Ribbed sectional garage doors: what matters for Hove garages

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.

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 Hove garage?

  • Fine rib (M-rib)Several ribs per section.
  • Large rib (L-rib)One wide rib per section.
  • TexturesStucco, woodgrain or smooth.
  • WindowsOptional inserts in one section.
