Choosing a ribbed sectional door for a home in Stornoway
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.
Which options are available in Stornoway?
- Fine rib (M-rib)Several ribs per section.
- WindowsOptional inserts in one section.
- TexturesStucco, woodgrain or smooth.
- Large rib (L-rib)One wide rib per section.

What rules apply in Stornoway?
Stornoway falls under Comhairle nan Eilean Siar for planning and building control, which is the place to check if your home is listed or in a conservation area.
In Scotland a door that does not materially change the look of the house is not usually development. A visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed buildings need consent.

Questions from Stornoway customers
Can ribbed doors have windows?
Yes, window inserts can be set into one section on most ranges.

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