For more comfort and safety when the sun is not shining.
Theoretically, it is light for a maximum of 4,500 hours per year in Germany. Conversely, this means that it is dark for at least 4,260 hours. Due to the often very poor visibility caused by the weather, even significantly longer. Many people don’t take this into account when renovating their garage. But you should!
Because garages are also used in the dark!
When planning a garage renovation or modernization, many people tend to imagine their garage in sunlight – and not at night, in rain, snow or fog. Especially in view of the current dark season, it is clear that this has little to do with the real conditions. It is cleverer to take into account the future use of the garage, especially in the dark, when planning the renovation – and to equip the garage with suitable features.

Besonders wichtig: Die optimale Aus- und Beleuchtung der Garage
Um gefährliche Situationen in der Dunkelheit zu vermeiden, ist eine Innen- und Außenbeleuchtung bei einer Garage extrem wichtig. Auch nachträglich können Elektroinstallationen wie Lichter von den ZAPF-Spezialisten innen und außen angebracht werden. Eine besonders stylische Alternative ist das Beleuchtungssystem ZAPF Doorlight. Das Lichtsystem wurde speziell für Beton-Fertiggaragen entwickelt und spendet im eleganten Design genau dort Licht, wo es benötigt wird. Das LED-Lichtband wird hinter der Laibung montiert. So strahlen die Lichter die Garage indirekt an und vermitteln ein modernes Ambiente. Besonders praktisch: ZAPF Doorlight ist über einen Handsender steuerbar. So können Sie ganz bequem aus dem Auto oder dem Wohnhaus die Lichter an der Garage an- und ausschalten.
With an electric garage door opener, you’ll never have to get out in the dark to open the door again
Our ZAPF experts recommend an electric garage door opener to increase convenience even further – especially in the dark and at low temperatures. The remote-controlled door opener can also be retrofitted to the garage and makes entering and exiting the garage much more convenient!
The door is controlled either by remote control or via an app on your own smartphone. However, the “ZAPF CONNECT” app can not only open and close the door – it can also be used to check whether the garage door is open or closed while on the move.
Tip: Don’t forget the connecting path to the garage when planning the renovation
The path to the house and the driveway to the garage should also be optimally lit so that you arrive safely in the dark. It therefore makes sense to install motion detectors between the house and garage. This way, the driveway and connecting path are automatically illuminated and you arrive home safely!
