What should Formby 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.
What finishes suit a single door?
Every design in the range is available in single sizes, from fine ribs and flush panels to Georgian-style cassettes and woodgrain effects.
