What should Truro homeowners know about large sectional doors?
What about oak-framed and timber buildings?
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.
Is a domestic operator enough?
Not always. Larger, heavier doors need an operator rated for the size, and very large doors may use a shaft-mounted operator instead of a ceiling rail.
Which options are available in Truro?
- Shaft or rail operatorSpecified to the door size.
- Heavier springsSpring sets sized to the larger door weight.
- Vision rowsWindows across one section.
- High-lift tracksUse roof height so the door parks higher.
