Insulated sectional garage doors: what matters for Chapeltown garages
Why choose a foam-filled panel over single-skin steel?
A single-skin door is a sheet of steel and little else, so the garage runs at outdoor temperature. A double-skin panel with a polyurethane core slows heat loss, stops the panel drumming in wind and gives a stiffer, quieter door. If the garage is a workshop, gym, utility or store for anything that dislikes damp and cold, insulation is the part of the specification that earns its keep.
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.

Questions from Chapeltown customers
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.
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.
