Low headroom sectional garage doors in Wick

Low headroom sectional garage doors: what matters for Wick garages

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 if there is almost no headroom?

If even a low headroom kit will not fit, a side sectional door, which parks against a wall, or a roller door are the alternatives we will talk you through.

What can you choose for your Wick garage?

For most Scottish homes a replacement garage door needs no planning application. Listed buildings and conservation areas are the cases to check with the council first.
