TYPES OF ELECTRIC GARAGE DOOR
Due to the range of formats that electric garage doors come in , a direct comparison to manual doors isn ’ t enough to explain their benefits . Here we delve into the most popular types of electric garage doors and the benefits of each one .
Roller Shutter
Roller shutter garage doors are perhaps the mainstay of electric garage doors . Offering all the benefits we ’ ve already talked about , roller garage doors fold upwards into themselves , saving valuable garage space in the process . These garage doors are made of slats , which not only help it save space , they also help your security . These slats are designed in such a way that they will not move unless the electric system that governs them is activated . Some roller garage doors ( like ours !) come with side guides that help the door descend laterally . This ensures a perfect fit between the door and the opening . This keeps heat in and any security threats out .
Side-hinged
Side-hinged electric garage doors offer a more traditional ‘ barn door ’ look , which is popular with homes that suit that style . Side-hinged doors offer a similarly good level of security as roller shutter doors , but they have a few drawbacks too . Chiefly , side-hinged garage doors need a lot of space in order to open and close . They swing shut , just like normal doors do . If you ’ re looking to save space in your garage , this might not be the right choice . But if you ’ ve got the space , side-hinged doors can be a very stylish choice . Side-hinged garage doors do not need to ascend or descend , so they can be made extra thick and heavy to help your security . It all depends on whether you have the space .
Sectional
Sectional garage doors are almost a cross between roller shutter garage doors and manual lift doors . They are composed of multiple large panels rather than the many slats of a roller door . They function in a similar way , but instead of rolling up into itself , a sectional garage door will run along rails and position itself on the ceiling above the door like a manual door does . This saves space just like a roller door , but needs to be installed into the ceiling like a manual door . As with all types of electric garage door , sectional doors are good for security and for retaining heat . They tend to be used as an electric alternative to the old up-and-over style , which is what they most resemble .
