Choosing a cassette sectional door for a home in Folkestone
Do cassette panels collect dirt?
The recesses can hold dust and leaves, so an occasional wash keeps them crisp.
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.
Which options are available in Folkestone?

- 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.

Planning and regulations for Folkestone homes
Folkestone falls under the local district or borough council for planning and building control, which is the place to check if your home is listed or in a conservation area.
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.
