Side-opening garage doors are not many homeowners’ first thought when they are looking for a replacement garage door, but they often prove a winner when we show them all the colours and styles that are now available from manufacturers, including Cardale, Garador and Wessex.
One of the main reasons people change their garage door is that it has become too cumbersome to lift, especially for people who may be a little older than when they had their original garage door installed!
This problem is compounded when the garage door is in constant use, not just because the car is stored in the garage, but because it also houses garden tools and furniture, the washing machine, tumble dryer or freezer, and so on.
Customers will think an automated garage door is their only option. Not so. Side-opening garage doors are very easy to open…and you can just open one door at a time if you just need to collect something from the garage rather than get the car in or out.
Side-opening doors are often a suitable option for period properties, but there is no need to compromise on an original look as these doors come in wood, as well as steel and wood-effect glass reinforced polyester (GRP). People shy away from wood because it tends to warp, but these doors are fitted on a steel chassis to combat warping.
