Roller Garage Doors

Roller garage doors are made from horizontal, interlocking slats, similar to a venetian blind. When you pull the door upwards, the slats are guided along tracks at the sides of the garage opening and then roll tightly around a cylindrical barrel above. In the case of electric roller garage doors, a motor initiates and controls the movement.

Roller doors are highly secure, as long as you choose a good quality alternative and have it expertly fitted. The best roller doors have tamper-proof security mechanisms and those provided by Door Warehouse come with a 10-year guarantee to attest to their quality.

Roller and sectional garage doors are quite similar. The main differences are that the latter are made of larger sections rather than narrow slats, so can’t roll up into a barrel or cassette. Instead, they’re guided by tracks to sit horizontally beneath the garage ceiling once opened.

One of the biggest advantages of roller shutter garage doors is that they need less space than other alternatives, both inside and outside your garage. They open vertically, meaning you don’t have to leave driveway clearance and roll up into a tight barrel above the opening.

You can usually get roller garage doors to fit any opening you need. Expert suppliers such as Door Warehouse will be able to take your specifications and provide a made-to-measure roller garage door option for you.

While it’s possible to fit a roller garage door yourself, it’s often not advisable. Any slight error in installation can cause notable issues in its operation that may get worse over time, as well as impacting both the security and insulation provided by your roller garage door.

Roller garage door prices vary according to factors such as size, materials, and manner of operation. For instance, electric roller garage door prices will likely be higher than those of manual roller garage doors. Get in touch with Door Warehouse, and we’ll provide a clear, itemised quote.
