Side sectional garage doors: what matters for Thurso garages

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.

How does it compare on price?

Side sectional doors are more specialised, so they usually cost more than an equivalent overhead sectional door.
