Sectional Doors
These doors give you the max drive in width and height you could hope to gain in your garage. Great for small drives and parking right up to the door. Probably one of the top secure and robust garage doors on the market. Coming in manual or auto. Great protection from English weather with sealing around each panels and around the door frame. These hinged panels separate horizontally, and are installed inside of the brickwork of the front of your garage. Very easy to operate with a gradual opening start. These doors also can come with the reversing safety feature.
Up & Over Doors
These are your traditional garage doors that the majority of people have due to them being the cheapest. They come in a large range of colours, design,s materials. Wood, steel, plastic. etc. The gearing of these doors come with the option to be automated. As there is no hardware inside these doors they are space saving canopy doors. These doors open and swing outward so you have to be careful how you park your vehicle from the door. This is where you want to think about whether a roller door may be better for you if you can afford it. Also available in pre-framed versions.
Side Doors
A great addition to your garage door is a side door. These save you from the sometimes off-putting effort of having to open the whole garage door to just pop back inside for some reason. They are very practical and fun too. You can get these doors to match your existing or new garage door. You have to think about how big your garage is and how much room you have. Obviously you can use this space on the inside of the garage when there is a side door there.
So there you go! That’s just some of the garage door options you have.
