Roller Door Overview
Roller garage doors have grown in popularity in the U.K. over the last few years, and their appeal is certainly because of their neat, compact mechanisms, as well as their vertical operation.
We recommend that when researching Roller Doors you ensure that the door you are purchasing is from a very well established manufacturer with a good pedigree, and complies with all the latest security and safety regulations. This may sound obvious, however there are some Roller Doors that claim to be CE marked and compliant with regulations on electric doors, but are in fact not, and unsafe as a result. A poorly made Roller Door will inevitably break and fail faster than its well-made counterparts, and end up costing more in the long run. All Roller Doors available here on GarageDoorsOnline are from established and reliable manufacturers.

Insulated - Double Skin Door CurtainDouble skinned aluminium roller doors are generally constructed with slats around 77mm deep and 20mm thick. These dimensions provide excellent strength to the door, but also a degree of insulation. This type of Roller Door is the most flexible with regards to where it can be fitted, and with the correct specifications can be one of the most secure doors available. |

Non-Insulated - Single Skin Door CurtainA single skin roller door is a perfectly suitable roller door when weather sealing and security are not priorities. These doors offer great value for money, are available in various finishes, in both manual and electric operations, and at many sizes single and double garage widths. The curtain roll is larger with steel Roller Doors than aluminium, however there are a number of single width sizes offering a 'mini roll' construction if headroom is an issue. |

SecurityElectric operated shutters will be the most secure, when manufactured with a recognised method of holding down the curtain when closed fully. We can offer the Seceuroglide Excel with LPS1175 certification and a further option for higher security level with the compact roller door, a unique patented design with high security and minimal headroom requirements Security is probably the most asked for feature on a garage door and you should always be aware of how the door is truly locked and secured when closed. Many roller doors will simply not have any proper form of locking and can be easily lifted from the bottom without too much noise or fuss. |
