What should Central London homeowners know about ribbed sectional 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.
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.
Which options are available in Central London?
- Large rib (L-rib)One wide rib per section.
- WindowsOptional inserts in one section.
- TexturesStucco, woodgrain or smooth.
- Fine rib (M-rib)Several ribs per section.
