What should you know about ribbed sectional doors in Edinburgh and the Lothians?
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.
What colours are available?
Ribbed doors come in standard colours such as white and anthracite grey on most ranges, with many RAL colours to order.
Fine ribs or large ribs?
Fine ribs give a busy, textured look that suits most homes and hides small marks well. Large ribs give a calmer, more architectural look with fewer lines, and suit modern houses and wide doors.
Which options can you choose?
- TexturesStucco, woodgrain or smooth.
- Fine rib (M-rib)Several ribs per section.
- Large rib (L-rib)One wide rib per section.

At the free survey we measure everything the manufacturer needs, check the brickwork, lintel and floor, and agree the door details with you.
What rules apply in Edinburgh and the Lothians?
In Scotland, works that do not materially change the outside appearance of a house are not usually development, so a like-for-like garage door is normally fine. The householder permitted development class for external alterations does not apply in conservation areas, so a visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed building consent is a separate requirement. Your council planning team can confirm.
Planning authorities in Edinburgh and the Lothians include City of Edinburgh Council, East Lothian Council, Midlothian Council and West Lothian Council.
