Ribbed sectional garage doors: what matters for Shirley garages
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.
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 Shirley?
- Fine rib (M-rib)Several ribs per section.
- TexturesStucco, woodgrain or smooth.
- Large rib (L-rib)One wide rib per section.
- WindowsOptional inserts in one section.
How much does a ribbed sectional door cost in Shirley?
Guide price: £1,695–£2,795 inc VAT. That covers the door, fitting, removal of a standard old door and VAT; the fixed price follows the free survey.
The survey is free and there is no obligation. We measure width, height, headroom, side room and depth, and look at power for an operator.
