Thermally efficient modern garage doors in Bromley and Dartford, to Maidstone and Sevenoaks

Reclaiming the space lost with older designs and the added advantages of effective insulation are what attract most people to replace their old garage doors.

Made from a composite of aluminium panels with an internal insulating material filling, our sectional and side-hinged garage doors are designed to maintain a more comfortable temperature within the garage. With precise fit on all sides and a compressing seal at the foot, new garage doors will keep out draughts in an unheated garage or save you money if your garage has heating.

Unlike older wood panelled doors or single skin up and over doors, these new composite garage doors offer thermal performance similar to double glazing or exterior house doors, with u-values of 1.4W/M2K.

Security is central to design in sectional and side hinged garage doors

All our doors are secure by design meeting national standards for security. The robust design of all components including locking and panel design prevents forced entry.

Doors equipped with automation (electrically controlled opening and closing systems) include additional security beyond the material strength of the doors resisting attempts at unauthorised entry. Automation systems include key fob remote control and an app control option for use with phones that adds timed opening and closing routines and requests.

Side hinged doors can be designed to open outwards or inwards, to offer pedestrian or full access. Sectional doors can be built with a wicket (or inset) door to allow for pedestrian access. In both cases, the doors are fitted with rebated seals for maximum weather protection and minimal heat transference.

FAQs

Installing a new garage door can enhance your home's security, functionality, and curb appeal. Below are some frequently asked questions specifically about sectional and side-hinged garage doors:

What is a sectional garage door?

A sectional garage door is composed of multiple horizontal panels connected by hinges. These panels move vertically along tracks and then horizontally, resting parallel to the garage ceiling when open. This design maximizes space both inside and outside the garage.

What is a side-hinged garage door?

Side-hinged garage doors consist of two doors that swing open outward or inward from a hinged frame on the sides, similar to traditional barn doors. They offer easy pedestrian access without the need to open the entire garage and are ideal for garages used primarily for storage or as workshops.

Can sectional and side-hinged garage doors be insulated?

Yes, both types can be insulated. Insulated sectional doors typically have panels filled with polystyrene or polyurethane foam, enhancing energy efficiency and noise reduction. Insulated side-hinged doors often feature double-skinned panels with insulation between layers, providing similar benefits.

How much space is required for installation?

Sectional Garage Doors: These require headroom for the tracks and door panels to operate. The exact space depends on the door's design and size.

Side-Hinged Garage Doors: These need clear space in front of the garage to allow the doors to swing open fully. They are suitable for garages with limited headroom or obstructions inside.

How long will Installation Take?

The installation of a garage door typically takes between 1 to 4 hours per door, depending on the type and size of the door. Our expert team will work efficiently to ensure minimal disruption while completing the installation to the highest standards.

What happens with my old garage door?

We take care of everything when it comes to your old garage door. As part of our service, we will safely remove and dispose of your old door, ensuring it's properly recycled or disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner. This service is always included in the cost, so you won’t have to worry about any extra charges or handling.

Are these doors secure?

Both sectional and side-hinged garage doors offer robust security features. Sectional doors, with their sturdy panel construction and steel guiding, provide excellent resistance to forced entry. Side-hinged doors, especially those made of steel, offer durability and can be equipped with secure locking mechanisms.

Can these doors be automated?

Sectional garage doors are commonly automated, allowing for convenient remote-controlled operation. Side-hinged doors can also be automated, though this may require additional hardware and considerations due to their swinging motion.

What maintenance is required?

Regular maintenance for both types includes routine cleaning to prevent corrosion, lubricating moving parts, checking and adjusting alignment, and inspecting for wear and tear.

Do you offer any Guarantees?

Yes, we provide a 10-year guarantee on all our sectional and side-hinged garage doors, ensuring long-term durability and peace of mind. Additionally, any electrical components, including automation systems, come with a 2-year guarantee for reliability and performance.

How do I choose between sectional and side-hinged garage doors?

Consider factors such as available space, intended use of the garage, aesthetic preferences, and budget. Sectional doors are ideal for maximizing space and are well-suited for automated operation. Side-hinged doors offer a traditional appearance and convenient pedestrian access, making them suitable for multifunctional garage spaces.
