Cassette and Georgian sectional garage doors in Bangor (County Down)

Key questions about cassette sectional doors in Bangor (County Down)

Why pick a cassette design?

Cassettes break the door into a grid, which echoes panelled front doors and sash windows. On a traditional house, a cassette door looks at home in a way a plain ribbed door sometimes does not.

Can a cassette door be insulated and electric?

Yes. Cassette panels are usually double-skin and insulated, and the door can be motorised like any other sectional door.
