Sectional garage doors have been around a surprisingly long time but they only started to gain popularity in the UK in recent years. A sectional or ‘overhead’ garage door opens vertically upwards and is suspended under the ceiling when in the door is in the open position.

This type of mechanism means that the door does not swing out when it is opening, so you can safely park your vehicle in front of the door. It also allows for flexible and weatherproof seals on all four sides of the door, dramatically increasing the insulating properties of the product.

As well as the weatherproof seals, sectional doors are available with up to 42mm of (CFC–free) foam insulation. This can turn a garage into a much more usable and pleasant space, not to mention the substantial impact it can have on heating bills if the garage is attached to your house.

Sectional Garage doors can fit behind the opening allowing them to operate with different shaped garages. Sectional Garage doors can fit behind the opening allowing them to operate with different shaped garages.

We usually fit sectional garage doors behind the garage opening, which means that they work with different shapes of openings, such as arches. It also means that with no arms or frame taking up valuable space, you have the full width and height of the garage opening available, so you won’t have to pull the wing mirrors in to park the car anymore.

Sectional garage doors are available in a number of construction materials including steel, aluminium and solid timber. They have a huge range of design colour and finish options including Decograin timber effect doors and Duragrain finishes which offer a UV-resistant and highly scratch proof surface.
