller garage doors that we sell are made from this material.   

Popular Colours

A bold garage door can leave a lasting impression, and these days people value the aesthetics of their doors just as much as its functionality. At the moment, anthracite grey is among one of the most popular colour trends for homeowners, thanks to the seamless way it blends in alongside brickwork. 

Darker colours work better than lighter tones thanks to the way they stand out, with many manufacturers focusing on black that was a big trend last year and has continued to be in 2021.
