Ribbed sectional garage doors: what matters for Seaham 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.
Is a ribbed door the cheapest option?
Ribbed designs in white are often the entry point to a range, which makes them good value, but premium ranges offer ribbed panels too.
What can you choose for your Seaham garage?
- Large rib (L-rib)One wide rib per section.
- Fine rib (M-rib)Several ribs per section.
- TexturesStucco, woodgrain or smooth.
- WindowsOptional inserts in one section.
