Roller Garage Doors This is another one of our favourite doors and we get asked for these a lot!

This is another one of our favourite doors and we get asked for these a lot! We generally fit SWS roller doors or those from Hormann.

The roller door market is littered with manufacturers, so please do check out what you are buying and from which company. Prices vary hugely and, in our experience, you get what you pay for.

A roller garage door consists of a curtain of horizontal aluminium slats that smoothly open vertically by rotating around a barrel. The benefit of a roller door is the vertical operation and compact nature of the door curtain once it is fully opened.

The slat sizes are either 55mm or 77mm. Ideally, we always try to fit the 77mm slat as it is bigger and considerably thicker than the 55mm slat. The only reason for using the 55mm would be lack of headroom. The 55mm rolls up into a roll of 205mm by 205mm. The 77mm rolls up into a roll of 300mm by 300mm. These rolls can either be boxed in or left open.

There is no standard size for a roller door as they are all made to measure. They also come in a variety of standard colours, which are generic across the manufacturers. The manufacturers we use also offer a customisation service where a RAL number is supplied, and the door is coloured to this bespoke specification.

In our opinion, the SWS 77mm slat is the market leader. They are always trying to improve their design. They offer three models: the LT which is the standard roller door and then two upgraded doors – the Original and the Excel – both of which have Secured by Design accreditation. Please do read more on their website and in their brochure. There is also a video that is worth watching.

We also fit Hörmann and Garador roller garage doors. These are built like tanks. They have a different way of working compared to the traditional roller door. We won’t bore you with the details here. Please get in touch with us and we can explain.

South East Garage Doors specialises in the supply and installation of high quality roller doors and provide their customers with only the best roller doors on the market.

Our doors are made from strong and durable materials and run in guides, which run up the side so that as the door opens, it rolls up above the opening, allowing for greater use of the garage space. Roller garage doors rise vertically without swinging outwards into the driveway and are ideal when you need to park close to the garage door. Extra benefits also include improved insulation and security for added peace of mind.
