Garage Door Buying Guide

Garage doors can have a significant effect on your garage and there's a couple of aspects to consider before you decide which types of garage doors uk are right for you.

Limited Headroom
The type of garage door you choose can impact the available ceiling height. Sectional and roller garage doors are a great choice, as they operate vertically, allowing for more headroom compared to doors that swing outward.

Clear and Unrestricted Space
It's not just the space inside you need to consider but the space outside too. Because sectional and roller doors open vertically, it means that the space immediately in front of the garage remains clear. This is especially valuable in a driveway with limited space or if you need to park an additional car in close proximity to the garage door.

Garage doors serve as a shield against various weather conditions. They protect your vehicles from rain, snow, hail, and extreme sunlight, preventing potential damage and prolonging their lifespan. A garage door also keeps out dust, debris, and pests, maintaining a clean and safe environment inside the garage.

Many garage doors today are designed with insulation features that help regulate the temperature inside the garage. These insulated doors prevent heat loss during winter and heat gain during summer, contributing to energy efficiency and reducing heating and cooling costs. Insulated garage doors also help create a more comfortable environment for working or spending time in the garage - ideal if the function of your garage is something other than where you put your car.

Insulated garage doors not only provide thermal insulation but also act as a sound barrier. They help reduce noise from outside sources, such as traffic or neighbours, ensuring a quieter and more peaceful environment both inside the garage and to adjacent living spaces - again an important consideration if your garage space is multi-functional.

Garage doors offer ease of operation, and are usually operated via a simple push of a button on a remote control to open and close the garage door when you're inside the garage, or via a simple programmed box on the interior wall, and with a keyring fob while inside your vehicle for remote door opening. Most doors also feature a back-up to manually open the door should the power fail for any reason.
