A roller shutter garage door is made up of slim horizontal slats that are hinged together. The hinges provide a layer of protection, and many doors come with different levels of insulation. The door is operated by rolling the slats around a barrel directly up or down. This is done via a spring electric motor. These doors are great for saving space in the garage, because the door goes directly up into the barrel.
One of the notable advantages of a roller shutter garage door is its vertical opening mechanism. Unlike traditional swinging or overhead doors that require extra space in front of the garage, the roller shutter door opens vertically, moving straight up and down along the wall. This design eliminates the need for clearance in front of the garage, allowing you to make full use of the driveway space.
Furthermore, the barrel located at the top of the door serves a dual purpose. Firstly, it facilitates smooth and efficient operation by guiding the movement of the slats as they roll up or down. Secondly, it helps optimise space within the garage itself. By utilising the top section of the garage, which is typically unused, the roller shutter door ensures that this area remains free and unobstructed. This feature can be particularly beneficial for those seeking to maximise storage or parking space in their garage.
Overall, the combination of hinged slats, vertical opening mechanism, and the barrel assembly makes roller shutter garage doors a practical and space-saving choice for homeowners, providing convenience, security, and efficient use of available space.
Aluminium is a far more superior material compared to steel. This is especially true when it comes to insulation, as they have double-skin slats filled with foam to keep heat in the garage. If you are considering using your garage as a room then this can be very important when choosing your door.
Aluminium doors are also much lighter than steel. This means you do not need such a big motor for the operation, and less noise when the door opens or closes. All of our doors come with a wide range of colours to choose from, and some, such as the AlluGuard roller, even have the option of any RAL colour.
