Garage Doors

Garage doors provide both convenience and security to your property, whether that be domestic, commercial or industrial. Garage Doors come in an array of styles, materials, and mechanisms, catering to both aesthetic preferences and practical needs. Whether it's the modern appeal of sleek aluminium panels or the low-maintenance convenience of steel, garage doors offer a reflection of the homeowner's taste.

What are Garage Doors?

Garage doors are an essential component of any home with a garage. Over the years, Garage doors have evolved, offering a diverse range of types to suit various preferences and functional requirements. Let’s take a look at what some of these are and where each one can be used:

  • Roller Garage Doors - Roller garage doors coil up vertically and coil into a shutter box, ideal when you want to maximise your garage space. We do have a roller garage door that has a compact box and is ideal when headroom is limited. All the roller garage doors come as standard with Insulated Aluminium laths, Internal Manual Override and Remote Control operation with 2 Fobs and Safety Edge. Available in a range of standard colours and woodgrain finishes.
  • Sectional Garage Doors - Our sectional garage doors run on top tracks that run across the garage roof. We have a range of insulated panel designs, which are available in a wide range of colours and finishes. The sectional garage doors are available manually operated or electrically operated with remote control operation.
  • Security-Rated Garage Doors – Designed to provide an additional layer of protection to your home and its belongings, security-rated garage doors are made from high-strength materials to withstand forced entry. These types of garage doors have been tested and certified to meet specific security standards, meaning these doors can also help reduce insurance premiums.
