Should I Get a New Garage Door? A Guide to Upgrading Your Home

When making the decision to renovate and update your home, many immediately think of redoing their bathroom or kitchen. But if you want an effortless but effective change, replacing your garage door is a great place to start. A new garage door can change the overall look of your home, becoming a showstopping focus. Older garage doors are less efficient than modern ones and also run the risk of looking dingy and worn after many years of use. With a modern garage door from The Garage Door Company, you will get a superior aluminium or steel product that is guaranteed to perform well for years to come. 

Improved Insulation and Enhanced Security

When you choose a new, modern garage door for your home, you enhance the security of your home. Older doors are easier to break through, making them a risk to your property. Made from steel or aluminium, some of the most secure materials on the market, these doors offer reinforcements to a potential weak entry point. Our doors are also fitted with the latest multi-point locking mechanisms and have features accredited by the Secured by Design initiative. The strong support brackets that secure our Steeline automatic roller doors also provide enhanced thermal insulation for your garage, which has a positive impact on the entire property. Our doors are made-to-measure, meaning that any risk of drafts and gaps is minimalised. Some designs are better insulated than others, such as our Sectional Garage Door and Roller Door, but all of our designs will reduce heat loss and drafts over outdated garage doors. If you want to lower your heat bills and your carbon footprint, a new garage door is a great place to start. 

The Convenience of Automatic Garage Doors

There are many advantages to the automation of your garage door, the greatest of which is convenience. Manual garage doors are perfectly fine, but automatic doors provide an ease of use that is unmatched. There are a lot of downsides to having a manual garage door. When trying to park in your home, you or a passenger need to stop the car, pull up the potentially heavy door, then park inside and have to pull the bulky door back into position. If there is rain or snow, this becomes a deeply unpleasant experience. By contrast, it’s clear that automatic garage doors are significantly more convenient. With just the push of a button, you can open your garage door, pulling your car out of unfavourable weather and into the garage without ever needing to leave your vehicle.

Our Range of Door Options

We have an extensive range of garage door options for you to choose from, giving you total control over the aesthetics of your home. 

Up and over doors are the most popular style of UK garage door, a no-nonsense design that requires minimal maintenance and boasts easy operation. These can be automated, which is useful as these doors are typically very large and therefore quite heavy. 

Our sectional garage door opens vertically like a standard garage door but doesn’t kick out the way an up and over door will. This makes it a great choice for driveways with limited space as you don’t have to move the vehicle away from the garage to open the door.  

If you want the best space-saving design for your garage, a roller door is probably the best option for you. These doors roll up vertically, the slats rolling up and folding around, meaning that you can open it when parked only a few inches from the door. Since the laths roll up, they are unlikely to impact lights, meters, or beams in your garage. 

Our side-hinged garage doors are our easiest operation and are very secure. They swing open in a ‘barn door’ style movement, making them simple to open and close. Because they swing open outwards, they will have no impact on lights or other infrastructure on your garage ceiling. 

Personnel garage doors are perfect for families who store a washing machine, freezer, bicycle, and more in their garage. It isn’t practical to open the entire garage door designed for a car when only a human needs entry. Personnel doors are a discreet solution to give you easy access to your garage. They can also function as back doors or doors to an outbuilding, giving you enhanced style and security for several areas on your property. 

We are very proud to now offer composite entry doors to our customers, increasing the security and performance of your entire property. Composite doors offer the strength and durability of timber while being protected to keep out damage from the elements.
