APPEALING CONTEMPORARY HOUSES

Over time, we have seen myriad architectural styles and aesthetics emerge. The blending of various elements, such as materials, accessories, lighting, and exterior doors, creates a multitude of possibilities that make contemporary houses like the celebrated Modern Farmhouse so appealing.

Since your garage door covers up to 45% of the facade of your house, you should take the time to choose the garage door that will perfectly match the architectural style of your home. Written in collaboration with Dessins Drummond, this article will hopefully enlighten your choice by presenting 6 garage door options to enhance your contemporary house.


A SUNNY HOME

Natural light is one of the signature characteristics of modern architecture. That is why Garex’s Panoramic garage door works so well with this aesthetic. Entirely covered in windows, this full view garage door allows the outside light to flood in and brighten up your space. Moreover, it can successfully combine style and function by standing in as a division between rooms inside your home, such as between the living room and solarium. Furthermore, you can customize the Panoramic door by choosing its color, its grid style, and the type of glass. Whether you prefer clear, tinted, frosted, or opaque glass, you will assuredly find the one that perfectly matches your home. The Panoramic is available in white, black, and anodized gray. The sheer number of combinations and possibilities will allow you to create a garage door that is just as unique as your contemporary house.

The Urban door displays a sophisticated blend of wood grain texture and two thin molded ridges near the top and bottom of each panel. For a more elaborate design, the Urban MR door exhibits five ridges arranged on each panel, a feature that gives the illusion of a broader garage door. Manufactured from 26-gauge galvanized steel or 23-gauge aluminum, both door designs are available with an R-12 or R-16 thermal resistance value. Adding large windows to these doors is also a popular option among customers.

THE MODERN FARMHOUSE

The modern country style house, also called the Modern Farmhouse, has been gaining popularity in Canada in recent years. This architectural style is an artful fusion of modern-chic and rustic elegance, reached by means of harmoniously integrating multiple contrasting elements from both aesthetics.

The country-style doors featured in the Seigneurie Collection by Garex are easy to customize to coordinate with a contemporary house. Characterized by intersecting overlaid boards, this collection has nine doors that complement the Modern Farmhouse look. Modernizing a country door is easy to do by opting for a solid color that matches the siding and adding large windows.
