Side sectional garage doors in West Glamorgan
We supply and fit side sectional doors across West Glamorgan, including Swansea, Neath, Gorseinon and Ystalyfera, with a free survey and a fixed written price for every door.
A side sectional garage door is made of vertical panels that run sideways on a curved track and park along the inside wall of the garage instead of under the ceiling. It suits garages with little or no headroom, ceilings you want to keep clear, or roof spaces used for storage, and it can be opened part-way for walking in and out.

What should you know about side sectional doors in West Glamorgan?
Is it secure?
The door runs in a top and bottom track and locks at the closing edge. Motorised versions are held closed by the drive when shut.
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.
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.
Which options can you choose?
- FinishesMost ribbed, flush and woodgrain finishes, with vertical panel joints.
- Partial openingWalk-through position on motorised versions.
- Electric or manualDedicated side-sliding operator or manual handle and lock.
