Getting the right garage door for your home can be a challenging task and it’s important to understand how each door type differs. Each door operates differently with different materials, styles and methods of opening and closing. To help you with this we have compiled this short guide to give you a clearer understanding of the most common types of Garage Doors.
Up & Over Doors
The most popular type of door on the UK market up and over doors are versatile, easy to use and available in a huge variety of designs & colours. Often made from steel or GRP and with high levels of security they offer excellent value for money.
Sectional Doors
Fast becoming one of the most popular options in the UK, these operate vertically in separated individual door panel sections. This makes them incredibly flexible and suitable for all shapes of garage openings. They also offer very good insulation thanks to the aluminium-based foam-filled laths and are extremely quiet during operation.
Roller Doors
Unlike Up and Over and Sectional doors which open back into the space above the garage opening, roller doors retract up and down into a neat roll above the door opening. They are extremely versatile and can be manual or automated. They are a great option for installations with limited headroom and have a massive range of sizes and colours available. There are even options which are glazed for extra natural light!
