Sectional garage doors are special kind of doors that are made by using a number of panels (usually 6 to 8), that are connected together and slide up when they are opened. There are a number of special details which distinguish them from other door types. Today, homeowners can find the exact type they want from a wide selection that exists in the market. For instance, there are various panel profiles, hardware and track, as well as specialised options that allow buyers to customise them to their specific requirements. The following are the top benefits of sectional garage doors.
Space saving
An additional passage width can actually make driving in and out of the garage a very simple task. This is actually a great advantage, especially for owners with large cars, off-road vehicles or different kind of vans. Moreover, a wide passage gives also the opportunity to homeowners to be able to park their cars quite easily. By using these kinds of garage doors people can save a lot of space in comparison to the usual monolithic ones. The way these new doors open means that they do no jut out at all when they are open and therefore they represent a great solution.
More secure
Security is one of the most important features when people try to choose a garage door for their home. Many thieves in the UK try to break into people’s homes through the garage. So, in case these doors are not very strong, thieves can easily break into homes. People need to remember also that old doors can be an easy access for thieves. Therefore, a well-secured garage door is a must for homeowners, especially for those who live in country areas. The owners can choose from a wide variety of doors in the markets, that offer fully integrated locking systems, in order to ensure maximum garage door security. Many of them can be fitted in garages with robust galvanised steel frames.
Reliable & Durable
One great benefit of sectional doors is that they can be very durable and reliable for many years. This is mainly because each of their panels has its own connection to the main garage door track. They are better secured when people open and close their garage doors many times in a day. Moreover, the homeowners can repair only one panel, in case they have to, without having to repair the whole garage door and therefore they can spend less money. In addition, sectional doors are a greater option than the standard ones, that open outwards and upwards and can cause many problems.
Attractive option
Thet can be a great and very attractive option for homes. They are available in a wide variety of colours and styles, so the owners can find exactly the one they need to fit the style of their home. Moreover, these doors are also suitable for any kind of home, classic or modern, and can make an elegant and stylish statement. These doors can even be timber look, allowing people to replicate the look of their favourite timber, such as western red cedar. For a more stylish statement, they can also add -if they wish- some window panels in the top-most panel of the garage door.
