Insulated sectional garage doors in Brecon

Key questions about insulated sectional doors in Brecon

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.

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.

Which options are available in Brecon?

• 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.
• Window insertsAdd glazed inserts for daylight; they slightly reduce thermal performance.
