Retractable Garage Doors

Retractable garage doors operate in an up-and-over motion, these traditional style doors can be operated automatically & offering a more stable, robust solution than the traditional canopy-type garage door. A large proportion of the garage door swings out as it opens, sliding away backwards horizontally into the ceiling area. Please note: Clearance space (as depicted in the image) is required therefore parking very close to the retractable garage door is not possible.

Canopy Garage Doors

Canopy garage doors open & protrude externally about a third of the door length. When the door opens it slides and tucks away into the ceiling area of the garage. Please note: Clearance space (as depicted in the image) is required therefore parking very close to the canopy garage door is not possible but allows more clear space than a retractable options above. This type of garage door can be automated.

Roller Garage Doors

Roller garage doors offer quick and easy access, comprising a single curtain of steel or aluminum with interlocking sections. The garage door lifts vertically upwards, rolling upon itself. These are frameless doors & no parking clearance space is required (as depicted in the image). A reasonable amount of headroom is required for these garage doors. Roller garage doors are available both with and without insulation. This type of door can have automation fitted to them.

Sectional Garage Doors

Sectional garage doors are the premier garage door product available, due to their tough, secure and stylish design. Made of hinged panels, four separate interlocking horizontal panels, manufactured in either steel or of timber. The entire garage door rises upwards upon opening (in a straight vertical line), no parking clearance is required in front the garage & it is also frameless (as with the Roller option)& generates more overall space within the garage itself. This type of garage door can be automated.
