Insulated sectional garage doors: what matters for Horsham 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.
Is it worth it on a detached garage?
On a detached garage used only for a car, a standard double-skin door is usually enough. If you keep tools, bikes, a freezer or stock in there, or you use it as a workspace, the warmer, drier conditions are worth the extra cost.
Which options are available in Horsham?
- 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.
- Any finishRibbed, flush, cassette, woodgrain and coloured finishes are all available with insulated panels.
- Electric or manualMost insulated doors are motorised; manual operation is possible on lighter doors.

Questions from Horsham 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.
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 Horsham do you cover?
We cover Horsham across postcode districts RH12, RH13, along with nearby Crawley, Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill. Dates are agreed when you book.
Will the local district or borough council need to approve my new garage door?
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, ask the local district or borough council before ordering.
