Roller Door Sizes and Prices Guide

Hormann in AnthraciteYou may have already discovered that roller garage doors are one of the most popular garage doors right now and of course, everyone has the best and cheapest model to offer. We always point out to anyone researching on the internet – ‘If it looks too good to be true it probably is’, and for roller doors this is very true indeed.
 
The principle of a roller garage door is simple enough, a flexible curtain rolling around a barrel to go up or down vertically, powered by an electric motor or balanced by springs as a manual operation. There are far more small components and moving parts than any other garage door, and if any part of this door type uses cheaper, inferior parts, then the chance of problems occurring is likely.
 
There are two types of roller garage door in the UK: a basic steel roller door with a continuous steel single sheet which rolls around itself, and an aluminium roller door using individual double walled slats with a foam core infill which also roll around a barrel. The latter offers some insulation and a far stronger resistance to forcing.
Although there are a lot of manufacturers and brands of roller doors all looking very similar, there are some very big differences in the slat quality and overall strength.
 
GarageDoorsOnline have many years of experience with roller doors, and we only offer the doors which can be easily fitted and have the least issues over time with the highest levels of security and durability.

 

Made to Measure as Standard
All the roller garage doors we offer are purpose made in width and height for the best fit possible when ordering. There is no extra cost for this or extra time in manufacturing and it ensures every customer can get their installation perfect to maximise every aspect of the garage.

Pricing
As roller doors are all made to measure then the prices are based on width and height bands.

All you need to do is work out the ordering sizes you require and then in our online shop for any of the brands you choose the nearest size on or above the size you need and then specify the exact size after choosing this size band.
 
Example: You need a Seceuroglide LT roller door with an Overguide Width of 2420mm wide and a Guide Height of 2150mm. Choose the ‘up to 2500mm’ in the width drop down and the ‘up to 2200mm’ in the height drop down and the price will automatically be shown with the option now to place the exact dimensions required if you are ordering online.

 

Gliderol Single SkinSizing and Ordering for Single Skin Gliderol Steel Doors

For the more basic Gliderol single skin steel roller doors, the sizes are expressed as the OVER CURTAIN WIDTH, which is a slightly strange measurement, but an industry standard for this type of door.
The guides either side have their dimensions and the roller curtain is sliding in these guides with an overlap on what would be the inbetween guide width.
 
In basic terms, these types of roller doors are ordered and priced by the curtain width and the guide height; you have to make sure you allow for the guide fixing lugs, support brackets for the curtain and the actual roll of the curtain above the guides. All these dimensions will vary depending whether it is a single or double size door and some variance depending on the height of the door too. The higher the door then the larger the curtain roll will be when rolled up so more headroom will be necessary to accommodate.

Sizing and Ordering for Aluminium Insulated Roller Doors

There are 2 sizing and pricing methods with the aluminium roller, doors depending on the chosen brand.
 
For the Brands - Seceuroglide, GDO ROLL55 and ROLL77, Gliderol and Samson roller doors, the sizing, ordering and pricing is by the OVERALL WIDTH including the side guides and the GUIDE HEIGHT without the size of the curtain roll included, which varies depending on the height ordered. These are always ordered in millimetres.

For the Hormann Rollmatic 2 and Rollmatic T and the Garador roller doors the ordering sizes are different. The ordering and pricing is always by the INBETWEEN guide width (the daylight opening) and the GUIDE HEIGHT without the curtain roll and hood cover included, and again this varies depending on the door height. These are always ordered in millimetres.

Hormann Rollmatic Aluminium Roller Door

Prices for the Hormann Rollmatic 2 roller doors start from £1,600 inc. VAT plus delivery

 
 
 

Prices for the  Hormann T roller doors start from £955 inc. VAT plus delivery

 
 
 

A roller door is the most versatile of garage door types because you can specify almost any size at all and ensure you have a functioning door whether it is fitted inside the opening, inbetween or even outside (with optional hood cover).
The compact nature of the curtain and the fact you only ever need the side guides, which can be anything from 60mm wide to 100mm wide, means this door type has ultimate versatility in the way it is fitted to any structure.
