All You Need To Know About Garage Doors
Titan Garage Doors Coquitlam the different types of garage doors include tilt-up, sectional, rolling up and swing-up garage doors. Tilt-up garage doors are sliding doors with a tilt in the middle section, which enables you to have either the interior or exterior doors open. Sectional garage doors are a single panel door that opens on the top of the lintels and about half inside out of the garage and about half inside. These doors need less headroom over the lintels than sliding sectional doors do. Also available in aluminium, timber (Aluzinc), fibreglass steel.
garage doors vancouver bc rolling Up or swing-up garage doors are similar to tilt-up doors, but they are installed at the wall and are then extended outwards on rollers, so they don't require you to have any lintels in place. They are available as single, double and sectional. These doors are also available as tie-down doors (to prevent the door closing when the garage door is closed), or pre-closet doors (which allow you to open the door from the inside). These overhead doors can also be roller shutters, and the same manufacturers provide wood as well as aluminium and fibreglass roller shutters.
Wood is the most common material used in making garage doors. Aluminium is a popular choice for sectional garage doors because of its durability, lightweight, strength and fire resistance. However it is possible to get a wood that is a mixture of aluminium and fibreglass, called clopay. Clopay is very light, strong and durable.
It is possible to install wood panels to make an overhead garage door. However this is more complicated than the installation of a roller shutter, and therefore many people choose to purchase and install the garage doors made from aluminium or fibreglass. There are many garage door manufacturers, and you should be able to find the name of a good company in your local area by doing a Google search.
You will also need to do some research into the types of materials that garage door manufacturers use. For example, steel doors are extremely durable, but they are also highly prone to rusting. Aluminum is less susceptible to corrosion and can also be treated to have anti-corrosion properties. Fibreglass is the strongest and most durable, but it is also the most difficult to install, and therefore it tends not to be used in homes where the main entrance is close to the garden.
For the cost effectiveness of your door, you may prefer to go with insulated doors. There are two main types of insulation for garage doors - non-metallic and metallic. Non-metallic doors consist of special coatings of foam and fibreglass over an aluminum skin. This creates an extremely strong barrier, which stops heat being conducted through the door. Unfortunately, these doors can be expensive and not suitable for all circumstances.
