GARAGE DOOR EXPLORATION

Both homes and garages are now being considered to create modern retail spaces. Retail shop doors usually require a great deal of space that should preferably be used for merchandise and potential clients. A garage door can slide up, remain up, and out of the way during business hours.  

The opposite is actually taking place as well. Stock and storage spaces with garage type doors are being renovated into residences. Some home designers have also started using glass garage doors to divide living areas in homes and provide a touch of classy elegance.

Another lucrative endeavor some individuals have turned to is garage space renovation to supplement income through renters. Still others have been turning the garage space into massive, beautiful kitchens.
