Low headroom sectional garage doors: what matters for Consett garages
Are there trade-offs?
Low headroom systems can cost more, can need a little more depth inside the garage, and some operators need a specific bracket or a different drive. We check all of this at survey.
How much headroom does a standard door need?
Published figures for standard tracks run from about 100 mm to a little over 200 mm above the opening, depending on the range, the spring type, whether there is an operator and whether the door has a pass door. When that space is not there, a low headroom kit changes the track geometry and spring position to fit in less, with some systems quoting as little as 70 to 125 mm.
What can you choose for your Consett garage?
- Rear-mounted springsMoves the spring shaft away from the opening.
- Matched operatorOperator and bracket suited to the low headroom set-up.
- Low headroom trackTighter top radius so the door parks close to the ceiling.
