Insulated sectional garage doors in Purley

What should Purley homeowners know about insulated sectional doors?

Is it worth it on a detached garage?

On a detached garage used only for a car, a standard double-skin door is usually enough. If you keep tools, bikes, a freezer or stock in there, or you use it as a workspace, the warmer, drier conditions are worth the extra cost.

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.

What can you choose for your Purley garage?

• Panel thicknessTypically 40 to 42 mm double-skin, or thicker thermally broken panels on premium ranges.

Planning and regulations for Purley homes

Purley falls under the local London 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.
