Low headroom sectional garage doors: what matters for Melksham garages
What changes on a low headroom door?
The springs may be moved to the rear of the tracks or replaced with a different spring system, and the top section follows a tighter path. The door works the same way from outside and looks the same.
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.
