Choosing a double sectional door for a home in Eastbourne
Can a double door have a pedestrian door in it?
Some ranges offer an integrated wicket door within a sectional door. It is useful on wide doors where there is no separate side door, though it adds cost and has threshold and width limits.
How long does fitting take?
A double sectional door is still usually a one-day job for a two-person team, including removal of the old door, unless the opening needs building work first.

- Heavier operatorOperator rated for the door area and weight.
- Any designRibbed, large rib, flush, cassette, woodgrain and glazed options.
- Wicket doorIntegrated pedestrian door on selected ranges.
- Matching side doorPedestrian door in the same finish.

Questions from Eastbourne customers
Can you replace two single doors with one double sectional?
Only if the central pier can be removed safely. That needs structural assessment and often a new lintel, which is arranged separately before the door is ordered.
Do I need more headroom for a double door?
Headroom depends more on the track and spring system than the width. Where headroom is tight, a low-headroom version is available.

Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Eastbourne?
Usually not. Replacing a garage door, including with an electric sectional door, does not normally need planning permission in England unless the house is listed, in a conservation area or Article 4 area, or has planning conditions affecting the garage. If in doubt, check with the local district or borough council.
