What should Stanford-le-Hope homeowners know about side sectional doors?
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.
Can you use it as a pedestrian door?
Yes. Because the door slides sideways, you can open it just far enough to walk through, which saves having a separate side door.
What can you choose for your Stanford-le-Hope garage?
- FinishesMost ribbed, flush and woodgrain finishes, with vertical panel joints.
- Electric or manualDedicated side-sliding operator or manual handle and lock.
- Partial openingWalk-through position on motorised versions.
