subject: Roll Up Garage Door: Helping You Save Space Big Time [print this page] With the growing population rate that we have nowadays, we could not blame that in the world of real estate, space is becoming less and less. The real estate people would prefer to have vertical instead of horizontal just to maximize the use of the space.
If you could notice, the high density apartments and tenements have been on the rise and there is a premium on single detached housing units, even if your house is situated just outside the city. Nowadays, garages have become integrated in most homes. Back then, garages have their own space detached from the house and roll up garage doors were the norm but right now, a garage is already part of the housing unit, especially in town homes plus people find practicality in the usage of roll up garage door. These days, roll up garage doors also have the same color scheme as the home. There are types of roll up garage door to choose from. You could try the one with light weight composite materials which could be maintenance-free as compared to aluminum ones. Such materials are also dent-free and sure saves space.
Japan, specifically Tokyo, is known to have one of the densest cities in the world with a premium on property. Their cars are carefully designed to fit into their one-car garage which is just enough for the driver to alight using the sliding door or the passenger's side if not the trunk of their van. The following car brands are some of the examples: Toyota Previa (Japan's version of Lucida) and Mitsubishi Delica.
In other places, people would convert their garages into rooms which could be rented and it's a good idea for having extra money. For example, in Sydney, Australia, in their city suburbs, renovations among garages are common and insulating them, putting up toilets and showers and also having a spare room or two for lease. People who live in Sydney are originally from other places in Australia or even from other countries and so instead of renting a very expensive unit, they just go for converted garages in the suburbs since it could come cheap. This is actually a trend in those areas as it would not just save off space but also it allows house owners to earn more money. Most importantly, it helps other people (the renter) in saving since converted garages could be convenient on their budget.
