Installing or replacing your garage door or shutter: the most popular models

Regardless of whether you need your garage door or shutter installed or replaced, an experienced professional, after a preliminary inspection, will be able to advise you on the best model for your needs.

Typically, the most commonly installed models are:

The garage door is inexpensive and features a roller that virtually minimizes its size, as the shutter disappears into a dedicated box. Alternatively, side guides can be attached to allow it to slide along the ceiling, achieving the same effect. The shutter is typically made of metal or PVC, materials that weigh differently when considering a garage door.

The overhead door

Another classic solution, but very expensive, especially if you opt for an aluminum model. Its modular design consists of multiple identically sized sections that, when joined, form the frame. Its unique feature is that it swings outward, taking up some height but not obstructing the garage entrance.

The door or sectional door  

 Here too, the door is made up of various modules, and its movement is constrained within lateral guides that slide the frame up to the ceiling, minimizing its overall dimensions.

The folding door

which, like interior doors, is made of slats of varying thicknesses that fold over each other like an accordion, taking up very little space at the side of the frame. It is typical of industrial settings and provides a good degree of thermal insulation.

A single- or double-leaf door

typically swings open at a 90-degree angle. This solution is rarely used these days due to the significant space it takes up when opened.

opening methods and accessories

When requesting the installation or replacement of your garage door or shutter, you can always opt for an automatic opening system, though this will require installing an electric motor connected to your home's wiring. This obviously means that if the necessary lighting isn't present, having to hire an electrician and carry out masonry work will inevitably affect the garage door estimate.

Other additional items you may require along with the installation or replacement of your garage door or shutter include. The armouring of the window frame is to increase its resistance to break-in attempts. Its connection to the home automation system, so as to control its opening and closing from a smartphone or tablet, or set predefined times. The installation of additional locks, such as electronic ones or models equipped with a security cylinder, is always intended to increase the security of your garage.
