What materials are commonly used for garage doors?

Garage doors can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, steel, aluminium and fibreglass. Speak to our team of experts about the advantages and disadvantages of each material to find the right product for you.

How do I choose the right size garage door?

To choose the right size garage door, measure the width and height of the opening where the door will be installed. Make sure to measure both in multiple places to ensure accuracy. However, why not take advantage of our free, no-obligation site survey instead?

How do I maintain my garage door?

To maintain your garage door, regularly clean it with a mild soap and water solution and lubricate the moving parts with a silicone-based lubricant. Additionally, inspect the door for any damage or wear and tear, and address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.

What safety features should my automated garage door have?

Your garage door should have several safety features, including photoelectric sensors that detect objects in the door’s path and automatically reverse the door’s direction, as well as a manual release mechanism that allows you to open the door from the outside in case of a power outage or other emergency.
