What Will Garages Look Like In 2030?

Ever wonder how garages will evolve in 20 years? Right now, the transition is happening. As we move into 2013, two industries have had a significant impact on almost every other industry across the board. Computer and Environmental Technologies have created a revolution and impacted affected industries across the board significantly over the past 10 to 20 years..... and they're still in their infancy with vast improvements introduced yearly. Here's some areas where we've seen these technologies impact the garage industry.

Your Phone Will Be Your New Garage Door Opener Remote

Wireless home networks have been in use for awhile now inside the home but as they apply to garages it's still a whole new turf. Mobile applications are becoming prevalent with the increased use of smartphones and tablets and will soon replace the garage door opener remote as we know it today. With the touch of a button and eventually even by voice activation, you will be able to send a variety of commands from any distance to your home. Through a series of Ethernet cords and radio transmitters, a new technology is on it's way that allows you to rapidly enter garage through one tap on your phone that will include additional safety and convenience benefits as well. One less device to carry with you or in your vehicle.

Recycle, Reuse - Who Will Know The Difference?

More and more manufacturers are starting to use recycled materials for the construction of garages. They are finding that recycled woods, metals and glass doors and can actually save them money and thus save the consumer money in the end. They're finding the materials just as reliable as other materials currently used in manufacturing garage doors and finding the recycled materials more readily available, more reliable than in the past and reasonable in cost. Refurbished garage door opener parts will be more readily available and cost effective as well.

This is just the tip of the iceberg with these industries who have yet to discover the plethora of possibilities for the future of garage doors. There is so much more to come as creative inventors and developers plunge into territories not yet explored in these industries. Their abilities are only limited by our imaginations.
