Sectional Garage Doors

Sectional garage doors cater to diverse architectural styles, from modern to traditional, thanks to their designs, colours and textures. Ideal for buildings with limited headroom, narrow side clearance, or low lintels, they utilise side extension springs instead of torsion springs. Sectional garage doors consist of several horizontal panels that move up and down along tracks, providing a versatile and efficient entryway for your garage.
Here are the main advantages and disadvantages of choosing these types of garage doors:
Advantages

Panel Designs:
S-Ribbed – small, evenly spaced, horizontal ribs.
M-Ribbed – medium horizontal ribs, ideal for contemporary architecture.

Textures:
Woodgrain – Mimics the authentic look of wood.
Silkline Smooth – a sleek and contemporary finish.

Glazing Options:
Styles to maximise natural light and enhance aesthetics. Windows can be positioned horizontally or vertically for a truly bespoke design.
- Security: Equipped with an automatic locking mechanism and certified RC2 level burglary protection by the IFT Institute, providing peace of mind. The mechanism locks the door automatically and protects it from being opened by unauthorised persons.
- Superior Insulation: Features a stiff polyurethane foam core for optimal panel strength and enhanced thermal insulation. One of the main benefits of high density insulation, is that it reduces the cost of heating and cooling the garage space, something that is extremely useful in attached garages that feature direct access into the house.
Disadvantages
- Track System – A Sectional garage door uses a horizontal track system that can interrupt shelving and storage system inside your garage.
