Sectional doors are very popular. Most companies are now installing sectional doors on new projects. In fact, many homeowners today choose to replace their existing garage door with a sectional door for several reasons.
Sectional doors offer great benefits that homeowners love such as improved curb appeal. Sectional garage doors match the overall exterior of your home and enhance its appearance. It also creates space between the house and the garage which gives it a larger look. The size of a sectional door is another added advantage since they can be made in almost any width up to 8 feet wide (enough room for most vehicles). For cars that have very low ground clearance, it may be necessary to install an automatic garage door opener lift system. This type of system makes lifting very easy especially when compared to other types like the up and over door which can be very difficult to operate manually in high winds.

Are sectional doors different to roller doors?
Yes. Roller door panels move up and down whereas a sectional garage door is made of sections that open outward and downward into their own tracks that run the entire length of the garage opening (up to 10m). These sections each have two wheels on one end allowing it to slide smoothly along its track while remaining level with the rest of the system. This makes them much easier to use than traditional roller doors as you don’t have to lift each panel individually. They’re also safer for your car because there’s no risk of having a heavy steel panel leaning against your vehicle when you close it.
Sectional doors can be controlled by a remote so you don’t even need to leave your vehicle to open your garage. This is a much better option than manual operation because it’s convenient and safe. Standard sectional doors are typically made of aluminium which makes them lightweight and easy to manoeuvre as well as corrosion resistant. You should always have a professional inspect the door before you install it in case there is any damage that needs attention.
If your house is attached to other houses (called townhouses) or if there’s another garage nearby, then garage doors with windows can enhance the curb appeal of your home by allowing you to add some natural light to rooms – they’re also great for adding decoration like Christmas lights during holidays. A glass garage door can be used as both an exterior and interior decorative element. They give you an opportunity to select from a wide range of materials so you can get one that matches your decorating preferences.
