Roller Door Overview Features

Roller Garage Doors from GarageDoorsOnlineHormann Rollmatic OD Roller Door

The roller shutter garage door has grown to such popularity here in the UK now that it is quite difficult to navigate through an ever-increasing volume of brands and models, all being offered online and unfortunately all looking pretty similar to each other.

The simple fact is there is a lot of differences between an £475 roller door and a £2,000 door which seems to look exactly the same and uses the generic and adopted term of ‘insulated electric aluminium’ roller door.

Non Insulated Single Skin Roller Doors

Our single skin, continuous curtain, steel roller garage doors offer a great and simple solution when weather sealing and security are not the priority. These roller doors offer fantastic value for money and have been sold successfully in the UK since the 1980’s either as manual or electric operation. Simple concept and forgiving on the installation, these doors provide a roller door which will give years of trouble free operation and although the curtain roll is larger than the aluminium doors we do offer a ‘mini’ roll version as well.
