Many people choose to have an automated garage door or gate installation at their property because they enjoy the convenience that they offer. Being able to operate your door, gates and lighting at the touch of a button is one of the key selling points. However, another reason people opt to replace their existing door or gate is to improve the curb appeal of their property.
A property’s curb appeal refers to the attractiveness of the exterior of a residential property when viewed from the road. Many people go to great lengths to improve the curb appeal of their property and a 2009 article by The Telegraph newspaper suggested 10 things homeowners can do to improve the look of theirs, including:
- Painting their front door
- Improving the approach to their front door
- Sprucing up tired façade
Also on that list was to install an impressive entrance gate, with the article quoting Crispin Holborow of Savills estate agency as saying that an entrance gate “Is a must have for a country house”. He goes on to add “entrance gates should reflect the period of the house; wrought iron electric gates are in keeping with a new-build home, while a white-painted gate with simple stone pillars is better suited to a manor”.
At Automated Garage Doors and Gates we specialise in the installation of both timber and metal gates, with your installation incorporating automation where required.
Natural Timber Driveway Gates
As Mr Holborow suggests, timber driveway gates look great when installed for a period property. They provide a natural alternative to metal and over time will develop a character of their own as they age over time. Our timber gates are produced from both softwood and hardwood, with a range of customisation options available including logos, names and numbers.
Bespoke Built Metal Gates
If you would prefer something a little more grand and stately, you may wish to opt for one of our bespoke metal gates. When combined with our modern operating systems, a wrought iron gate will bring a blend of aesthetics and practicality to your home. What better way to create an impressive entrance to your property?
