Why are garage doors worth selling?

Garage doors are an integral part of building a house. Their choice affects its character and appearance. Therefore, choosing the right garage door for the remaining window and door joinery can be a challenge for the distributor. Why? We will try to explain this in our article.

As we mentioned at the beginning, garage doors – especially in new construction – become the showcase of the house. Therefore, it is not surprising that their popularity is high, and the season for them lasts practically all year round (Chart 1).

Standard or premium garage door – what do customers choose?

As it is popular to combine a garage with a residential part, when choosing a garage door, the important aspects are:

• appearance and aesthetics,
• thermal isolation,
• functionality,
• safety of use.

According to our data, it is the premium class, including garage doors with even better parameters and additional functions, that is more often chosen by customers on window4u (Chart 2). This is no surprise – after all, a functional garage door is an investment for years.

Conclusion? The choice of garage doors is not the simplest, especially when choosing their colors that match the window and door joinery. It often happens that windows and doors come from a different manufacturer, which means that their colors or veneers may differ significantly. That is why customers are more likely to choose companies that offer them a comprehensive offer – from windows and doors to garage doors from one manufacturer.

Thanks to this, they can be sure that their colors and veneers will not differ from each other.

What does this mean for you as a distributor? On one hand, the introduction of garage doors to the offer is an opportunity to increase revenues, but on the other – it is also a challenge due to various barriers that make it difficult to enter this segment of joinery.
