What should you know about ribbed sectional doors in Greater Manchester?
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.
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 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 can you choose?
- 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.

What rules apply in Greater Manchester?
In England, swapping a garage door for a new one, including an electric sectional door, does not normally need planning permission. Permission or consent can be needed if the house is listed, if it sits in a conservation area or is covered by an Article 4 direction, or if the new door would noticeably change how the house looks from the street. On many newer estates a planning condition removes permitted development rights or requires the garage to be kept for parking, so check your planning history before changing the door or the use of the garage.
Planning authorities in Greater Manchester include Bolton Council, Bury Council, Manchester City Council, Oldham Council, Rochdale Council, Salford City Council, Stockport Council, Tameside Council, Trafford Council and Wigan Council.
