Many of our customers looking at garage doors in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Sheffield ask us about the pros and cons of the various types of double garage doors. Double doors are coveted by homeowners for their practicality as much as for their obvious prestige. They’re very convenient, as they improve garages’ usability, especially when installed by properly trained garage door specialists. Various types of double garage door are available, each of which boasts its unique benefits and attractions.
Sectional garage doors, for example, are comprised of horizontal panels which are hinged together. The door opens when these panels are raised, then moved horizontally along a set of tracks under the roof. Sectional garage doors are durable, as well as very secure. Sectional doors are easy to automate, and they’re the ideal garage doors to choose if you need a door to fit a garage opening that’s oddly shaped or an unusual size. We find that throughout Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Sheffield garage doors of this type are popular with those of our customers who need to maximise the usable space in their garage.
Like sectional doors, roller garage doors also consist of horizontal panels, but they roll upwards and around a drum just inside the garage entrance. Roller garage doors have a compact design, which means they save space. They’re robust, very secure, and easy to operate.
A side sliding garage door, as the name suggests, slides horizontally. When fully open, it sits out of the way, against the garage wall. Side sliding garage doors are a particularly good choice for low-ceilinged garages, or for those with unusual roof shapes. A useful feature for a double garage with a wide opening is that that side sliding doors can be opened just partially when you don’t need or want your garage door fully open. And in common with the other door types, they’re impressively secure.
