All garage owners face
this choice. Choosing the right
garage door is not always easy. What
should you remember when deciding on a hinged gate, and what about - choosing a
sectional door?
Will it fit?
The narrowest garage
doors have a width of 2.3 m , but a comfortable, trouble-free
entry to the garage will provide us with a wider gate, for example with a width
of 2.5-2.7 m . In
order to be able to mount the hinged gate, we need to find some places in the
driveway to the opening gate wings. If
the driveway is short, there may be a problem with it.
Sectional door opening
does not need space in the driveway. This
is guaranteed by the sectional structure of the sash, thanks to which it can
bend during opening and closing.
Arguments for choosing a
revolving gate
• Hinged doors are
cheaper than segmented ones;
• Simple design
guarantees their reliability;
• Tilting gates can be
found on the market, which can be insulated in a simple way if necessary.
• These gates are
manufactured in many colors, without any problems they can be selected, for
example, to the color of the façade.
• Hinged doors can be
mounted in the light of the opening (facing the garage walls).
Advantages of sectional
doors
• Does not need space on
the vehicle, so it can be installed in garages, which are located directly on
the street;
• The choice of designs
and finishes for sectional doors is very large;
• Good thermal and
acoustic insulation (gate segments are filled with polyurethane foam, they are
suitable for heated garages;
• Such a gate will work
in every garage, the shape of the hole has no meaning in this case - it can
even be rounded.
