What should Gerrards Cross homeowners know about large sectional doors?
Can large doors be insulated and glazed?
Yes. Most large doors use insulated panels, and window rows or vision panels can be added to bring light into a long garage.

Doors can be fixed to timber frames, but the fixings and any packers have to suit the frame, and green oak moves as it dries. The survey checks the frame and the fixing positions.

Usually. The fixing method is matched to the frame, and allowance is made for timber movement.

Will Buckinghamshire Council need to approve my new garage door?
