Up & over garage doors open upward with a swing out action. Once open, approximately one third of the door protrudes externally; hence the word " canopy". Door styles are available in ABS plastic, timber, steel & GRP. Unlike retractable or sectional doors, the spring is situated overhead with no tracks protruding into the garage space.
Sectional garage doors are growing in popularity and are the preferred choice for the discerning home owner.This type of door, which has no swing out or arc travel comes fully sealed and is generally supplied insulated, thus making them the ideal choice if the garage is to be converted to a function room. Furthermore, if a bedroom is situated directly above the garage, significant savings can be made on your heating costs over a period of time. Sectional doors are available in several styles. They are ideal for electric operation.
Roller doors, available as a single skin or more commonly insulated, are growing in popularity. The door opens vertically rather than opening outward, thus allowing the car to be parked right up to the garage door; ideal for short driveways. Roller doors are an ideal choice when the garage has an obstruction; for example, a down pipe or ackwardly placed gas or electric metre which commonly prevents the use of up & over or sectional doors. Roller doors are available in many standard colours and several woodgrain finishes. Once again, if a bedroom is situated above the garage or the garage is integral to the house, then significant savings can be made to your heating costs. Insulated roller doors commonly come with automation built in as standard.
Side hinged garage doors are available in a variety of styles & finishes. Constructed from steel, ABS plastic, GRP & timber, there is a style to suit every home. Again side hinged is often specified when the garage has an obstruction. The doors are avaible split down the middle or two thirds across. With the two third one third option, the one third section creates a pedestrian entrance.
