What should Andover homeowners know about insulated sectional doors?
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.
What can you choose for your Andover garage?
- Window insertsAdd glazed inserts for daylight; they slightly reduce thermal performance.
- Electric or manualMost insulated doors are motorised; manual operation is possible on lighter doors.
- Panel thicknessTypically 40 to 42 mm double-skin, or thicker thermally broken panels on premium ranges.
- Any finishRibbed, flush, cassette, woodgrain and coloured finishes are all available with insulated panels.

Questions from Andover customers
Is an insulated garage door worth it?
If the garage is integral, heated, used as a workspace or stores anything sensitive to cold and damp, yes. For a detached garage used only for parking, a standard double-skin door is often enough.
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 Andover do you cover?
We cover Andover across postcode districts SP10, SP11, along with nearby Winchester and Romsey. Dates are agreed when you book.
Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Andover?
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.
