Sectional v Roller Your Decide

Sectional vs Roller Garage Doors

A Quick Guide to Choosing the Right Garage Door for Your Home

Sectional Garage Doors

Modern | Insulated | Stylish

✅ Key Benefits:

• Vertical Opening – Opens straight up into ceiling tracks.

• Highly Insulated – 40mm thick double-skinned panels – ideal for integral garages.

• Excellent Security – Rigid panel design makes forced entry difficult.

• Custom Styles – Choose from a wide range of colours, panel designs, and finishes.

• Automation Friendly – Quiet, smooth, and easy to automate.

⚠ Considerations:

• Requires internal ceiling space for horizontal tracks.

• More involved installation than roller doors.

Roller Garage Doors

Compact | Convenient | Space-Saving

✅ Key Benefits:

• Space-Saving Design – Curtain rolls into a neat box above the opening.

• Maximises Drive-Through Height – Ideal for shorter garages or driveways.

• Good Insulation – Foam-filled aluminium laths offer thermal performance.

• Standard Automation – Most roller doors come motorised with remote control.

• Low Maintenance – Minimal internal tracking and a sleek, simple design.

⚠ Considerations:

• Fewer styling options than sectional doors.

• Budget models may lack long-term durability – quality matters!
