Insulated sectional garage doors in New Mills

What should New Mills homeowners know about insulated sectional doors?

What thickness should you pick?

Most domestic sectional doors use panels of about 40 to 42 mm. Doors sold as thermally broken use thicker panels, often around 67 mm, with a break between the inner and outer skins so cold is not conducted straight through. The thicker option costs more and needs a little more headroom, so it makes most sense on integral or heated garages.

Why choose a foam-filled panel over single-skin steel?

A single-skin door is a sheet of steel and little else, so the garage runs at outdoor temperature. A double-skin panel with a polyurethane core slows heat loss, stops the panel drumming in wind and gives a stiffer, quieter door. If the garage is a workshop, gym, utility or store for anything that dislikes damp and cold, insulation is the part of the specification that earns its keep.
