Choosing a ribbed sectional door for a home in Oxford
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.
What can you choose for your Oxford garage?
- WindowsOptional inserts in one section.
- TexturesStucco, woodgrain or smooth.
- Large rib (L-rib)One wide rib per section.
- Fine rib (M-rib)Several ribs per section.

Questions from Oxford customers
Does a ribbed door show dents less?
The ribs and textured finish disguise small marks better than smooth flush panels.
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.

Will the local district or borough council need to approve my new garage door?
Usually not. Replacing a garage door, including with an electric sectional door, does not normally need planning permission in England unless the house is listed, in a conservation area or Article 4 area, or has planning conditions affecting the garage. If in doubt, ask the local district or borough council before ordering.
