As long-standing installers of garage doors in Grangemouth and the surrounding areas, The Garage Door Company have built a reputation as trusted contractors.
Choosing a new garage door involves more than simply selecting a design you like. There are various important technical factors to consider to make sure your choice suits your home properly. With years of experience helping homeowners across Scotland, we’re well-placed to guide you through the key decisions.
One common misconception is that a new door with the same measurements as the old one will fit in exactly the same way. In reality, the type of frame used can significantly affect space – for example, steel frames are generally thicker than timber ones, which can reduce the overall drive-through width. The positioning of the garage door itself also plays a role; whether it sits inside or behind the opening can impact height, width, and even the depth inside your garage. These finer details are easy to overlook, but our expert team can help you assess them so that everything runs smoothly on installation day.
Even if your garage isn’t currently used to store a vehicle, it’s still worth making sure future cars will be able to fit through the entrance. If you’re planning to change vehicles soon, double-checking the dimensions is a smart move. Where space is at a premium, we can suggest modifications – such as repositioning the gear on a retractable door – to increase clearance and help prevent accidental scrapes.
Insulation is another important consideration. A well-constructed garage with level flooring and squared walls will benefit most from an insulated garage door, improving thermal efficiency and comfort. However, if your garage is slightly uneven, our team will assess its structure and offer realistic guidance on the insulation performance you can expect.
If you’re interested in automation, we supply a full range of access options, including keypads and remote controls. And rest assured: we’ll also show you how to open your door manually in the event of a power cut, so you’re never caught out.
