Choosing a ribbed sectional door for a home in Maidstone

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.

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.

Options and upgrades for Maidstone homes

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

What rules apply in Maidstone?
