Looking to buy a new garage door for your Queensland home? Picking the right option isn't easy. Not only is it vital to find a garage door style to suit the look of your home, it also needs to offer the functionality you require. On top of that, Queensland brings heat and freak weather in equal measures - and you need a garage door that can stand the test of a strong storm. Don't worry, though - we've got you covered. In this article, we'll explore the 2 types of garage doors that are ideal for Queensland homes.
1. Sectional Garage Doors
Keen to make the most of your garage space? Look no further than sectional garage doors. Sometimes known as “panel” doors, sectional garage doors are designed to save space by lifting upwards and resting parallel with the garage ceiling. This is different from traditional tilting garage doors that lift outwards and can eat into your drive space. Instead of being made up of a single sheet of material, sectional garage doors, as the name suggests, are made up of segmented panels. These doors can be customized to fit almost any design of garage.
