Choosing a replacement sectional door for a home in Bishop's Stortford
Does the sectional door go behind or in the opening?
Fitting behind the opening usually gives the best clear width and seals well against the inside face of the wall. In some garages fitting within the opening is necessary; the survey decides.
Why do people replace up-and-over doors?
Up-and-over doors swing out, so cars have to stop short of them; their springs and cables wear and become unsafe; they are rarely insulated; and many are dented or rusting. A sectional door fixes all four.
