What should Seaham homeowners know about cassette sectional doors?

How many cassettes will I get?

The number of cassettes per row depends on the door width and the range. The manufacturer sets the layout so cassettes stay well proportioned.

Which colours suit a cassette door?

White is the classic choice, with cream, heritage greens, blues and woodgrain effects popular on period homes.

Do you need permission in Seaham?

If your property in Seaham is listed, in a conservation area or on an estate with planning conditions, Durham County Council is the authority to check with before ordering.

English planning rules normally treat a replacement garage door as permitted. Listed status, conservation areas, Article 4 directions and estate planning conditions are what can change that.
