2022 Garage Door Trends

Column

Homeowners across America have always favored style over function. It is only natural that homeowners would start to love their garages just as much as they do their homes. In the past, garages were just a big storage space that every homeowner had to have for their vehicle to have a safe place to stay at night or during bad weather conditions. However, times are changing and it is evident by looking at how homeowners' preferences are changing as well. Here’s what homeowners can expect from garages in 2022.

Metallic finishes are trending

Over the years, garage doors have become more stylish and decorative. Homes have different designs, so it only makes sense that homeowners would want their garages to resemble their house's design. Homeowners are choosing garage doors with metallic finishes because they look classy and upscale compared to the color choices of years past.

Wood-paneled garage doors are trending

More homeowners are looking into installing a wood-paneled garage door. Wood-paneled garage doors are a great way of adding rustic charm to a home's exterior design. Unlike aluminum garage doors, which require constant maintenance and must be painted from time to time, wood-paneled garage doors do not have this issue because they do not have an exterior finish that is prone to chipping or peeling. This is ideal for homeowners who live in wet, humid climates.

There is an emergence of bi-folding doors

In addition to wood-paneled garage doors and metallic finishes, there is an emerging trend of installing bi-folding garage doors. These are a great alternative for homeowners who want the functionality of a traditional swing-up garage door but do not have enough space on their driveway for one. These doors are located on the side of the garage (typically the left-hand side) and do not swing up, but rather slide to open like a pocket door or bifold closet doors.

These doors are installed with tracks on either side of them, making it easy for homeowners to keep their garage organized at all times.

Fiberglass garage doors are the new norm in 2022. They last longer and do not require maintenance, making them a great investment for homeowners.

Fiberglass garage doors are the new norm in 2022

In 2022, homeowners can expect to see more fiberglass garage doors as well as wood-paneled and metallic finished garage doors on homes across America. Homeowners will also be seeing more bi-folding garage doors, which means they will be able to park their car in the garage and keep the driveway open for other vehicles or guests.

As you can see, garages are evolving in 2022 and homeowners can expect many trends in garage doors. It is only natural that the once-neglected garage would start to become just as important as the home itself. You can expect more decorative garage doors with metallic finishes or natural wood panels on them. If you are looking to install a new garage door in 2022, you can expect fiberglass doors to be the trend for years to come. Of course, always consider what will complement your home best!
