Types of Garage Doors Maidstone, Ashford, Canterbury

When choosing a new garage door for your home or business premises, you will be looking for something that is reliable, high-quality and competitively priced. Here at JB Garage Doors, we ensure that all of the garage doors that we supply and install fit these criteria and meet the high standards that our name has become synonymous with. 

We recognise that every home is different, which is why we provide a comprehensive selection of garage doors to suit all budgets and preferences. All of our garage door styles are available in a range of colours and finishes to allow for further personalisation. Each garage door style has its own unique benefits, such as:

Up and over garage doors: Up and over garage doors remain the go-to choice for customers seeking functionality and affordability. This simple, single-panel design neatly tucks away under the garage ceiling when not in use to offer easy operation, and the durable and low-maintenance nature of this style means your garage door will last for years to come.

Roller garage doors: Soaring in popularity thanks to their sleek appearance, roller garage doors comprise multiple vertical slats that rise neatly upwards when in use, saving space both inside and out. Roller doors typically come double-skinned, making them an energy-efficient choice.

Sectional garage doors: As the name implies, sectional doors lift upwards in sections and curve onto a ceiling track. This stylish design maximises driveway space, boosts kerb appeal and enhances security by eliminating gaps for forced entry.

Side-hinged garage doors: This classic garage door style adds a timeless aesthetic to any home. Swinging outwards like a typical double door, a side-hinged garage door is convenient to operate and perfect for frequent pedestrian access.

Types of Garage Door Materials

In addition to choosing a garage door style, you’ll also need to select the material that is best for your needs. Here at JB Garage Doors, we supply both wooden and steel garage doors, with each material boasting a whole host of benefits:

Wooden garage doors: The natural lustre of wood imbues any exterior with warmth and offers a traditional and timeless aesthetic. Wood is also an insulating material and has excellent soundproofing qualities, enhancing both thermal and acoustic insulation. Every wooden garage door from JB Garage Doors is entirely handcrafted to be truly unique to your home.

Steel garage doors: Steel is a robust material, so consequently steel garage doors offer incredible durability and longevity to your home. They are also low maintenance and affordable to save you money in the long run.

Automated vs Manual Garage Doors

At JB Garage Doors, we supply both manual and automated garage doors from a number of top manufacturers, including Hörmann, Garador, SWS UK and Wessex Garage Doors. An electric garage door maximises convenience and enhances security thanks to its automated opening mechanism. Ideal for those with mobility issues, an automated garage door offers hassle-free access at the simple touch of a button. All of our automated garage doors can also be opened manually if you prefer.
