Identifying That You Need to Install a New Garage Door
For some homeowners, you will know that it’s time to install a new garage door or look for a replacement. If your garage door is in need of some TLC, is worn or is quite old – then you will want to think about a replacement or upgrade. We have compiled a list of checks that probably indicate that it’s time to consider purchasing a new garage door:
- Minor damage may indicate that you need a repair or a maintenance programme rather than an entire replacement. Dents on the door as well as scratches on the paint for example likely won’t cause structural damage. Structural damage is when you will need to think about installing a new door or carrying out a replacement.
- Moderate structural damage can become concerning – especially if the security of your door is compromised. Rust for example is a natural enemy that is very hard to combat, especially over extended periods of time. Rust can cause further elemental damage to the inside of your garage and could compromise the locking mechanisms and could allow thieves to gain entry. This is where you may want to think about a replacement.
- If your door ceases to open properly this could indicate that there is severe damage to the functioning components of the door. If you have any difficulties in the operation of your door then this can compromise your security and in a worst-case scenario – be dangerous when operated. It’s highly recommended to arrange for a replacement door should this happen.
Choosing the Right Kind of Garage Door For Your Requirements
There are a number of different garage doors available and the choice of the door will come down to your personal preferences. The types of garage doors that we have available are as follows:
- Up & Over Garage Doors – canopy garage doors are most often used for single panel garage doors and are contained within the door frame with no horizontal tracks giving a modern and streamlined look. Retractable garage doors are perfect for both single and double-sized up and over garage doors.
- Sectional Garage Doors – sectional panels that rise vertically. These doors are easy to automate and offer excellent thermal insulation and energy-saving properties.
- Roller Garage Doors – these garage doors open vertically and offer maximum space and storage for your garage and space for your driveway. This is because they open with compact mechanisms. Ideal for homeowners with larger vehicles.
