Automated garage doors are an increasingly popular choice for homeowners. Offering convenience, security, and attractive aesthetics, these modern garage door installations suit every style of home.
If you’re thinking about investing in new doors for an existing garage, or you’ve recently moved, and you’re interested in a garage door upgrade, here’s a handy guide to help you narrow down the options.
What is an automated garage door?
An automated garage door, also known as an automatic garage door, is a door that can be opened at the touch of a button. If you’re driving home, for example, you can gain access to your garage as you pull into the driveway by pressing a button on your remote control.
Automated garage doors can also be operated by keypads on the side of the garage or inside the home. This type of door offers an alternative to manual garage doors.
Automated garage door types
It is possible to automate almost every type of garage door design. The most popular kinds of automated garage doors include:
- Roller garage doors: roller doors open vertically using tracks along the side of the opening. Once they reach the top, the doors roll up, saving space in the garage.
- Sectional doors: sectional doors comprise a series of panels, and they open vertically before sliding backwards into the garage on rails.
How much do automated garage doors cost?
The cost of automated garage doors depends on several factors, including the type of door, the materials used, and the size of the door.
