Types of garage door
There are plenty of options when it comes to garage doors, from traditional up and over models to sectional and roller doors. For an authentic look with maximum curb appeal, you could even opt for a side-hinged door. Whatever door you choose, make sure it allows you to use your garage the way you want to.
It’s worth considering an electric or automatic door too. While this might seem something of a luxury, this type of system isn’t as expensive as you might think, and it could turn your garage into a more appealing space.
There are four main types of garage door: up and over, sectional, roller and side-hinged doors.
- Up and over doors. By far the most common type of garage doors, up and over doors are reliable, easy to use and available in a variety of designs. These doors are fitted with a spring mechanism to prevent them from dropping down when raised and usually have a strong box steel sectional chassis for added support. Up and over doors are typically available in four materials – steel, timber, GRP and PVC – and can be fitted for manual or electric operation.
- Sectional doors. This type of door is split into sections which means minimum space is taken up by the door when it’s folded away. And that gives you more room in your garage. Sectional doors can be supplied with a range of insulation options and some manufacturers will include rubber weather seals to retain heat and keep water out. Sectional doors can be operated manually or via an electric motor.
- Roller doors. This garage door is formed from aluminium slats, which roll up and fit neatly into a box atop your garage door opening. Roller doors are ideal if you’re looking to save space in your garage. While they’re most frequently operated via an electric motor, these doors can also be opened and closed easily by hand thanks to their sprung system. As with other door types, a range of colour and finish options are available – even wood effect.
- Side-hinged doors. Opening outwards, these doors maximise space inside your garage. Side-hinged doors are built onto a steel frame, and it’s important to make sure they have weather seals to prevent wind and rain from entering your garage. These doors are usually available in both steel and timber, with different designs and colour options, so you can find the right style for your home.
The qualifications your garage door installer needs
Unlike work carried out on standard doors and windows, your professional won’t need FENSA certification. FENSA is the body that ensures compliant, competent and professional service in the double-glazing sector. The most important criteria to look for is plenty of experience installing and maintaining garage doors, with lots of customer references available too.
Other garage door installation FAQ's
Do I need planning permission to install a new garage door?
In most cases, you do not need planning permission to replace or install a garage door, provided the work falls under permitted development. However, if you live in a listed building or a designated conservation area, you will need to check with your local council as visual amenity guidelines apply. It is always best to ensure your chosen style is in keeping with the appearance of your home and neighbouring properties.
What insurance and warranties should a garage door installer have?
The main insurance requirement you’ll need to consider when having a garage door installed is public liability cover. This will protect you and your tradesperson against any damage caused during the fitting of your new garage door.
Most garage door systems will also come with a warranty. Make sure you’re provided with the necessary documents, so you’re covered in case anything goes wrong with your door.
Questions you should ask your strong garage door installer
Before hiring, you should ask the professional which door type they recommend for your specific garage space and request a portfolio of their previous installations. If you are opting for an automated system, ask what regular maintenance schedule they recommend to keep the electric motor running safely. Finally, always confirm whether they provide a written warranty on their installation work.

Spot on - couldn't want for better. Very professional job. Extremely courteous and good workmanship - the job was to replace some lights at my Mother's house, all done expertly and the old equipment and cabling were taken away. Highly recommended.
Hi, my name is Dean, I have been a carpenter now for more than 20 years. Most of my career I have worked for small building companies.

I'm a mobile Locksmith based in Ashford, Middlesex. I work in the following postcodes TW and KT but that doesn't mean that if you're in London or surrounding area you are too far. I also do some handyman jobs in between or if I'm in a certain area or the customer requests it. I take pride in the work that I do, so a job will never be done just to be done, it's either working as it should or it doesn't. Best regards
The locksmith that attended was honest and fair. He arrived within 35 minutes from confirming their service. The whole process was fast and efficient. Any other issues arise in the future; EPR Locksmith would be my first point of call.
