10 Things you should know about a garage roller door:

1. Roller garage shutter doors are great for self-installation. They are one of the most simple to fit compared to more traditional types of doors like up and overs and sectional doors. Companies should supply in-depth and easy to read instructions. Some will even supply video tutorials.

2. They come with high security features as standard. Your garage roller door should come with auto-locks and electromechanical breaks at no extra cost. These will help protect against break- ins as well as help to prevent accidents.

3. They are insulated, this means that as well as being extra strong they are also energy saving.

4. They are available in a huge variety of colours and finishes. Colours such as black, white and red are still the most popular choices but colours such as turquoise, blue and brown are increasing in popularity as time goes on.

5. They can be fitted to unusual shaped openings, such as arches with comparative ease. This means they are the best choice for those with irregular shaped garages or openings.

6. A roller shutter garage door will widen the usage options for your garage. They have no gaps or openings around their perimeter which, as mentioned earlier, means no drafts as well as pests and debris. This would mean that your garage space could house your home office for example extremely cosily.

7. They are hard wearing and low maintenance. Even so, as with all types of garage door, it is advised that your door is serviced annually.

8. The space saving capabilities of this type of door are immense. The door doesn’t open inwardly or outwardly but up and down. Therefore the door doesn’t eat in to parking or storage space. They can also be fitted in-front, in-between or behind the opening which means that maximum drive through height and width can be achieved. You should seriously consider this type of door if your garage opens on to the road or if you have a very small driveway.

9. The prices of garage roller doors are very good at the moment. Many online companies are able to offer prices up to 50% lower than their offline counterparts. So it pays to buy online!

10. Your new roller shutter garage doors will be very easy to operate and should come with a remote control system to open and close the door. This automatic operation will be especially useful for older people or those who struggle with any sort of lifting.
