Choosing an insulated sectional door for a home in Shrewsbury
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.
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 Shrewsbury?
- Window insertsAdd glazed inserts for daylight; they slightly reduce thermal performance.
- 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.
- Electric or manualMost insulated doors are motorised; manual operation is possible on lighter doors.
What will an insulated sectional door cost in Shrewsbury?
Guide price: £2,095–£3,495 inc VAT. The figure includes VAT, fitting and taking away a standard old door. Your survey turns it into a fixed price.
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.
What rules apply in Shrewsbury?
The planning authority for Shrewsbury is Shropshire Council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.
English planning rules normally treat a replacement garage door as permitted. Listed status, conservation areas, Article 4 directions and estate planning conditions are what can change that.

Questions from Shrewsbury customers
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.
How much does an insulated sectional garage door cost?
Guide prices for a single insulated sectional door supplied and fitted with an electric operator run £2,095–£3,495, from a standard door up to thermally broken panels. Size, finish, glazing and the state of the opening all move the figure, so we confirm a fixed price after a free survey.

Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Shrewsbury?
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 Shropshire Council.
