Insulated sectional garage doors in Castleford

Key questions about insulated sectional doors in Castleford

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.

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.

What can you choose for your Castleford garage?

• Seals all roundBottom, side and head seals, plus gaskets between sections.
