Choosing an insulated sectional door for a home in Tewkesbury
Will an insulated door help an integral garage?
Where a garage shares walls with the house, a colder garage means colder shared walls and rooms above. An insulated door will not turn a garage into a habitable room, but it does take the edge off, especially paired with a draught-sealed door between the house and the garage.
Do insulated doors weigh more?
Yes. Foam-filled steel panels are heavier than single-skin doors, which is why every sectional door is balanced by springs sized to that door, either torsion springs on a shaft above the opening or tension springs along the tracks, depending on the range and size. They are set during fitting so the door feels light by hand and the motor is not straining.

Planning and regulations for Tewkesbury homes
Tewkesbury 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.

Questions from Tewkesbury customers
Can I add insulation to my existing up-and-over door?
Insulation kits exist for up-and-over doors, but they add weight that the springs were not designed for and seldom seal well. Replacing with an insulated sectional door is the reliable route.
Can an insulated door be fitted to an older garage?
Usually, yes. The opening needs to be sound and square enough to fix to, with enough headroom above the opening and room either side for the tracks. The survey checks all three.
Which parts of Tewkesbury do you cover?
We cover Tewkesbury across postcode districts GL20, along with nearby Cheltenham and Gloucester. Dates are agreed when you book.
Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Tewkesbury?
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.
