Heathfield Roller Garage Doors
Roller garage doors are the ideal option if you have some roof clearance immediately inside your Heathfield garage. They use a single curtain that rolls up on a spindle, into the ceiling space.
Roller doors generally only need a small amount of clear brickwork on the sides of the entrance and a minimum of 20cm (8in) ceiling clearance above the underside of the lintel. The entire door rises vertically upwards and then rolls up out of the way.
No door frame is required for a roller garage door, which increases the available drive-through width. Roller doors are manufactured in Steel or Aluminium and are either a single sheet or, more commonly, hinged slats. Manual and electric versions are available.

Heathfield Roller Garage Door Materials
The range of roll-up garage doors has options for both steel and aluminium. Each material has its own benefits:
Aluminium Roller Garage Doors
An alloy roller garage door is comprised of insulated aluminium slats, with a similar appearance to the automatic shutters seen on commercial properties. The individual aluminium slats hook together and roll around a steel barrel, taking up a small amount of space above the door frame.
In Heathfield, aluminium roller garage doors are generally favoured over the cheaper steel versions due to their lightness, durability and corrosion resistance. The double-skinned construction also means insulation and sealing is superior to most other types of the garage door.
Steel Roller Doors
An popular economical solution, steel garage doors are galvanised for protection against the Heathfield weather. A polyester powder coating of dry paint particles is applied to both sides of the garage door, then baked in an oven. This causes the powder to melt and harden into a tough, smooth finish. Available in a massive range of colours to match your Heathfield property.Guaranteed Premium Quality Roller Garage Doors

Aluminium roller garage doors are the most popular choice. Robust and durable, an aluminium door is also much lighter than other hard metals such as steel. With less of a load placed on the door’s opening mechanisms, it is likely to offer a longer service life.
Garage door seals work by forming a tight, secure barrier around the door itself. Even when the garage door is shut, you might notice slight breezes getting through to the inside.
If you have purchased a roller garage door, then the good news is that you don’t need a new frame to install it. Roller garage doors can affix to the brickwork opening of the garage, – either on the back of it or between.
Assuming you don’t back your car into it, your garage door should last, on average, 20-30 years, while garage door openers should be remain operative for between 10-15 years.
Roller shutter doors are incredibly secure, as the curtain is held in place by the guide runners. The straps which lift the door are also responsible for pressing down on the curtain when closed, inhibiting movement in any direction.
Are your doors weatherproof? Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a weatherproof door as the components need to be able to open and close, making a complete seal impossible.
Although steel, single-skin roller doors have individual benefits for particular applications, aluminium roller garage doors are the best option for insulation and security due to the increased thickness of the door leaf.
