Many garages have a roller shutter door because it is considered the best option. The use of this type of garage doors has a number of advantages, including easy to install and convenient to operate.
If you are considering purchasing a roller shutter garage door, you may be wondering if your garage doorway is too large or too small to have one installed. Roller doors come in a variety of sizes, which means they can be fitted and installed onto garages of all sizes. With large garage doors- roller style doors are a great option as the opening and closing of the door can be motorised, meaning a heavy door can be opened and closed with ease.
For smaller garages, roller shutters are still the best garage door style to use. They require very little space from the side of the garage, meaning that they do not need a wide opening to operate or fit into. Roller doors can be used in garages which have an opening width as small as two metres and a height no less than 2.1 metres high.
They’re also very easy to install onto these types of spaces with each one being custom made to suit your requirements and measurements. For anyone who has a physically demanding job or any kind of injury which makes manual labour difficult, a motorised roller shutter is a wonderful solution for taking away all of this stress and strain whilst providing a durable but aesthetically pleasing door.
A roller shutter door is a secure and durable door option for any garage, at home or in a workplace. Not only does this type of door add security to the garage it provides easy access with minimal effort in and out of the garage.
Roller shutters, due to their materials and design weight, can carry much more than similar type doors such as sectional or up-and-over door types. This means that they will last just as long as those types of door but with added benefits such as security and noise insulation. Roller shutters are an increasingly popular product for garages within homes and commercial garages.
Roller shutter doors are not only durable but come in a huge variety of designs which will enhance the aesthetic of your existing garage.
There are many roller shutters on the market today, but they can be divided into two main types – single and tandem. Single roller doors are designed to operate one large section of door only. A single sliding action opens this type of door. They are suitable for garages up to 5m wide and offer good protection against damage due to elements such as weather or wind blast. However if you have a very high-wind area where you live then maybe consider upgrading to the tandem type instead, which is more suited for heavy duty use in tough conditions.
Modern roller shutter doors can be designed in a range of sizes and they also provide excellent thermal insulation and soundproofing qualities. The size of the door opening for your garage doesn’t matter too much as long as you have enough space at each side to open the roller shutter door fully when required.
Roller shutter doors are strong and durable but they require a reasonable amount of space, so some garages are not suitable for them. It is also very difficult to install these doors yourself, so it is important to get a specialist to fit and instal the door for you.
If you think that your garage would be perfect for roller doors, then there are several things you should consider before making the decision to purchase one. Your garage door must be large enough to accommodate the door when it is opened. If the opening width exceeds 6 feet (72 inches) or more than 4 feet (48 inches) high, then this type of door will not fit in the opening of the garage. You can get smaller models that do not exceed these dimensions, but they tend to be less solid and durable since they do not have as many parts and reinforcements. It is always worth discussing your requirements with a specialist and they should be able to accommodate and provide you with a well fitted roller shutter door for your home or workplace.
