Choosing an insulated sectional door for a home in Renfrew
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.
How much difference do seals make?
Panels are only half the story. A good door has a flexible bottom seal that follows uneven floors, brush or rubber side seals, a head seal and finger-safe joints with gaskets between sections. A badly sealed insulated door can lose more heat round the edges than through the panels, so seals are checked and set on fitting day.
Options and upgrades for Renfrew homes
- Seals all roundBottom, side and head seals, plus gaskets between sections.
- Panel thicknessTypically 40 to 42 mm double-skin, or thicker thermally broken panels on premium ranges.
- Window insertsAdd glazed inserts for daylight; they slightly reduce thermal performance.
- Any finishRibbed, flush, cassette, woodgrain and coloured finishes are all available with insulated panels.
What will an insulated sectional door cost in Renfrew?
Guide price: £2,095–£3,495 inc VAT. That covers the door, fitting, removal of a standard old door and VAT; the fixed price follows the free survey.
Our free survey checks the opening, headroom above it, room either side for the tracks, garage depth and where an operator will be powered from.
Do you need permission in Renfrew?
Planning questions for homes in Renfrew go to Renfrewshire Council. Most garage door swaps need no permission, but conservation areas and listed buildings are the exceptions.
Scottish rules normally allow a like-for-like garage door without permission. Conservation areas are stricter because the householder permitted development class for external alterations does not apply there.

Questions from Renfrew customers
Do insulated doors need more headroom?
Thicker panels can need slightly more headroom. Where space is tight, a low-headroom track or a side-sectional door may suit better.
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.
Which parts of Renfrew do you cover?

Will Renfrewshire Council need to approve my new garage door?
Usually not for a like-for-like door. In Scotland a visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed buildings need consent. If in doubt, ask Renfrewshire Council before ordering.
