Choosing a side sectional door for a home in Newton Aycliffe
Is it electric?
Side sectional doors can be motorised with a dedicated operator that runs along the head track. Manual versions are also available.
How much side room is needed?
The door parks along one side wall, so that wall needs to be clear for roughly the width of the door, plus a small amount of side room on the other jamb. Shelving, windows or a side door on the parking wall can rule it out, which is why we look at the whole garage at survey.
What can you choose for your Newton Aycliffe garage?
- Electric or manualDedicated side-sliding operator or manual handle and lock.
- Partial openingWalk-through position on motorised versions.
- FinishesMost ribbed, flush and woodgrain finishes, with vertical panel joints.

Questions from Newton Aycliffe customers
Can a side sectional door be insulated?
Yes, the panels are insulated in the same way as overhead sectional doors.
Will a side sectional fit if I have a side door?
It depends where the side door is. The parking wall needs to be clear, so a side door on that wall can stop it fitting.

Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Newton Aycliffe?
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, check with Durham County Council.
