What should Farnham homeowners know about insulated sectional doors?
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 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.
Which options are available in Farnham?
- 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.

Questions from Farnham customers
Is an insulated garage door worth it?
If the garage is integral, heated, used as a workspace or stores anything sensitive to cold and damp, yes. For a detached garage used only for parking, a standard double-skin door is often enough.
Can I add insulation to my existing up-and-over door?
Insulation kits exist for up-and-over doors, but they add weight that the springs were not designed for and seldom seal well. Replacing with an insulated sectional door is the reliable route.
Which parts of Farnham do you cover?
We cover Farnham across postcode districts GU9, GU10, along with nearby Godalming, Camberley and Haslemere. Dates are agreed when you book.
Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Farnham?
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 the local district or borough council.
