As homeowners look to improve both the functionality and visual appeal of their homes, sectional garage doors continue to be a popular choice. In 2024, trends in sectional garage doors offer various styles, materials, and colours to suit individual preferences. This article explores the key trends in sectional garage doors for the year, highlighting timber options, timber-look designs, a broad palette of COLORBOND colours, and other common materials.
Timber Sectional Doors
Timber sectional doors are a timeless choice, cherished for their natural beauty and flexibility in design. In 2025, interest in timber options is on the rise due to the demand for sustainable and eco-friendly materials. Modern timber doors boast enhanced durability and weather resistance—vital for Australia’s varied climates. Homeowners love the warmth and character that timber infuses into a home, while advanced finishing techniques enable styles ranging from traditional to contemporary.

Timber-look Sectional Doors
Prefer the appearance of timber without high maintenance? Consider Knotwood, a high-quality finish that replicates natural wood’s rich textures and grains. Knotwood sectional doors combine the visual allure of real wood with minimal upkeep, avoiding risks like warping or fading. This provides both beauty and practicality in a garage door design.


Garage Door Colours and COLORBOND
Colour remains a central aspect of sectional door design in 2024. A wide palette lets homeowners personalise their exterior and elevate their home’s look. B&D offers sectional doors in COLORBOND steel, known for outstanding corrosion resistance and long-lasting vibrancy. Soft neutrals, bold statement hues, and classic shades remain favourites, seamlessly blending with diverse architectural styles. Explore our range of colour options to find the perfect match.


Other Popular Sectional Door Materials
While timber and timber-look doors often steal the spotlight, other materials also feature prominently in 2024. These include metal finishes, glass-like acrylic, Weathertex cladding, and timber-look slats, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Enhanced Insulation and Energy Efficiency
As energy efficiency becomes a bigger priority, sectional doors now include improved insulation that regulates temperature and reduces energy expenses. This mirrors the wider focus on sustainable living and energy conservation. Insulated doors create a comfier home environment and enhance overall property efficiency.

Smart Features and Automation
Incorporating smart technology into sectional garage doors remains another important trend for 2024. Automation systems allow for remote operation via smartphones, adding convenience and safety. Home security is a major concern, inspiring B&D to develop Auto-Lock, a feature that locks your door automatically. These tech additions elevate user experience, making sectional doors more efficient and secure. For more on automation, check out our Smart Door Solutions.


Sustainable and Eco-friendly Options
Sustainability strongly influences sectional door selection. Many homeowners favour eco-friendly materials and manufacturing processes. Timber from responsibly managed forests, recyclable aluminium doors, and insulated models all help reduce environmental impact while offering reliable, long-lasting performance. For example, consider a Panelift Icon door equipped with Insul-Shield for both insulation and sleek style.
