Choosing a side sectional door for a home in Letchworth Garden City
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.
When does a side sectional beat an overhead door?
If you have a low ceiling, a beam just above the opening, ceiling storage or a loft hatch you want to keep using, a side-sliding door avoids the ceiling altogether. It needs clear wall space on one side instead.
Which options are available in Letchworth Garden City?
- 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 Letchworth Garden City 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 Letchworth Garden City?
Usually not.
