In recent years, sectional garage doors have risen in popularity significantly, and it’s easy to see why.
For modern properties, these garage doors represent a fantastic sleek, easy to use and space-saving solution. At the same time, they boast top security standards, and are available in a huge variety of colours, styles and finishes.
So, if you’re considering upgrading your existing garage door, keep reading.
Below, Wolf Doors’ expert team have shared their 5 top reasons why you should invest in a sectional garage door.
What are sectional garage doors?
A sectional garage door consists of multiple horizontal panels (aka sections). These panels are hinged together.
That way, when the door is opened, the panels are designed to slide vertically and travel along tracks up and flat alongside the garage’s ceiling.
The key USP of sectional garage doors is the fact that they can open straight upwards and tuck neatly into the ceiling (rather than swinging outwards).
Compared to up-and-over doors, sectional garage doors:
- Don’t require a lot of space to open (meaning the area in front of the garage can be repurposed for another use)
- Also allow you to maximise the internal garage space you have available (as you don’t need to leave any space for opening or closing the door).
- Have a tighter seal around the opening
- This means they achieve improved insulation and security
With that in mind, let’s run through our 5 favourite reasons why you should explore sectional garage doors.
5 reasons to buy a sectional garage door
Lots of styles
Sectional garage doors offer complete design flexibility. They are an extremely versatile alternative to conventional, traditional door styles.
Their extensive range of design styles includes everything from modern flush panels, to more traditional ribbed or cassette finishes.
So, you can choose a finish that perfectly complements your property, whether it’s a new build, a period property, the height of modernity, or has its own distinctive unique-to-you aesthetic.
Various colour options
Sectional doors are also available in an extensive range of colours and finishes.
This includes everything from your classic shades of whites and greys, to natural woodgrain effects.
What’s more, by working with a specialist supplier like Wolf Doors, you can also choose a sectional door in a bespoke colour shade. This includes the flexibility to colour match your garage door with other property features, such as your windows, front doors or exterior cladding.
Bonus: As a Hörmann partner, Wolf Doors have the full range of Hörmann styles, finishes, and customisation options available. So, you can enjoy even more design choice for your new sectional garage door.
Easy to use
Sectional garage doors are brilliantly easy to use. Not only are they designed for smooth and even operation, but they can also be opened and closed with minimal physical effort.
They can also be equipped with electric operators, to allow you to operate them via a remote control.
Plus, as the doors don’t swing outwards or inwards to open, they can be used without requiring you to make available space inside or outside of the garage.
All in all, this makes sectional garage doors a great way to maximise the usability of this part of your home. This is particularly valuable if you’re thinking of converting your garage to another room, e.g. a home office.
Insulated options available
Modern sectional doors come with insulated panels. This improves their insulation, and helps you to regulate the garage’s indoor temperature.
This feature significantly improves energy efficiency and helps to keep energy bills down, while also reducing draughts and improving comfort in the garage. Ideal if you’re using the garage as a home office, gym, spare bedroom or studio, for example.
Security
Sectional garage doors offer one of the highest security standards of any modern garage door.
These sophisticated units feature tight opening seals and close-fitting slats, plus multi-point locking mechanisms. As a result, they are extremely resistant to forced entry.
