Q: What are the benefits of a sectional garage door?
A: If you’re like most homeowners, you probably have a sectional garage door. And what’s interesting to consider is that the garage door on your home often goes unappreciated until it stops working properly and you need to replace it. You rely on your garage door every day to open and close how it should - but when it doesn’t, you’ve got a big problem on your hands - especially if your vehicle is stuck in your garage and you can’t get it out!
If you’ve been noticing some issues with your garage door (or your garage door is old), it’s better to replace it before it stops working completely. So, while you’re shopping for a new garage door, there are some key benefits you can gain by selecting the best sectional door for your home.
#1: Helps Conserve Energy
Insulated garage doors are perfect for all climates. The insulation helps reduce energy transfer between hot or cold air inside the garage and hot or cold air outdoors. If you use your garage for more than parking your cars, you can’t go wrong with an insulated sectional garage door.
#2: Better Security
Sectional garage doors make it harder for intruders to get into your home. Each section closes firmly together with few exposed pivot points. Optional features on sectional garage doors could include smart technology features that alert you when the door has been opened or is left open accidentally.
#3: Perfect for Short Driveways
If you have a short driveway, you don’t have to wait in the street when opening or closing the garage door. Since a sectional door opens and folds upwards (rather than straight out), it won’t get in the way of your vehicle.
#4: Saves Space in Smaller Garages
If you have a small garage with tight spaces, a sectional garage door is a great choice, as it utilizes the space above your vehicle, leaving the sides free and clear to get in or out of your vehicle.
#5: Fits Any Size Garage Opening
Sectional doors come in all sizes to fit any size garage opening, whether you need two smaller garage doors or a single large garage door. Plus, sectional garage doors work well with dome-shaped or arched garage openings.
#6: Adds Curb Appeal to Your Home
With the wide range of designs and colours available with R-W garage doors, it’s easy to find one that will make your home more attractive and add to its curb appeal. Additionally, it’ll be easy to have a consistent exterior design theme and match your garage door to your front door, siding and window trim.
