Types of Garage Doors

Besides the material types and design styles, the biggest difference between garage doors comes from the way they are built and operate. The most common types available on the market include single panel, sectional and roller garage doors.

Single panel garage doors

Single panel garage doors are made of one solid piece that slides up-and-over in a space above your vehicle. The initial cost and also maintenance of single panel garage door solution is considerably cheaper than other types.

They are attached to the frame with one hinge on each side which allows them to swing easily even without garage door opener. Single panel garage doors were very popular until the sectional garage doors came around. The biggest disadvantage of single panel garage doors is that they require extra space in the front of a garage to operate.

Sectional garage doors

Sectional garage doors can be constructed of three to eight or more panels. Each panel is individually connected to the track on both sides. The sectional garage door simply slides up and overhead along the track while being operated by one of the various garage door opener systems. Although they occupy the same amount of internal space as single panel doors they do have some important advantages:

• Sectional garage doors slide straight up along the track so they do not require any extra space to open like single panel garage doors. You no longer have to worry about parking your car too close to garage when using sectional garage doors.
• Every panel has its own attachments to the track on both sides which greatly increases reliability and safety.

Roller garage doors

In the vast majority of cases, roller garage doors are made of corrugated steel, aluminum or fiberglass composites. Roller doors offer probably the neatest and least space consuming solution for your garage door system. Because of the fact that roller garage door literally rolls up into the compartment space above the garage door opening it does not require extra space for any garage door tracks.

Roller garage doors are known to deal very well with different weather conditions. Depending on your location and climate you may choose between insulated double skinned or non-isolated single skin roller garage doors.
