Garage Doors

We supply and fit a wide range of garage door styles. We are very happy to discuss your exact needs with you so please contact us. If you'd like to see some of the styles and materials which we provide please see below:

Canopy Garage Doors

The door swings outwards as it opens and it then slides upwards into the ceiling of your garage leaving one-third of the door protruding outside the garage and taking up less room inside. You are unable to park too close to the garage door. Pivot points are located two-thirds of the way down the door, which helps improve the security of the door. Pre-framed versions are available. Canopy doors are the easiest to install as the entire door mounts to the door frame and no tracks are required inside the garage. The down side is that automating an canopy door is generally not recommended. Canopy doors are generally available in all materials: Steel, Timber, GRP and ABS. With this door type fitted you may have a fairly drafty garage although the drive though width will not be reduced beyond the door frame.

Sectional Doors

Sectional doors (made up of several separate horizontally hinged panels) fit to the rear surface of the front brickwork of your garage, and as such need a small amount of clear brickwork to the sides and top of your opening. The entire door rises vertically upwards and then backwards into the ceiling space. No door frame is required which increases the available drive-through width. Good security and good protection against the weather with sealing all around the door, doors with or without insulation are available. Sectional doors are generally manufactured in steel although some specialist timber versions are available. Easy to automate as any motor is suitable - a soft start/soft stop opener gives a real touch of class.

Roller Garage Doors

Roller doors are a single curtain that rolls up into your garage ceiling. They fit to the rear surface of the front brickwork of your garage, and as such need a small amount of clear brickwork to the sides and between 450 and 205mm ceiling clearance above the underside of the lintel. The entire door rises vertically upwards and then rolls up on a spindle in the ceiling space. No door frame is required which increases the available drive-through width. Good security and good protection against the weather with sealing all around the door, doors with or without insulation are available. Roller doors are either manufactured in Steel or Aluminium and are either single sheet or hinged slat. Manual and electric versions are available. Installation is straight-forward but two people may be required to lift the curtain onto the support brackets in the ceiling of your garage.
