Insulated sectional garage doors in Bridgend

Insulated sectional garage doors: what matters for Bridgend garages

How long do the panels last?

Galvanised and factory-coated steel panels are made for many years of outdoor use. Look after the coating with an occasional wash, keep the bottom seal clear of grit and leaves, and book a service every year or so to keep springs and cables in order.

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.

Which options are available in Bridgend?
