Before starting with a new garage door installation, you must select a suitable door type for your garage.
There are 4 major types of garage doors available on the market:
Retractable garage doors
These doors are easy to install. The tracks are fitted at the top of the door to support it and the springs are fitted to the side frames. With the help of an electronic opener, operating them becomes easier. When these doors are opened, they swing outwards and then slide into the ceiling of the garage. You can select an automatic latching and de-latching system for the proper working of your door. Cons: you can’t park your vehicle close to the garage door.
Sectional garage doors
These doors do not require the door frames provides increased drive-through width. Sectional garage door open by rising vertically upwards and then slide backward into the ceiling of your door. This type of door is mainly manufactured in steel but timber-made versions are also available. Sectional doors are also easy to operate and automated motors make the process further easier.
Rolling garage doors
The rollup garage doors also rise vertically up when opened but they do not slide into the ceiling of the door. Instead, they get rolled up on a spindle which is located in the ceiling space. It is manufactured from thin walled slats which may or may not have an insulating core depending on the buyers’ choice. Typically, the rollup doors are made up of aluminum and steel. The installation process of roller doors is easy but it requires the assistance of second person for lifting up the curtain and fitting it into the support brackets.
Canopy garage doors
The functioning of the canopy doors is similar to that of the retractable doors however it does not swing outward as much. Also when they slide into the ceiling, one-third part of the door is left over-hanged outwards. These doors are not longer recommended because they are not suited for the automated operation.
