What material is your garage door made of?

At Empire Garage Doors, we are experts in repairing and maintaining a diverse selection of garage doors constructed from different materials, including timber, steel, ABS, and GRP fibreglass. Rest assured that your Brighton garage door will be in excellent condition after our professional repair and maintenance service!

Timber Garage Door Maintenance 

Commonly, construction projects utilise sustainable materials with FSC certification, such as solid cedar and marine plywood, to promote environmental responsibility.

To keep your wooden garage door in mint condition, it's crucial to adhere to the manufacturer's recommended instructions for maintaining its strength and longevity. This includes regularly using a suggested preservative to prevent potential decay and fading.

GRP Fibreglass Garage Door Repair  

For those seeking a hassle-free, low maintenance option, Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP) could be the perfect solution.

Not only are these garage doors maintenance-free, but they also offer exceptional strength and durability. If you happen to notice any imperfections, a quick washing with warm soapy water will easily take care of them.

ABS Garage Door Issues 

ABS plastic doors are highly praised for their outstanding resilience, minimal maintenance needs, and comprehensive manufacturer's guarantee against damage.

Minor damages can easily be resolved through cleaning and sanding, while larger and more intricate issues like cracks or breaks are best left to the expertise of a professional garage door repair service such as Empire Garage Doors.

Steel Doors for Garages 

Highly favoured and reasonably priced, steel garage doors are a preferred option, particularly in Brighton. These types of doors are equipped with a protective coating that can endure harsh weather conditions. Additionally, they offer a wide range of finishes, giving you the freedom to personalise your garage door to your preferences.

Plastisol Coating  

The exterior of the door is coated with Plastisol HP200, a maintenance-free vinyl that offers protection.

The coating is offered in various colours and can be applied with either a smooth or textured finish, depending on the manufacturer. Typically, Plastisol coatings come with a 10-year warranty.

Powder Coated 

The garage door is coated on both sides with a dry polyester powder and then cured in an oven.

During the process, the powder is melted to create a durable and polished finish. There are numerous colour choices available to elevate the appearance of your property.

Self-painted

Upon completion of the installation, customers have the choice to personally paint their steel garage door.

Going for this route involves sanding down the surface, applying fresh primer, and adding several layers of durable, weatherproof paint. For optimal longevity, it is advised to have a professional complete the finishing process on your garage door.

Touch-up kits are available when you make your purchase, and, if necessary, Empire Garage Doors can also arrange for a complete re-coating if you wish.

FAQs – Fixing Garage Doors

Most commonly asked questions regarding the repair and maintenance of garage doors.

There is nothing safe about DIY garage door repair. You can put yourself and others at risk if the door comes crashing down or a part malfunctions. Therefore, you should leave garage door repair to the experts. 

NEVER attempt to adjust garage door springs yourself. These are under tension and need specialist equipment to make safe repairs.

 

Most garage doors last between 15 and 30 years, though really it depends on the door, you and your environment. The lifespan of your garage door is determined by a variety of factors, including: Usage: The type of springs you have determines how many open/close cycles your garage is good for

The most common cause of an uneven garage door is worn out cables that sag, so checks to make sure your cables are still in good condition. If not, you may need to call a professional to replace them.

Generally, it’s not possible to repair a cracked garage door. Cracks are usually due to metal fatigue – once the integrity of the door is compromised, the only good solution is a replacement garage door.

The problem is either due to a blocked path between the sensors, dirty sensors, loose wires at the sensors or at the motor head, or just bad sensors. The transmitters (remotes) will not work to close the garage door in these cases.

When the garage door is lowered, the springs gain tension. When raising the garage door, tension is released and the spring assists with the lifting. It’s important to note, your garage door springs have the most tension when the garage door is closed. As a result, most garage door springs break when the door is down.
