Sectional garage doors
Sectional doors are made of horizontal panels that lift straight up and run back under the ceiling. You can park right up to them, and most are insulated.

Why people choose sectional doors
- They open vertically, so you can park close to the door
- Insulated double-skin panels suit integral or attached garages
- They come in many finishes, including woodgrain effects, colours and windows
- Most are made to measure, so they can often fit non-standard openings
Things to check
- Headroom: the tracks and springs need space above the opening and along the ceiling
- Springs: torsion springs sit above the opening. They need servicing, and they're not a DIY job.
- Compare like for like: panel thickness, U-value, warranty and whether a motor is included

Common questions
Are sectional garage doors insulated?
Many are, with double-skin foam-filled panels. Ask for the U-value so you can compare quotes like for like.
How much headroom does a sectional door need?
It depends on the track system. Some low-headroom options exist. A specialist will measure your garage before quoting.
Can a sectional door replace my up-and-over door?
Usually, yes. They're made to measure and can often fit the existing opening, either inside or behind it.
