What’s the best garage door for a precast concrete garage?

The Garage Door Company Scotland

At our garage doors centres in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Kilmarnock, Livingston and Dundee, we offer a variety of doors to fit garages of all build types.

Precast concrete garages, with the right modifications, can be fitted with virtually any type of garage door – in fact modifications are frequently not required. In any case, with so many garage door models available and the fact that garage doors are a long-term investment, choosing the right one is essential, whatever type of garage you have. That’s where The Garage Door Company Scotland comes in. Our advisors, based at our garage doors branches in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Kilmarnock, Livingston and Dundee, are ready to guide you through the advantages and features of each type of door.

There’s certainly a lot to think about. Up-and-over garage doors, the model typically found on concrete garages, are straightforward to install and maintain. However, they can be heavy to lift and require space in front of the garage, as they swing outward when opened. Despite this, they remain popular garage doors in southern Scotland, particularly because automation options can eliminate the need for manual lifting.

For those who frequently need to access their garage on foot, side-hinged doors offer excellent convenience. This style allows easy pedestrian entry, and if you opt for a double-door model, each door can be opened, closed, and locked independently. You can also customise the design, with both doors being the same size or one larger than the other.

Roller doors (roller shutters) are also popular garage doors across Glasgow, Edinburgh, Kilmarnock, Dundee, Livingston and beyond, thanks to their space-saving design. These doors feature insulated panels, can be operated manually or automatically, and use a barrel mechanism to smoothly roll the door up and down.

Sectional garage doors are equally practical, running along a track and sliding neatly into the space beneath the garage ceiling. Like roller doors, they are excellent for saving space and providing insulation. Both sectional and roller doors are incredibly user-friendly, operating vertically and horizontally with minimal space requirements inside the garage. They come with efficient seals and can be double-skinned or insulated with foam. Lightweight and easy to automate, they’re a practical and modern choice.
