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