A recent article in Professional Door Dealer magazine outlined many of the key garage door improvements that have occurred over the past few years, including:
- Expanded Material Choices: customers are no longer limited to just a traditional wood door when trying achieve a stylish and sophisticated look, as doors are now available in a range of fiberglass and steel, allowing for a variety of rich colors and stains, large windows and decorative hardware.
- Insulation Enhancements: better-insulated garage doors help regulate garage temperature, as well as increases the door’s strength and durability, while reducing outside noise.
- Quieter Operation: belt-driven garage door openers help ensure much quieter functioning via smooth-start and soft-stop operation, helping substantially reduce the noise that is created by opening and closing.
- Battery Backup: power outages no longer pose a problem during periods of severe weather and power outages, as a class of garage door openers equipped with more efficient battery backup allow the garage door to remain fully functional when power to the house is out.
- Smartphone Interactivity: an array of products allow for a homeowner to seamlessly integrate lighting and other devices in their homes, through the garage door opener, which in turn is controlled from a smart phone or outside computer.
