Whether choosing Steel, GRP or Timber there are a number of factors to consider with manufacturers all offering a slightly different range of options on Up & Over Garage Doors

Steel garage doors are typically factory powder coated and some manufacturers such as Garador offer as many as 18 standard colours. The manufacturers all use either RAL or BS numbers for their colour ranges, so it’s easy when thinking about matching your front door with your garage door.

Decograin finishes are available from most manufacturers. The foil coating which is applied to the door gives a timber effect finish. This is typically available in Golden Oak and Rosewood, making it the perfect match for your timber effect windows or facia.

When it comes to Timber garage doors there are a number of factors to consider, such as the type of wood being used, whether you want solid timber or a timber panel construction, as well as the colour or stain which is the perfect match for your requirements.

GRP or Glass Reinforced Plastic garage doors offer the look of timber but without some of the drawbacks that are associated with it. Often used in locations close to the sea GRP garage doors require little maintenance and does not rust.

There are 2 types of Mechanism that are used to operate Up & Over Garage Doors;

Canopy Door: This is only available on single size doors up to 8’ wide. It uses less space than the Retractable door option when opening, with one third of the door visibly protruding from the front of the garage.
Retractable Door: This is available on single size or double size garage doors up to 16’ wide. The door runs along tracks inside the garage which are held square with a central brace bar, allowing the door to completely retract into the garage.

This type of door was specifically designed to be automated.
