What should Thornton-Cleveleys homeowners know about single sectional doors?
Why replace an up-and-over with a single sectional?
An up-and-over door tilts out and up, so you cannot park close to it and it eats into the width of the opening. A sectional door lifts straight up, keeps the full width usable, seals better and is easier to motorise.
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.
What can you choose for your Thornton-Cleveleys garage?
- ColoursStandard colours or RAL colours on most ranges.
- Window insertsDaylight panels in one section.
- Insulated panelsDouble-skin panels with foam core.
- Manual or electricManual lock and handle, or operator with remotes.
