Choosing a single sectional door for a home in Hitchin
Can you widen the drive-through width?
Many single sectional doors are fitted behind the opening, which can give a slightly wider clear opening than the old frame allowed. The survey shows what clear width you will end up with.
Manual or electric?
A well-balanced single sectional door is light enough to lift by hand, so manual operation is a valid choice and saves money. Most people still choose electric for convenience and security.

- ColoursStandard colours or RAL colours on most ranges.
- Window insertsDaylight panels in one section.
- Insulated panelsDouble-skin panels with foam core.
