What is a Sectional Garage Door

Sectional garage doors are becoming one of the most popular garage doors in the UK. Their strength, safety and security are just some of the many benefits that justify this popularity. They are known as "sectional garage doors" because of their structure because they consist of separate sections that open vertically. This means that cross-section garage doors can be attached to almost any opening shape (circular, arched, etc.).

How a Sectional Garage door is built

Most sectional doors are double skinned as standard, with42mm thick panels filled with insulation foam. These sections are generally constructed from galvanised steel for strength and longevity.  The efficient and impressive construction of a sectional door provides strength and stability not possible in other doors, even in larger than normal sizes. As a result,significantly larger garage openings can be accommodated using a sectional door.

Space Saving Solutions

Sectional garage doors open and close vertically, meaning space around the opening can be utilised. This is perfect for shorter garages or driveways, allowing vehicles to be parked up against the door without needing space to 'swing out' when opening the door. The door panels curve upwards over the opening and then back into the headroom of the garage. When fitted and specified accurately, unlike other garage door types, a sectional can offer full drive through height and width.This is an ideal solution for garages that require large vehicle access or have limited access dimensions.

Sectional Garage Door Operation

The mechanical design of a sectional garage door is notably different to Up and Over garage doors. The spring system provides a much smoother operation than a conventional Up and Over door, which is particularly useful on larger sized doors. All sectional garage doors can be operated manually or electrically, both of which remain smooth and quiet thanks to superior technology, impeccable design, and high-quality components. Sectional garage door panels provide secure operation with pinch protection between sections, preventing finger pinching and various other safety features that comply with all current government regulations.
