Each of them have advantages and disadvantages.
Roller garage doors are one of the most popular choices for home owners and it's not hard to see why.
The list below gives just five, out of many reasons why you should choose a roller garage door.
- Space saving: The doors roll vertically up and down instead opening inwards and outwards.
This means you get full use of your garage both inside and outside at all times.
It also means that your car can be parked within inches of the door without risk of collision.
They should be the first choice for those with small garages or garages that are directly on the road. - Huge range of colour choice:Roller garage doorsare available in a vast array of colours such as blue, green, black, brown white and many more.
They can also be finished with a wood look if you so wished.
So no matter what your taste and style you are sure to find something that you like and that suits your home. - Energy saving: These types of doors have no gaps around their perimeter.
This means it keeps the warmth in and the drafts out.
This is especially useful if you use your garage as an extra room in your house maybe for a gym, study or workshop and not just somewhere to park the car.
They are also great at keeping any unwanted pests and debris, such as leaves, twigs and stones out of your garage. - Safety:Roller garage door s come with auto locks as standard.
When the door closes the auto locks activate making it almost impossible to be opened.
If you go for an insulated door then all the laths are insulated and the inside and outside skin bonded together by a very high strength foam.
This makes the door extremely durable and hard to penetrate. - Self-installation: When you buy aroller garage dooryou will usually have the option to have them professionally fitted or to do it yourself.
Not every type of garage door can be fitted non-professionally but the roller door can be.
Fitting it yourself will save you money and of course you are able to do it in your own time and don't have to wait around for fitters.
