a central drum. No overhead or wall tracks are required, so this is a good choice if ceiling space is sparse, but the garage will need to be able to accommodate the roller barrel. For integral garages, the door may need to
be well insulated. Sectional doors are usually the best for this, and the better designs come
with seals around all four sides of the door. If the garage opening is an unusual shape,
such as an arch, sectional doors are the ones to choose. Fitted behind the opening, they work with any shape entrance and can provide a styl- ish finish to a garage’s facade. Although, like retractable designs, sectional doors slide into
tracks on the ceiling of the garage, so overhead space needs to be considered. Security is also something that shouldn’t be
overlooked. Most of us keep expensive items in the garage, whether in the form of a prized motor, family bikes or DIY equipment. Good quality doors will offer multi-point locking, but for added peace of mind, choose a design with police approved Secured by Design accredita- tion. These doors have been put through their paces by experts to prove that they can withstand common methods of forced entry. For a style statement or if headroom is limited, side-sliding doors are ideal. They recess into tracks along the garage wall, offering a good alternative to the traditional sectional style. Most doors are available in a range of
colours and textured surface finishes, so your garage door can be sleek and stylish or a natural classic. Decorative options, such as windows, frosted glass elements and assorted handles can also add to the overall look. If aesthetics are the most important element,
you may wish to consider a matching entrance door. Many manufacturers offer styles specifi- cally designed to complement its wide range of garage doors. With a huge selection of doors on the market,
it’s important to be able to differentiate between the various options. A high-quality product, care- fully selected will not only add to a property’s appeal but also remain high-quality and appeal- ing even after the years have passed.
