Steel Constructed Up & Over Garage Doors : There are a large selection of steel garage door designs available. They come in wide selection of sizes and can also be made to measure. Steel up & over Garage Doors are sturdy and tough, and manufactured from corrosion resistant galvanized steel. They will provide years of reliable, hard wearing service.
The Canopy Garage Door is the most popular type of opening mechanism in the UK. Canopy garage doors are available in sizes up to (8ft) 2438mm wide and can be installed quickly as the door operates in vertical tracks fixed to the side frame. Canopy Garage Doors are the least expensive option and are very easy to fit but are not recommended for automation when the retractable garage door is available. When fully open the door forms a canopy above the opening of about a third of the doors height. Pivot points are located two-thirds of the way down the garage door, which helps improve the security of the garage door.
The Retractable Garage Door : Uses horizontal tracks to support the garage door in the open position. It is the ideal mechanism for Remote Control Operation and is the standard lifting gear for double sized garage doors. This system takes slightly longer to install than canopy-based garage doors as the tracks are fixed to the ceiling joists inside the garage.
