Timber Side Hinged Garage Doors
Natural wood's enduring charm brings a unique element of refinement to your garage door.
Side hinged garage doors are commonly mounted on a sturdy steel frame to increase their strength and long-lasting qualities. Typically, sustainable FSC-certified suppliers use solid cedar and marine plywood as the preferred materials. Naturally, it is vital to properly maintain your timber door according to the manufacturer's recommendations in order to preserve its quality over time.
The hinged garage doors are available pre-stained from the factory or in an unstained option, allowing you to align with other design elements found in your property in Brighton.
GRP Fibreglass Side Hung Garage Doors
For those seeking a timber garage door without the hassle of maintenance, consider Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP) as an ideal alternative.
Durable and long-lasting, these low-maintenance doors are available in both a modern design and a classic timber look, providing a wide selection of colour choices to enhance your home.
Steel Side Hinged Doors
Galvanised to withstand the elements, steel side hinged garage doors offer an affordable solution.
A consistent polyester powder coating is evenly spread on both sides of the garage door and then heated in an oven, melting the powder and producing a long-lasting, sleek appearance. It is available in a variety of hues to enhance the look of your property.
