Garage doors and their features

Garage doors serve not just as a functional entry to your home but also play a crucial role in its overall aesthetic appeal. The choice of a garage door is vital in the construction or renovation of a home, with sectional garage doors being a popular choice for their blend of style, functionality, and quality. These doors are known for their space-saving design, enhancing the building's facade without compromising entrance width or appearance.

A standout feature of sectional garage doors is their exceptional thermal insulation. This characteristic is crucial for energy conservation within the home, especially in modern, energy-efficient constructions. The insulated panels used in these doors are sealed to prevent drafts, significantly reducing heat loss during colder months and contributing to the building's overall energy efficiency. This insulation not only saves energy but also provides acoustic benefits, particularly beneficial for homes near busy areas.

Functionality and safety

The functionality of roller sectional garage doors extends beyond their insulation benefits. Their design, which tucks away inside the garage, keeps the exterior appearance sleek and uncluttered. The vertical operation of these doors does not encroach upon driveway space, making them ideal for homes with short driveways. Additionally, the flexibility in design allows for a variety of shapes, including arched lintels, catering to different architectural requirements.

Safety and ease of use are paramount in the design of sectional garage doors. Equipped with electric drives for remote operation, these doors offer smooth, quiet, and convenient access. Safety features include protections against finger entrapment and fail-safes for cable breaks, ensuring the door remains secure even in the event of component failure. Moreover, these doors enhance home security by providing robust resistance against unauthorized entry.

Additional information

How to measure

It is best to entrust the measurement of the garage door to a renovation team (in a ready house) or construction team (if the door is being installed in a house under construction). There are also ready-made garage doors available that have a specified dimension.

How to choose a colour

The colour of the garage door is matched to the colour of the building's facade. The entrance to the garage, and thus the door, is located at the front of the building; it is very visible from the outside. Therefore, it is worth ensuring that it blends nicely with the appearance of the entire building.

How to install

Like its measurement, the installation of the garage door should be entrusted to specialists. The structure is fitted on the inside of the garage, and the curtain is raised vertically. The garage door is used frequently, so it must be safe and functional. Therefore, professional installation is crucial.

How to clean

The garage door does not require special cleaning treatments. It can be done while cleaning the facade.
