A garage door is much more than just an entry point for your car; it is a key part of your home’s security, insulation and kerb appeal. Whether you’re building a new property or upgrading an old door, it is important to understand what features every garage door should offer.
In this article, the team here at Rollerdor will take a closer look at the top five things your garage door should provide to ensure you get the best performance and longevity.
Quality materialsÂ
First and foremost, it’s vital that the garage door you choose is made from high-quality, robust materials. A durable door will make sure the door stands up to daily use and is also resistant to adverse weather conditions and potential break-ins.
At Rollerdor, all our products are manufactured from the highest quality aluminium that is foam-filled for additional strength and insulation. What’s more, all our doors are UKCA marked, which demonstrates their quality and safety. The use of high-quality materials also adds to the aesthetic of your home, providing a smooth look. With doors available in all colour options, your new door will seamlessly complement your home’s exterior design.
Effective insulationÂ
Thermal performance is sometimes overlooked when choosing a new garage door, but it is extremely important, especially if the garage is connected to your house. A well-insulated door helps keep your garage warmer in winter and cooler in summer. This makes your property more energy efficient and can even result in lower heating bills.
All the doors we supply at Rollerdor utilise double-skinned aluminum slats that are filled with foam. These can also be paired with floor seals that close any gaps for maximum insulation.
Security featuresÂ
A garage door should act as a strong barrier to your property. Security starts with the strength of your door’s material, but the unique design of roller garage doors makes them harder to break into when compared with traditional up-and-over doors.
This is because their curtain has fewer weak points, especially when paired with additional features like locking straps and Somfy accessories.
Smooth operationÂ
Nobody wants their garage door to open in a jerky manner. Smooth, reliable operation is the hallmark of a high-quality door. The electric roller garage doors we supply come with remote controls that make opening and closing the door effortless.
Our doors retract neatly into a compact box above the opening, maximising space while ensuring operation is as smooth as possible.
Warranty and aftercareÂ
Even the highest quality doors should come with a warranty and aftercare for your peace of mind. This will give you the confidence that the manufacturer stands behind their product and gives you reassurance that any aftercare will be handled smoothly.
At Rollerdor, we offer a two-year warranty on all our products. We also take pride in our high level of customer service, and our expert team are always on hand to assist with any queries you may have.
We combine high-quality materials with the best level of customer care, supplying our leading roller garage doors to customers nationwide. For more information or to get a quote for your new door, contact our team today.
