Designing a custom garage door? With so many options forcustom garage doors now available (and with so many benefits), the days of purely functional metal or wood garage doors are long gone. In 2023, the trend is toward garage doors custom-made to add functionality, security, and curb appeal to your home or business.


Some of the following garage door trends offer insight into the exciting possibilities now available withcustom garage doors:


Sectional Doors


The first garage door trend we must highlight is sectional garage doors. These garage doors are made with stacked panels that roll up toward the interior ceiling when opened.


Sectional garage door panels can be made with any garage door material and various material combinations, such as wood or steel garage doors with windows in the panels. There are some exciting contemporary designs out there, including sectional garage doors made entirely of glass, or with framed full glass panels.


Sectional garage doors are on our 2023 garage door trend list, thanks to the design potential and what that could do for your home or shopfront. Sectional garage doors have other benefits of course. These include maximizing space (as they open upward), letting in natural light, and easy integration of smart systems and insulation. They are also very secure and offer many advances in customization.


Smart Tech


Smart technology is another garage door trend. The smart technology trend doesn’t only offer garage doors with app-controlled openers, it offersgarage door opener systems with the capacity for integration into other smart control installations and smart security systems. There are many safety, security, and convenience benefits to having tech-integrated garage doors, even if it’s just for remote opening and closing (and when we say ‘remote’, we mean – from anywhere in the world, via your phone).


Residential and commercial garage doors with smart garage door openers and with the capacity for integration with other smart systems are a hot trend in custom garage doors and garage door features in 2023.


Bold & Bright Colors


Another garage door trend is garage doors available in more materials and designs than ever before. In 2023, you have many more choices in the color of your garage doors. You can have your garage doors painted in any color you want, to fit with any exterior design theme. You can choose fully stained wood garage doors or painted faux woods, composites, fiberglass, aluminum, or steel garage doors. Add color on frames, panels, or solid doors - however, you want your garage door painted to achieve the look you want. The elevated curb appeal will add value to your home or business.


Sustainable Design


Custom garage doors are available in a range of materials, many of which offer environmentally-conscious choices for homeowners and businesses. However, it’s not only the materials that can add eco-engineering value to garage doors. Sustainable design is a garage door trend that focuses on or includes insulation for reduced energy use, garage doors made with sustainably-sourced or recycled material, and minimal use of raw materials.


Creative Spaces


Garage doors are no longer just for that ‘utility room’ in the house where you keep the cars, DIY tools, and boxes full of junk. Garage door trends in 2023 include garage doors that can be used to create all kinds of spaces. Garage doors with glass panels are ideal for any creative space that can benefit from extra light, such as a workshop or art studio.
