As 2025 continues, there are several noticeable trends when it comes to installing a new garage door and keeping your current garage door up-to-date and well-functioning. BDC Door is here as your trusted residential and commercial garage door experts to ensure your garage doors are ready for the next 12 months ahead.

Garage Door Design Trends

Bolder Color Choices – While many businesses and homeowners still opt for traditional beige or other off-white garage door colors, others are going with bolder color choices that aren’t outright flashy. An article in Men’s Journal’s style section observed this trend, noting, “Overall, the trend in colors emphasizes versatility, individuality, and integration with the home’s design.” The same could be said for commercial garage doors, too. Some color choices the Men’s Journal article points out include “earthy hues” like olive green or terracotta, as well as faux wood grain finishes that “emulate the warmth of real wood without the upkeep.” Navy blue and deep red, too, are typically used as accent colors in garage door designs.

Sustainable Materials – While bolder color choices take hold, the actual materials used to make garage doors have seen their own trend. Environmentally conscious business owners and homeowners more and more opt for garage door materials that come with smaller carbon footprints—materials like composite wood, recycled steel and aluminum, and fiberglass. SCS Standards provide a measure of the environmental impact of different materials to use as a reference.

Smart Technology Integration – Home owners and business owners have found many ways to integrate technology into their homes and businesses. Integrating their garage doors with these smart technology innovations will continue to play a big role in how garage doors are designed in 2025. Smart garage door openers, which allow individuals to control their garage doors using their smartphones, are one established practice. The ability to also control a garage door’s integrated LED lighting with an individual’s smartphone, as an innovative way to make a home or business stand out, is another trend that may take more root in 2025.

Garage Door Repair & Maintenance Trends

Regular Inspections – As garage door technology and designs become more and more complex, it has become increasingly important to regularly inspect a home or business’s garage door. Additional components required for upgrades like LED lighting or smart technology integrated automatic openers mean more potential for breaks and, in turn, a need for more regular upkeep.

Professional Maintenance – Similarly, more complicated garage door technology and design means it’s increasingly difficult to manage your repairs and maintenance at home or at your business. That’s why it’s always important to rely on professional garage door technicians, like those at BDC door, when something happens with your garage door, or just when you think it’s time for a quick check-up.

Overall, whether it’s staying up to date on the latest design trends or ensuring your garage door remains in excellent working condition, BDC Door is your trusted garage door industry expert, from everything from residential installs to commercial operations.
