Side Hinged Garage Door Materials
Our side-hinged garage door range features options in timber, steel, and GRP fibreglass. Each material offers its own distinct benefits:
Timber Side-Hinged Garage Doors
The timeless elegance of natural wood adds a distinctive touch of sophistication to any home. To ensure long-term durability, these doors are usually installed on a robust steel frame.
Typically crafted form solid cedar or marine plywood, our timber is sourced from environmentally responsible, FSC-certified providers. To protect your investment, it is essential to care for your timber door over the years in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines.
We supply timber doors either pre-stained directly from the factory or completely unstained, allowing you to finish them to perfectly match the design elements of your East or West Sussex home.
GRP Fibreglass Side-Hinged Garage Doors
If you love the warm aesthetic of a timber garage door but want to avoid the maintenance associated with natural wood, Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP) is the perfect solution.
Robust and highly resilient, these low maintenance doors come in sleek modern designs or realistic timber-effect finishes, with an extensive range of colours to complement your property.
Steel Side Hinged Garage Doors
An exceptionally durable and affordable option, our steel side-opening garage doors are fully galvanised to withstand the British weather.
During manufacturing, a dry polyester powder coating is evenly applied to both surfaces of the door and baked in an oven. This process melts th powder to create a tough, smooth, and weather-resistant finish. It is available in a wide range of colours to match your home.
