Teddington, Gloucestershire Garage Door Professionals

What do I need to consider when choosing garage doors?

While it’s easy to think about the aesthetic aspect of your garage doors, you should also consider the functionality, too. If you’re going to be using your garage a lot, you’ll need doors that can handle the consistent opening and closing. A great option for this is roller garage doors which work like roller blinds and are much easier to open and close than up and over garage doors. If you want electric garage doors that open and close on their own by way of a remote, then roller and sectional garage doors are the best options. They are also much more secure if security is a concern for you. Think about how much space you need in your garage – if you want to utilise every nook and cranny then sectional garage doors, as well as roller, are very compact, and side hinged garage doors will give you more room at the very front of your garage (as the doors will be stored away at the sides when open).

For the traditional look, wooden garage doors are usually the way to go, especially if you have other wooden elements to your house exterior. Try side hinged, timber garage doors with glazed windows for a classic, stable or carriage style look. If you’d prefer the easier roller garage doors, then you will have to stick with steel or aluminium, which will be great for insulation, and also means you can choose any colour for the coating. Sleek black roller doors can look minimalist and simple if you want an un-fussy feel.

Whether you are decided on a style and material or not, talking to a professional from a Teddington, Gloucestershire garage door company or garage builders is always advisable because they will know more about the functionality, prices, durability and installation process than anyone else.
