Roller Door Overview Features
Roller Garage Doors from GarageDoorsOnline
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.

Our single skin, continuous curtain, steel roller garage doors offer a great and simple solution when weather sealing and security are not the priority.

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. Prefinished plastisol coated colours and made to measure for a perfect fit. Can only be fitted behind an aperture or framework. |
