What should Forres homeowners know about single sectional doors?
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.
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.
