What should Calne 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.
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 Calne 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.
Do insulated doors need more headroom?
Thicker panels can need slightly more headroom. Where space is tight, a low-headroom track or a side-sectional door may suit better.
Which parts of Calne do you cover?
We cover Calne across postcode districts SN11, along with nearby Chippenham, Melksham and Trowbridge. Dates are agreed when you book.
Will Wiltshire 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 Wiltshire Council before ordering.
