Choosing an insulated sectional door for a home in Tunbridge Wells
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.
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.

Questions from Tunbridge Wells 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.
What U-value will I get?
Manufacturers publish U-values for each range and size. As an example, one leading range quotes about 1.4 W/m²K for a fitted 42 mm door and about 1.0 W/m²K for its 67 mm thermally broken version, against roughly 6.5 W/m²K for a single-skin steel door of the same size. Window inserts reduce performance slightly. We give you the published figure for the exact door on your quote.

Yes. We cover Tunbridge Wells, including postcode districts TN1, TN2, TN3, TN4. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Tunbridge Wells?
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.
