Which type of garage door should I choose for my home?

Choosing a new garage door is a big decision. If you’ve never done it before, you may not have considered how many different options you have available. Helping you to determine your roller garage doors from your overhead garage doors, here is a brief overview of some of the types of garage doors that you could choose for your own home.

1.   Up and Over garage doors

This is the classic garage door that you are probably familiar with. It goes up and over into the garage in one piece and is an extremely popular, inexpensive choice for garage owners in the UK. We work with Wessex Garage Doors and Hormann Garage Doors as they provide high-quality overhead garage doors mounted on tracks that run across the ceiling of your garage and provide support to the door as it glides up and over and out of the way.

2.   Roller garage doors

Roller garage doors open vertically. However, rather than going back into the space like the Up and Over, these roller garage doors curl up into a roll above the garage door opening. The roller garage door is about as flexible as you can get as it can be fitted inside, outside, or between the garage opening.

3.   Sectional garage doors

The sectional garage door is a more complex door. This overhead garage door is built in panel sections that open by sliding upwards and then curve back into the garage using horizontal rails. These doors are a great space-saving option compared to other overhead garage doors. We work with Wessex Garage Doors and Hormann Garage Doors to offer the ultimate practicality in sectional garage doors.

4.   Swing garage doors

For a more classic overhead garage door option, the swing garage door opens like the traditional barn door. It’s the perfect option for those who prefer a more period style type of garage door and is also great for garages that need regular pedestrian access.

5.   Round-the-Corner garage doors

The Round-the-Corner Door is a cross between the sectional garage door and the roller garage door. It slides off to one side and along an inside wall . It’s ideal for those garage owners who want a door that gives easy pedestrian access or need a garage door that will only open partially. Another bonus of the Round-the-Corner garage door is that it does not need too much headroom – unlike some of the overhead garage doors above – so it’s a great choice for lower buildings.
