There are many benefits to converting your existing garage door to automatic, a few of which are shown below. For a quote on automating your existing garage door, please don't hesitate to contact us. If you haven't got an automatic garage door, then here's a thought - imagine how hard a car was to steer or park before the days of power steering? As a piece of proven technology, automated garage doors often mirror the benefits of now-standard vehicle features, such as power steering, remote central locking and ABS.
A Side-Hinge garage door is a very basic and traditional style of garage door that can be manufactured in timber, GRP (a tough, weather-resistant plastic material, re-inforced by glass fibres) or steel. Side-Hinge is an ideal choice if there's not enough clearance inside your garage to allow for an up-and-over garage door type such as a canopy or retractable. Side hinge doors open outwards, with the pivotal point at one end of the door, attached to the frame. They need a lot of clearance when they're being opened, so they're not too great if you have a very short driveway, or if your garage opens directly onto the street or a public area.
When the days and nights are wet and cold, you want quick, easy and dry access to your garage. A roller garage door is comprised of a single curtain of steel or aluminium made up of dozens of interlocking sections. The entire garage door rises vertically upwards, rolling upon itself. If your preference is a roller garage door, contact us today for an appraisal or check our brochures page to help decide. The space into which the door rolls fits to the rear surface of the front brickwork of your garage - as such, this door type needs a small amount of clear brickwork to the sides, and between 205mm and 450mm of ceiling clearance above the underside of the lintel.
Tough, stylish, secure and fully weather-sealed, Sectional garage doors are arguably the outstanding garage door product made today. Made of four separate interlocking horizontally-hinged panels, manufactured to a high standard in either steel or timber, the door generally fits to the rear surface of the front brickwork of your garage. Only a small amount of space is required to the sides and top of the garage opening for fitting the side tracks. The entire garage door rises upwards in a straight vertical line, each section pivoting backwards when it reaches the top to slide above head height.
