Your garage door is often the first thing you see from the street, in fact on average a garage door makes up 30% of the facade of your house.
With some thought towards the design and style of your garage door, you can take your house to the next level. We offer a wide range of finishes and styles combined with new technology and automation, turning your garage door into an architectural feature you'll love coming home to.
In this post, we’re going to explore why investing in custom garage doors in Sydney is a smart choice.
Why choose a Custom Garage Door?
Installing a generic garage door or holding onto an outdated style can diminish the overall look of your property. In contrast, a thoughtfully selected garage door enhances your home’s appearance and creates harmony in your home. A custom garage door can greatly enhance your home's functionality with options like matching front doors and built-in wicket doors
KangarooGD’s range of custom garage doors can elevate a home’s exterior with materials, styles, and finishes that match all home design styles from Hamptons to Contemporary and everything in between.
Choosing the Right Custom Garage Door in Sydney
Consider Your Home’s Architecture
To choose a garage door that complements your home, first identify the architectural style you want to achieve. If you're exploring garage door styles, we assume you already have some ideas in mind. If not, we can help - see our range of custom options here.
Here’s a few questions to ask yourself, or you builder/architect:
Is your home going to have a modern, minimalist, or more traditional style?
Are you looking for something on trend, or that will stand the test of time?
Have you seen any specific doors around your neighbourhood (or on our website!) that you fancy?
Garage doors now come in such a wide variety of designs to suit different exterior styles.
For a sleek, modern look, Knotwood or Decowood battens can be a great choice. Made of aluminium with the appearance and texture of wood, Knotwood is weatherproof and durable, and is available in a range of finishes and colours - including the option for Dulux powdercoating.
Aluminium Composite (also known as Alumicomp®, Alucobond® or Alpolic®) is another sleek option for your custom garage door. With flexibility in the style and colour, it’s a great option.
We mentioned Wicket doors before - these are in-built pedestrian doors, available as part of our range of insulated Garage doors. Hormann garage doors by 4DDoors doors come in a range of colours including timber-look finish, are insulated, and have options for in-built pedestrian Wicket doors or matching front entry doors.
For a Hamptons style home, there is a wide range of Hamptons style garage doors to choose from. Allowing you to customise right down to the window shape and style.
Garage doors have evolved significantly from the standard Colorbond roller door. While these remain a good choice, a wide variety of materials, styles, and finishes are now available.

Functionality that Makes a Statement on your Custom Garage Doors in Sydney
While the way a garage door looks is such an important part of the decision, so is the functionality of the door. Taking into consideration the way you and your family will use the door now and in the future ensures you are investing for the long term.
We offer a range of high-quality door styles that not only add beauty but also functionality.
Some popular door choices include:
Hormann Side Sliding Sectional Door is the perfect option for the space conscious custom sydney home, these doors are great for maximising space in your garage, and they’ll make you the envy of your neighbours with their sleek appearance
Panellift and sectional doors are available in a variety of custom, Colorbond or powdercoated Dulux finishes. Paired with a strong motor, a sectional garage door is a popular choice for custom garage doors in Sydney.
Roller Shutters can be a great option when headroom is limited. So, if space saving is important, a powdercoated aluminium roller shutter could be a great choice! Roller Shutters are also a great option for garages exposed to the weather, as aluminium does not rust.
Tilt or counterweight doors are also available with a variety of options for cladding. Flush fit, or standard installation, a tilt door could be a great solution for your custom garage door.
KGD Tip: When selecting garage door styles, think of how and when you and your family will use the door. Will you use it as a main entrance? To secure your cars inside? Maybe a games’ room or for storage?
Customised Colours and Finishes
One of the best ways to enhance your garage door’s aesthetic is by selecting a customised colour or finish. You can tailor custom garage doors in Sydney to suit your vision, whether you want them to blend in or stand out.
Many manufacturers provide a wide selection of colours and finishes. Brands like Colorbond and Dulux ensure trendy options are available, making it easy to match your garage door to your home’s exterior.
KGD Tip: Need an automated or pedestrian gate too? Why not choose a custom option that can match? Matching Aluminium or Knotwood Batten pedestrian gates and custom garage doors - wow.
