Garage Doors to Compliment Outdoor Patios

By Jim Hatley, May 12, 2021

Have you ever considered using garage doors to compliment outdoor patios? This is a growing trend in design and décor. Custom garage doors are becoming the smart way to allow the outdoors in and to partition space in outdoor entertainment areas in line with your home’s architectural style.


The New, Multipurpose Role of Garage Doors

No longer are garage doors simply the access point to where your vehicle and tools are stored, but – thanks to intelligent and aesthetically pleasing design – they are now being introduced as the ideal way to open your home to your outdoor space or even create an outdoor area for entertaining and relaxing that can be fully enclosed for year-round usage. You can go from patio to sunroom with the touch of a button.


Custom Garage Door Designs

When designing a fluid, dynamic entertainment area, one of your most important decisions is how you connect the indoor and outdoor spaces. This connection will determine the flow of your entire space and make the difference between feeling like you’re exiting a house to the backyard or moving through a seamless and cohesive space.


As design principles tell us, the bigger the opening, the better the transition. While French doors or sliding doors may have cut it in the 80s, our current lifestyles demand more. The way we have embraced outdoor entertainment has forced us to rethink design to bring the outdoors inside. Using a full-view aluminum glass garage door will achieve that seamless look and feel.


There are many benefits for using garage doors to compliment outdoor patios and outdoor entertainment areas. One of the advantages is that it saves space. Realtors have stated that roll-up glass garage doors definitely have a huge dose of the cool factor, but when asked how they will affect a home’s resale value, the responses are very encouraging. Many real estate agents agreed that this trend is really taking hold in high end homes. This implies that a stylish garage door installation used to integrate your indoor and outdoor spaces or to enclose and weather-proof your patio can be a huge selling point, especially if you have a view or a beautiful garden.


There’s no doubt that glass garage doors increase the value of a home, and they are steadily growing in popularity. These doors offer an interesting and ergonomically intelligent alternative to folding or sliding doors, with another advantage being the ease of use. Many patio doors tend to be heavy or difficult to use, whereas a garage door is opened or shut with the touch of a button.


New Garage Doors for the Future

The time to renovate your patio is now. If the past year at home has taught us anything, it has been that our homes need to be multifunctional. Creating spaces in the home that can transform and take on a new purpose is a trend that is here to stay. Isn’t it time to transform that patio into something breathtakingly beautiful by using garage doors? Create a space that your family and friends can use all year round to make memories that will last a lifetime.
