ABOUT GARAGE DOORS

 

Garage doors are available in several types, including upward opening, sectional, roller, and side rolling. It is important to check the required clearance, as some designs will limit the space within the garage.

 

Garage doors are available in steel, aluminium, fiberglass, and timber. They may be supplied in a wide range of colors and styles, traditional and contemporary. All can be fitted with automatic garage door openers.
