Choosing Garage Doors
Choosing garage doors has been important for homeowners since the invention of motorcars. Your garage door is the last and first thing you see when you leave or return home. It is also the first thing people see when they come to visit. Let’s face it, great garage doors can give your home some serious curb appeal. If you are like many others, you may not even notice your garage doors anymore. Taking a closer look could help you decide if you want to revamp your old doors or buy new ones. Options are endless and there are many aspects to take into consideration when choosing garage doors. The right garage doors can complement your home and even your garden. Garage doors should never be an afterthought as they can increase the value of your property.
The Look
You don’t want your garage door to give the wrong impression about your style or your priorities as a homeowner. The look of a garage door that is rusted, falling apart or unvarnished looks awful. However, upgrading a garage door that compliments your home is not as simple as it sounds. There are a lot of factors to consider like, design type, style, materials and of course automation. Garage styles can be found in aluminium, wood, glass and steel – all with their own unique look.
Return on Investment
Garage doors should never be an afterthought as they can increase the value of your property. It’s a common fact that home improvement adds value. This may only materialise when it’s time to sell, but for many homeowners, that’s the point. All garage doors require annual maintenance to keep them looking good and running smoothly. Maintaining the look of your garage doors is vital when re-selling is on the table.
Security
Garage door security is important for all South African homeowners. Choosing a garage door with extra security elements is a great idea when you decide to upgrade yours. Make sure you have motion sensors installed inside your garage, as in most cases your garage door leads to a door that allows entrance into your home.
