Selecting the right garage door for your property doesn’t have to be a tough decision. With multiple designs and specifications to choose from, New Image Garage Doors can help facilitate the perfect installation to meet your home’s needs. In this article, we’ll look at the three most popular residential garage doors in Melbourne and discuss the associated benefits for each one.
Roller Garage Door
Let’s start with the ubiquitous roller door. As the name suggests, the roller door opens and closes via a ‘track and roll’ mechanism that forms around a cylindrical barrel at the top of the door.
Its prominent ribbed design construction is designed for its long lasting durability, making it a very appealing option for most exterior and driveway facades. At New Image Garage Doors, we find the roller door is a very popular option amongst homeowners - mainly for it’s affordability, streamlined design and easy to use functions.
Roller Door Benefits:
- Can be operated as a manual or automatic door option
- Constructed of Colorbond Steel for maximum strength
- Sleek designs to suit a variety of contemporary home facades
- Can fit almost any sized opening & is customised to suit small & larger spaces
Panel / Sectional Garage Doors
Add a touch of modern flair with a sectional garage door. Featuring a hinged horizontal panel design (usually with 4-5 panels) - it slides and folds neatly under the ceiling when activated. Sectional doors are considered one of the best quality doors for security and privacy reasons. As well as providing a buffer of protection against the harsh weather elements, its unique finish is what sets it apart from other garage doors. If you want to make a bold design statement, you can’t go wrong with a sectional door for it’s sleek, stylish and modern vibe.
Sectional Door Benefits:
- Offers a more contemporary feel compared to other garage doors
- Added inclusions such as ventilation grilles, small windows & insulation
- Comes in a variety of styles, colours & design specifications
- Commonly used as an automatic door opener rather than manual operation
Tilt Door
Designed as a single solid panel, a tilt door is ideal for smaller garage spaces. Given that it swings ‘in and out’ in one single swoop, it’s super easy to operate manually. You can also have an automatic door option, if that suits you better. Furthermore, its flexible design capabilities means a wide range of cladding materials can be used on the exterior including copper, plywood, aluminium and perspex.
The framework itself can also be constructed to match the type of material used - taking into consideration the limitations of weight, depth and custom fixtures. Whichever type of door automation system you go for, our skilled installers can recommend the most suitable product to suit the functionality of your property.
Tilt Door Benefits:
- Functional garage door design
- Comes with optional extras such as windows & grilles
- Opens conveniently as one single panel
- Most suitable for smaller garage areas
