What should Clacton-on-Sea homeowners know about ribbed sectional doors?

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.

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.

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

How much does a ribbed sectional door cost in Clacton-on-Sea?

What is the difference between M-rib and L-rib?

M-rib (medium) has several fine ribs per section; L-rib (large) has one wide rib per section. It is a style choice.

The ribs and textured finish disguise small marks better than smooth flush panels.

If in doubt, ask the local district or borough council before ordering.
