Ribbed sectional garage doors: what matters for Penzance garages
Which surface texture?
Ribbed panels are usually offered with a stucco-embossed texture, a woodgrain texture, or a smooth finish. Textured finishes hide fingerprints and light scratches better; smooth finishes look sharper but show marks more.
Do ribs affect strength?
The pressed ribs stiffen the steel skin slightly, which helps wide doors stay flat. Insulated cores do most of the stiffening on double-skin panels.
What can you choose for your Penzance garage?
- Fine rib (M-rib)Several ribs per section.
- Large rib (L-rib)One wide rib per section.
- WindowsOptional inserts in one section.
- TexturesStucco, woodgrain or smooth.

Our free survey checks the opening, headroom above it, room either side for the tracks, garage depth and where an operator will be powered from.
