Let's start at square one by defining a sectional door and how it differs from other garage door types. In short, a sectional garage door's signature feature is the sturdy panels that make up the door. When the door operates, these panels run on rails vertically upwards and then horizontally across the garage ceiling.
Sectional garage doors usually come with an automated door opener which provides a more convenient, safer, and easier-to-use garage door for your home. Available in a variety of styles, sectional garage doors are also an aesthetically pleasing feature that can be adapted to a wide range of home designs.
Your garage door is a key feature of your home's facade and influential in its overall street appeal. It not only creates the impression your house makes on you and your guests but can even increase its property value. Finding a door to match the rest of your house's style is key to creating the ideal facade for your home.
We have a wide range of sectional door design styles, including:
Along with choosing the right style of door, it's important to choose the right colour matching, upgrades, and customisation options to ensure you have the perfect door for your house. We have many options, including the Colorbond, DecoWood, and UniCote LUX ranges, so that you can create the ideal sectional garage door design for your facade.
