Sectional Garage Doors
Sectional garage doors comprise of individual sections which are connected together by finger proof hinges. The door opens up vertically and then into the garage roof space and does not kick out at the bottom on doing so. This allows the owner to park the vehicle right in front of the opening and still open the door. This is particular beneficial if you have a short driveway. When open the door retracts to sit horizontally within the roof space of the garage.
The sectional garage doors construction provides excellent rigidity and strength which provides a very secure solution for domestic garages and is available in a range of designs and finishes including 4 standard painted colours finished in a choice of either a smooth or wood grain effect finish. Also available is the option of painting to any available RAL colour and the finally the option of either a laminated Golden Oak or Rosewood finish to give the sectional garage door a more traditional appearance.
Thanks to the unique design of a sectional garage door, when compared to a traditional up and over garage door, it will win hands down every time. The door will be far smoother and quieter during operation thanks to the torsion springs offering better assistance in lifting the doors weight which makes it ideal for manual or electric operation regardless of the doors size.
Maximum Opening Size
This type of sectional garage door gives the maximum use of drive through width as the fittings are attached to the internal face of the brickwork. Rubber seals around the sectional garage door prevent any unwanted debris getting inside the building.
Manual or Electric
Where manual sectional garage doors are required, a choice of handles are available to suit your tastes and the door design. Manually operated sectional doors secure themselves using locking bars that shoot into the side guides on the inside of the building, meaning no one can access them who should not be able to.
For the homeowner looking to add more convenience, then automatic sectional garage doors are the ideal choice. Requiring only a standard boom operated motor, a remote control door will mean you need never get wet and cold again as you arrive home. Simply press the button, allow the door to rise vertically and then drive in. For your convenience, the Gliderol garage door motors we supply with all our sectional garage doors feature an in built courtesy light so once you leave the car, the garage is still lit which can be extremely beneficial.
Installation
The majority of sectional overhead doors are installed with the guides at the back of the opening. This method of installation allows for the maximum structural opening to be maintained. This is particularly useful if the garage is only small or where a large vehicle will be parked inside the garage. Please note this method of installation is only possible if the required amount of side room and headroom is available.
Where the sectional garage doors require fixing in between the structural opening due to a lack of headroom and side room or because the reveals are very thick, the addition of a between the reveal fitting kit must be specified at the time of ordering to allow the guides to be converted to this kind of installation.
High Security
In terms of security, a sectional garage door is probably one of the hardest to penetrate. As the sectional door only lifts vertically, it is very difficult to gain enough leverage to force the door from the bottom. In addition to this, either the locking bars of a manual door or the garage door motor itself will hold the door closed should someone try to gain entry.
Safety
Whilst sectional garage doors offer many great benefits, the only slight drawback to them are the fact they require horizontal tracks that fix from the ceiling of the garage. The tracks are necessary to support the door panel as it glides back into the garage. Although some customers do not like this, the majority of homeowners see that the many benefits far outweigh this one minor drawback.
Safety is paramount with any type of garage door, but with more moving parts than most other doors, a sectional garage door must meet certain criteria to comply with legislation. Our range of high quality sectional garage doors are all fitted with anti drop devices to prevent injury occurring should the spring or cables ever fail.
Finger trap protection and Side frame trap protection ensures fingers cannot get caught in any of the moving parts of the door. In addition to this, heavy duty roller holders and safety tracks ensure door does not derail.
