Sectional garage doors are set to be the next big thing and, by getting in there right away, you can ensure that you will be the envy of the entire street! The doors are attractive, high quality and, most importantly for those of us who want to keep our possessions safe, they are high strength. All these qualities have been made possible due the unique design of this new Gliderol product and by the advanced technologies which are employed in the assembling of each individual design.

Our sectional garage door is so great because it combined two things which all our houses do, top-quality design with a view to protecting the contents and residents and keeping them safe. Our years of experience in the business have also taught us that no two garages and indeed no two customers are the same and thus we offer a huge range of different doors which cannot fail but appeal to many different people at every point on the taste and style spectrum.

Innovation and Invention

Not only do sectional garage doors look so appealing, it’s got a wealth of technical expertise and innovative invention to back it up as well! The doors, all manufactured within the U.K, work around a number of hinged rigid sections which slide overhead. This makes the door both lightweight and very easy to operate; two features which really set it apart from much of the competition.  

The doors are made from extremely high-strength galvanized steel and this means that they are incredibly durable and, as long as you care for them in the proper way, they will be able to withstand whatever the British weather, or your neighbor’s kid’s football, can throw at them.  The doors use a vertically opening panel system, with the mechanism to work this fitted into the inside of your garage; this essentially means that, rather than with conventionally opening garage doors, you can utilize the entire space of your driveway. Similarly, if your garage opens straight onto the street, these new sectional garage door could be a very important safety feature for your home.

Garage doors to suit your lifestyle

We know that not everybody is the same; the same door will not suit every single garage just as the same product will not suit every single customer. That’s why, with Gliderol sectional garage doors, we let you choose from a range of different options in order to fit you with a door which suits you, your garage and your lifestyle. 

You can choose between having a single-skin door or, if you want to create a warmer environment for a recreational retreat or utility room, you can also choose a sectional garage door which is insulated. Insulated doors cost a little bit more but, if you see your garage as just another room in your house, it can really help create  a warmth which extends that homely feeling you want to create.

Also, as well as the manual gliding mechanism, you can bring an extra something special to your home by getting an automatically-opening garage door. Controlled by a remote, you can ensure that you never have to get wet fighting with your door in the rain; stay in the security and dryness of your own car, let your door glide open and then drive in! What could be simpler?

You will find details of the types of guarantee which come with your door in the specific section of this site which deals with this sort of information. In order to ensure that you are as protected as you need to be, we offer different lengths of guarantee for different aspects of your new door.

All about the look a sectional garage door will create

We also understand, however, that it’s not all about safety and security; you want a garage door which fits in with the look of the rest of your house. That’s why we offer a plethora of different designs, finishes and even windows which will all help add that extra touch of beauty and aesthetic integrity to your house, your street and your neighborhood.

If you don’t like the look of the traditional garage fronting, then why not try a wood look finish which, although costing slightly more, looks absolutely incredible and never fails to draw attention and plaudits from passers-by. With the vast array of sectional garage doors which are available, you cannot help but find a door which you will be overwhelmingly happy with.

For those who want a more traditional feel to their home and their garage/utility room, there is the Oxford Range of doors.  Based around classic Georgian squares, the Oxford range really brings timeless style to any property. Whilst the design does suit a wood-grain finish door, the affect can also be achieved on a smooth finish door.  With the Panel Glide Oxford, you can also choose from an array of windows which are perfect if you have converted your garage into a utility room or recreational space. The various different windows which are available are pictured on a different page of this website and so we will just run through some of the major details now. The windows range from a traditional and plain effect to dazzling and eye-catching designs such as ‘horizon’ and ‘sunburst’ which capture the sun in more ways than one!

For those who want to go a little more contemporary then the Hampton range is well worth considering.  It’s a simple door with regular rectangular embossments which give a clean, uncluttered and modern finish without being too gregarious or flashy. The door is available in single-skin or, if you need a little bit more warmth, insulated versions are also available.  This door, like all the Panel Glide range, can be purchased in either a single-skin sectional garage doors or insulated sectional garage door and can also be fitted with an automatic opening device or, for the more traditional amongst you, can be opened manually.

Our Tuscan and Madison ranges of doors are at the cutting edge of style and are very popular with those wishing to make an aesthetic statement with their choice of door. These two new ‘ribbed’ designs are made to achieve a timber-style effect which brings a really unique feel to your home; the polyester and laminate steel construction make for a lightweight door which is durable, safe and strong.  The Single-skin version of these doors is available in a wood-grain finish only whereas, if you decide to warm-up with an insulated Tuscan or Madison door then you can opt for a smooth finish as well. Obviously, with a door which is designed to look like timber, a wood-grain effect is only going to add to the overall appeal and thus you shouldn’t feel as though you are missing out on anything if you opt for the single-skin version.

How does the automatic or electric sectional garage door opener work?

One of the things which makes our products unique is that you have the option of having them fitted with the Glidermatic Optima opening system which means you never have to lift a finger to open your door. It is this sort of innovation and invention which has kept us at the forefront of the garage door industry over many years. We’ll go into the technical details later but, suffice to say that , with the amount of different features and safety precautions we’ve packed in to the mechanism, it really is fool-proof; even a techno-phobe such as myself has no problem using it! You can find detailed information on the specifications of the automatic door system as well as how we fit the doors on another part of this website.
