What should Braintree homeowners know about cassette sectional doors?
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.
What can you choose for your Braintree garage?
- Heritage coloursMany RAL colours to order.
- Cassette layoutGrid set by the manufacturer for the width.
- Window cassettesGlazed inserts in the top row on some ranges.
- Woodgrain textureAdds a painted-timber feel.
Guide price for a cassette sectional door in Braintree
Guide price: £2,195–£2,895 inc VAT. The figure includes VAT, fitting and taking away a standard old door. Your survey turns it into a fixed price.
The survey is free and there is no obligation. We measure width, height, headroom, side room and depth, and look at power for an operator.
Do you need permission in Braintree?
The planning authority for Braintree is the local district or borough council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.
In England you can usually replace a garage door without planning permission. Check first if the house is listed, sits in a conservation area or Article 4 area, or was built with planning conditions covering the garage.
