Established installers of garage doors in Long Eaton and surrounding areas, Chatsworth Garage Doors offer reliable advice to homeowners throughout the county.
Replacing your garage door isn’t just about picking a style you like – there are several practical aspects to consider to ensure it’s the right fit for your property. At Chatsworth Garage Doors, we’ve spent years advising homeowners across the North Midlnds on selecting the ideal garage door. Here’s a summary of our most important guidance.
To start with, don’t assume that a door with the same dimensions as your old one will fit in exactly the same way. The frame type makes a big difference. Steel frames, for instance, tend to be wider than timber ones and could narrow your drive-through space. Similarly, the position of the door – whether it sits within or behind the opening – can affect the available width, height, and even internal garage depth. Always check these details before making a final decision. Our experienced team will be happy to walk you through all these considerations, ensuring there are no surprises on installation day.
Many garage doors in Long Eaton are used as temporary storage space for household items. However, even if you’re not currently parking a car in your garage, it’s worth checking that future vehicles will fit through the opening. If you’re thinking of changing cars, it’s wise to measure up and doublecheck compatibility. Where space is tight, we can recommend solutions like adjusting gear positions on retractable garage doors – to maximise clearance and avoid mirror damage.
Insulation is another key factor. A well-built garage with level floors and square walls will benefit most from insulated doors, which can help with energy efficiency and comfort. But if your garage is a little uneven, we’ll assess it and advise you on what insulation level you can realistically expect.
For those opting for garage door automation, we offer a wide range of access options – from remote controls to keypads. And don’t worry – we’ll show you how to open the door manually too, just in case of a power cut.
Every home is unique. That’s why at Chatsworth Garage Doors, we offer tailored advice and high-quality fittings that stand the test of time. Speak to us today – we’re the trusted team for all things garage doors in Long Eaton.
