Sectional garage doors are the most popular type of garage doors for residential homes. If you’re chasing a garage door which is going to be used at a residential property (a house, or unit), it is highly likely that a sectional garage door is going to be your best bet.

Sectional doors have more design and colour finish options than roller doors as well as offering better strength and drive through clearance.

What is a sectional garage door?

Sectional garage doors are the most popular type of garage doors for residential homes. Basically Sectional Doors are a series of panels (normally 4-5) stacked and hinged together. They require less head room that roller doors so achieve better drive through clearance. Sectional doors also offer options like windows that can enhance the look of the door as well as letting light into your garage.

Regardless of your home’s exterior and style of architecture, a sectional garage door will enhance the home’s overall look. Our team at Eden Roc Garage Doors are here to provide you with the advice you need when it comes to choosing sectional garage doors that are most appropriate for your Perth home.

Sectional garage doors are the popular choice for all residential applications. All doors are available in all colour varieties to suit your home’s aesthetic.

Cost

Cost is a big factor to consider when deciding between the style of your garage door. Sectional garage doors tend to be slightly more expensive to purchase than standard roller doors. But, should the sectional door become damaged as a result of an impact, they are actually cheaper to repair. This is because individual sectional door panels can be removed and replaced should they become damaged. A damaged roller door will require a complete replacement of the entire door, resulting in higher repair costs, despite a cheaper initial purchase. 

Strength

Strength is a consideration for those in residential areas who value the safety and security of their families, homes, vehicles and belongings.
Sectional garage doors are stronger than roller garage doors and are more difficult to breach should an intruder or burglar attempt to gain access.

Pre-existing set-up

Your pre-existing set-up may determine which type of door you are required to purchase. If you previously had a certain type of garage door which you are simply replacing, having a functional motor for that type of door would lend itself greatly to simply getting a new door of that type. Garage door motors can be several hundred dollars, and if you can re-use your existing motor, you can save a lot of money by sticking with the type of garage door you have had previously.

Sectional garage door colour and style options

Our sectional doors come in a variety of colours to match your home’s colour scheme and style. Our sectional garage doors are available in any Colorbond colour. But, if you’re looking to have a specific non-standard Colorbond colour, you have the option to powder coat your door. Powder coating is a form of dry-paint that’s applied after-the-fact.

Sectional garage door repair and service

Many homeowners who have a sectional garage door do not maintain their door and only pay attention to it when a problem arises, which is usually when the door is no longer working. Sectional garage doors are relatively cheap and easy to repair. This is because sectional garage doors are made from a number of interchangeable panels. These panels can be replaced individually if they become damaged without the need to replace the entire door.

These panels are connected to by garage door hinges. These hinges are moving parts which also bear the weight of the panels which hang below them. Hinges are the most common part to break and require replacement.

Sectional garage doors can typically weigh over 60 kilograms for single garage doors and over 100 kgs for double garage doors. This is a huge weight which needs to be managed carefully. Additionally, a major component of sectional garage doors is the torsion spring. Torsion springs are designed to take the strain of the garage door weight. When these springs are installed and tensioned as to take the strain of the door’s weight, the springs are very tightly wound. A huge amount of force is contained within the tensioned spring which can lead to serious injury to whoever or whatever is caught by the spring should that force be released.

For these reasons, it is not recommended that garage door repair and maintenance be carried out by anyone other than a qualified garage door technician.

How often should you service your sectional garage door?

It is recommended that sectional garage doors are serviced at least every two years

Your Sectional Garage Doors has springs that counter balance the weight of the door. Not servicing you door means as the spring lose tension, extra pressure is put on your motor and other components.

Doing so will prevent issues from arising, and ensure that small problems do not escalate and become larger, costly and cause inconvenient issues down the line.

If you are uncertain when your next garage door service is due, check the inside of your door. It is very likely that when the garage door was installed the technician left a sticker to tell you when the door’s next service is due.
