Sliding garage doors

A side sliding garage is quickly becoming one of the most popular new garage door types in the UK for both commercial and domestic properties as they offer quite a few advantages over more traditional types that swing out when open.

Their main feature is of course, the operating mechanism itself, which ensures that much less space is taken up by the garage door than in the case of other door types. Instead of needing to swing open, the panels simply slide to the side,  which is especially useful in properties with limited interior or driveway space.

Another huge benefit of such doors is related to the overall look it gives to a property. Vertical door panels, a signature feature of a side sliding garage door option, stands out  and when combined with an attractive colour scheme as well as other cues, allows for a truly impressive design.

Here at Secure House, our side sliding door range features products that are made only from the highest quality materials available on the market with equal focus on both looks, as well as bespoke security.

If you are considering such a door option for your property, consult with our team of experts and we will find the best side roller doors for you.

What are sliding garage doors?

It would be fair to say that side sliding garage doors are one of the most innovative door types on the market today, seamlessly blending features of convenience and unique design cues.

They feature a set of vertical door panels mounted on a guiding rail, which slide along it to the sides when the door opens or closes. While similar in principle to a set of sectional doors, here the panels move horizontally instead of vertically when opened.

Such a door option is especially popular in properties with limited interior space, headroom, or garages that feature shorter driveways where an outwards swinging door mechanism wouldn’t be convenient. Also, thanks to their unique design cues, it can help create a one-of-a-kind look for a property, which is also a contributing factor to their growing popularity.

General benefits of side sliding sectional garage doors

This is achieved with the help of weather stripping and insulation solutions as well as the efficient nature of the opening and closing mechanism itself.

• Security – finally, side sliding doors can be enhanced with many security mechanisms to prevent possible theft or intruders in the garage. Multipoint locking mechanisms, reinforced steel frames and door accessories are just a few that help dramatically increase safety.
