Here in the UK, up and over garage doors are the most popular choice when it comes to choosing a garage door. With an extensive range of colours, finishes and materials for you to choose from, they are an incredibly versatile solution for just about all budgets.
At Automated Garage Doors and Gates we supply and install a choice of two types of up and over garage door – retractable and canopy.
Canopy Doors
The canopy door gets its name from the fact that around a third of the door will usually protrude from the entrance of your garage to form a canopy. These doors are incredibly popular and we would recommend them if you are looking for a single panel door to fill an opening of up to 8ft in width.
Unlike a retractable garage door, they are slightly more difficult to convert to electric operation. To do so would require extra equipment and for that reason we would usually advise that customers looking for an electric single panel door opt for a retractable door.
Retractable Doors
If the opening of your garage is larger than 8ft wide and you are looking for a single panel door, we would always recommend that you opt for a retractable door. These reliable, single panel doors are one of the most popular choices among homeowners in the UK. They can either be supplied ready equipped with electric operation, or can be easily converted at a later date.
Our retractable garage doors are available in a choice of three designs to suit the appearance of both period and contemporary properties.
•
Steel: If you have a modern property, the sleek and stylish appearance of a steel door will perfectly complement the look of your home. Choose from one of 17 standard colours to ensure it blends seamlessly.
•
Timber: The perfect choice for period properties. Over time every timber door will age and weather in its own unique way, giving your garage its own individual look and charm.
•
GRP: For a stylish, yet low maintenance, door it pays to choose GRP. Imitating the beauty of a natural timber finish, but with the strength of a steel door, your GRP garage door will continue to look great for many years to come.
