Choosing a low headroom sectional door for a home in Frome
Can a low headroom door be electric?
Yes. Operators are available for low headroom installations, though the operator position and rail length must suit the reduced space.
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.
Options and upgrades for Frome homes
- Matched operatorOperator and bracket suited to the low headroom set-up.
- Rear-mounted springsMoves the spring shaft away from the opening.
- Low headroom trackTighter top radius so the door parks close to the ceiling.

Questions from Frome customers
Will a low headroom door look different?
From the outside it looks the same as any sectional door in the same finish.
How little headroom can a sectional door work with?
It depends on the range and door size. Some low headroom systems quote figures from about 70 mm for manual doors, with more needed once an operator is added. The survey measures exactly what you have and matches a system to it.

Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Frome?
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, check with Somerset Council.
