contemporary garage doors

When it comes to garage doors, contemporary mainly refers to the most recent trends, to what’s in style right now. At the same time, we associate contemporary with sleek designs, stripped from anything unnecessary. Oftentimes, the meaning of the word ‘contemporary’ approaches the architectural genre of minimalism – no wonder flush garage doors are considered purely contemporary.

All things related to the style – from the color to the shape of the windows, define whether or not residential garage doors are contemporary or not. And while such features are incredibly important, there’s more than meets the eye.

What defines the contemporary garage door designs?

They are characterized by their sleek appearance, clean lines, the modern feel, the absence of the redundant, the lack of the superfluous. Affluence is present but in a mute way, making its statement through the solid color and the clean lines. No surprise contemporary garage door designs are so close to minimalism. Less is more applies here.

The main features of contemporary garage doors?

•   The color plays a major role in giving the effect of a contemporary garage door style. After all, the size of the garage door is so big that the color of the panel stands out. It must scream elegance and charm, but without extravagance. The colors are usually neutral and bold, something between blacks and greys. Yes, a natural wood garage door can be contemporary. It depends on the type of the timber and how it is engineered. Reclaimed wood would be an excellent material for contemporary garage doors.

•   Consistency and symmetry rule. If you have two single garage doors installed side by side, they must be the same. Windows running vertically on one side of the door should run vertically on the other side too – that’s if you want windows on both sides. The meaning is that alignment is vital.

•   If you can avoid hardware altogether, that’s better. The sleekest the more contemporary. If you need to have hardware, get contemporary styles – modern, industrial, sleek, minimal.

•   There’re no restrictions when it comes to the garage door material. But the door’s skin would make a difference. For instance, wood veneer doesn’t qualify as contemporary. Opaque glass garage doors, aluminum and glass panels, gray mahogany, black finish – these are the ways to achieve the contemporary style.

There’s more to contemporary garage doors than meets the eye

A contemporary garage door should follow the pace of the contemporary world – that’s the whole meaning of the word. Just like this style is a perfect match for contemporary homes, the garage door’s energy efficiency, speed, easy maintenance, strength, resistance are also parts of being contemporary.

We live fast lives, go all out to ensure safety for our family, focus on the environment, are obsessed with technology. A contemporary garage door should follow these steps. So, it’s not only about the appearance but also about having a smart garage door opener, the required safety and security features, the necessary insulation – all things that would make the garage door the means to a better life, the contemporary way.

The good news? There are multiple choices for all the above – anything from extraordinary garage door designs to modern openers to materials and colors to meet the looks of all contemporary homes.
