Cassette and Georgian sectional garage doors in Stowmarket

Cassette and Georgian sectional garage doors: what matters for Stowmarket garages

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.

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.

What rules apply in Stowmarket?

The planning authority for Stowmarket 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.
