Garage Doors

[scoobykev]

I'm in the process of building a garage and need to sort out the door now.

the door is 5m wide x 2.1m high, needs to be electric and insulated

i'm think on a roller door or possibly a sectional up an over, has anyone had one fitted or fitted one theirselves and could recommend a supplier or brand to use.

Thanks

Try to get a Hormann Garage Door - very strong, 10 year warranty and good value for money.  We used Easy Access Garage Doors, who were a bit rough and ready (left us to finish the cosmetics round the door) but were cheap and turned up when they said.

Try these companies, I have just built a garage/large shed myself and was considering the 7ft roller door for £240.

Hope it helps

5 meters wide, now thats what I call a garage Kev.

might need to chat to you sometime as I could be going down that route myself this year  as my garage is crap barely enough room to half open both doors when the car is in.

I have the same ones but with electric opening []. The fiances side is manual though and though door is nicely fitted and the lock seems very sturdy. Getting installed & aligned properly is the key. The 10 year warranty is fairly reassuring though

There are a few kits on Ebay too

Good luck with the hunt. I really need to get round to painting my walls and floors with some of the rubbery durable stuff.

Are you going into buisness lol

Im buzy trying to source some old roof beems, as I can reuse the sides from original garage,  so will just need to brick up a new back, and hamer on the new roof, then the door hunt will begine,

kev did you build it yerself?

[scoobykev]

yup, all my own hand so far.

will let others fit the door so i get the guarentee

i'll probably do the blockwork and roof tiling myself as well
