What should you know about ribbed sectional doors in Tyne and Wear?
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 colours are available?
Ribbed doors come in standard colours such as white and anthracite grey on most ranges, with many RAL colours to order.
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.
Which options can you choose?
- Fine rib (M-rib)Several ribs per section.
- WindowsOptional inserts in one section.
- Large rib (L-rib)One wide rib per section.
- TexturesStucco, woodgrain or smooth.

What rules apply in Tyne and Wear?
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 Tyne and Wear include Gateshead Council, Newcastle City Council, North Tyneside Council, South Tyneside Council and Sunderland City Council.
