Add Smart Tools

We’ve been impressed recently with the range of smart tools available for garages. These include parking mats, which guide your automobile into the correct parking position by providing a place for your tyres to sit, wireless air inflators which automatically fill your tyres to the perfect pressure, and smart lighting solutions for your garage which can be set to a schedule or controlled by an app.

Control Temperature Wirelessly

A smart thermostat is a great addition to any garage, allowing you to keep your garage cool in the summer and warm in the winter without using any more energy than you need to. There are several great models on the market, which you can set to automatically control temperature via an app on your phone.

Make Storage Smart

A host of great new products allows you to make the most of your space in your garage, by lifting items up to various heights. These include a bike lifter which means you can store your bike suspended from the ceiling via a hoist, to a platform lifter that can store heavy items at a range of levels and can be controlled with Bluetooth. These amazing gadgets will allow you to get more from your garage.

Make your home security smart, with wirelessly controlled garage doors that you can open or close remotely, and set to automatically lock or unlock at certain times and in certain situations.

It’s important to remove garage door rust as soon as possible to prevent further damage. In this post, you will find some useful tips from the experts at Impact Garage Doors, leading providers of the best garage door repairs in Wollongong.

Best Substances for Removing Rust

A spoonful of baking soda in a cup of vinegar dissolves the rust on the door, allowing it to be easily removed. Scrub it away with a steel-wool pad soaked in this solution. You may have to scrub hard before you see any effects, but they will come.

Similarly, a spoonful of citric acid and half a cup of water can be combined to make an inexpensive rust removal solution. To eliminate rust, use a steel-wool pad, cloth, or soft-toothed brush immersed in this solution. This will also need some cleaning to ensure that all of the rust is removed.

After Removing Rust

After removing the initial rust from your garage door, it’s important to sand it down and clean it thoroughly to create a surface that you can either paint, repair or protect using a primer corrosion inhibitor. This will ensure the rust does not come back, providing you maintain the door properly. If you have a timber look garage door, you may need a professional team to restore the timber appearance.
