Navigating Garage Door Options: Expert Advice From JB Doors
The great thing about having so many garage door options to choose from is that you can find the perfect style, materials and features to suit your tastes. The bad thing about having so many garage door options to choose from is that you have to choose.
Making a choice isn’t always easy. That’s why we’re here to help.
As a family-run business with over 35 years of experience, JB Doors offers a comprehensive range of garage doors tailored to meet every need. This article will guide you through the options to help you make the right decision.
Up & Over Garage Doors
Up & over garage doors are renowned for their simplicity and reliability. They are a timeless choice that fits well with various property styles. As their name suggests, the up & over garage door is characterised by a single panel that tilts up and over into the garage ceiling. They are a classic style and are available in a variety of materials and finishes to suit all homes and homeowners.
Sectional Garage Doors
Sectional garage doors consist of multiple panels that slide up and overhead to make the most of the available space. They are ideal for driveways with limited room, as they allow for maximum use of the driveway and garage area. Sectional doors also offer superior insulation and security, making them a popular choice for those looking to improve their home’s energy efficiency (and reduce their energy bill!).
Roller Garage Doors
Roller garage doors are designed for convenience. They roll up around a drum above the door opening, making them perfect for garages with limited headroom or where a traditional swing-out door is not practical. Roller doors are also available in insulated versions, keeping your garage warm, comfortable and quiet.
Side Hinged Garage Doors
Side hinged garage doors offer a traditional appearance with modern functionality. They are ideal for those who use their garage for storage or as a workshop, as they provide easy access to the garage without having to open the entire door. These doors can be customised with various materials and designs to match your home’s exterior.
Considerations for Insulation and Automation
Interested in a new garage door? Once you’ve chosen your preferred style, there are a few more considerations to make your door the best it can be.
Insulation is a key factor for many homeowners, especially those using their garage as a functional space like a workshop or gym. You can opt for insulated roller doors or insulated side hinged doors, both of which keep the garage warmer in winter, cooler in summer and quieter all year round.
Automation adds convenience and security to your garage door, allowing for easy access with the push of a button. Most types of garage doors can be fitted with an electric opener, making them a practical choice for anyone looking to upgrade their garage door system. Or, you can go even further by controlling your garage door via a mobile app.
Choosing the right garage door involves considering the style of your home, your practical needs and the features you value most. At JB Doors, we offer a wide range of options, from the traditional to the modern, all designed with quality and reliability in mind.
