We depend on our garage doors to work fluidly and reliably.
However, there are many types of garage doors on the market, and picking the right one can be challenging.
Garage doors have come a long way since the traditional up-and-over doors that once dominated garages. Modern alternatives are more practical, reliable, secure and aesthetically pleasing.
This is a guide to the different types of garage doors.
Some double garages come with two single doors. This isn’t particularly convenient, as it means squeezing a car through a singular door when you might have internal space to spare.
Plus, having two doors means double the mechanisms that can go wrong.
The solution? Convert to a 2-in-1 garage door. This involves removing the central pier and replacing it with an RSJ beam for support. The single doors are replaced with a high-quality double door, making parking a breeze.
Sectional garage doors are built from several panels that slide up and overhead when opened.
This design maximises space both inside and outside the garage.
In addition, the action is smoother, easier to operate than conventional garage doors, and looks superb from the outside.
Sectional doors provide excellent insulation and security and are available in a wide range of materials, styles, and colours to match your home. Skandoor’s ultra-high-quality sectional doors are electronically operated, but also feature manual overrides in case of power failure.
In principle, roller doors are similar to sectional garage doors. However, instead of rising up and over like traditional garage doors, they roll up into a compartment, saving space. They’re smooth and easy to operate, too.
Roller garage doors are perfect for those seeking a compact solution. Skandoor’s roller garage doors are electronically operated via two remotes with manual overrides in case of power failure.
A side-hinged door might be an excellent option if a garage lacks the headroom for roller or sectional doors.
These are traditional swing-open doors that resemble barn doors. They are perfect for those who prefer a classic look and require easy access to their garage without opening the entire door.
Skandoor’s superb side-hinged doors are classy and practical, with 50/50 and 75/25 divisions. They’re perfect for garages that require partial access.
Skandoor’s UK-manufactured doors are practical, reliable and visually stunning.
