Sectional Garage Doors
The sectional garage door offers higher levels of performance than any other garage door type currently available in the UK. While traditional up and over doors have their place, the sectional door surpasses all other garage door type alternatives in almost every measurable category, including thermal efficiency, security, sizes and weathersealing.
It is in most cases the best value for money garage door you can buy, especially for integral garages and larger size openings where other doors start to reach their limitations.
At Garage Doors Online, we supply the leading European brands including Garador, Hormann, Seceuroglide, and GDO. However, for most UK homeowners, we recommend the Carteck range. Carteck doors are specifically engineered to handle British weather conditions better than many competitors and, crucially for your project timeline, they typically arrive much faster than other premium brands. Thermal Performance and Energy Savings
With energy costs becoming a major consideration for every household, the insulation value of your garage door is a big deal. Our sectional doors are designed to keep the cold out and the warmth in, offering U-values as low as 1.0 W/(m²K) on premium models. Even our standard 40mm models deliver exceptional thermal retention compared to single-skin doors. This high level of insulation helps maintain a stable internal temperature, which is essential if your garage is integral to your house or if you use the space as a gym, workshop, or home office.
Complete Electric Packages
To make your purchase straightforward, we offer exclusive Electric Door Packages. These bundles include your chosen door along with the correctly specified electric operator and controls. By purchasing as a package, you ensure you have the exact motor power required for the door's size and weight, all while securing a more beneficial price than buying the components separately.
12 Key Benefits of Sectional Doors
Superior Thermal Efficiency: Certified U-values as low as 1.0 W/(m²K) help reduce home heating bills and keep a more consistent internal temperature throughout the year,
- Electric Operator Security: The motor assembly actively pushes the door down, acting as a positive lock that is far more secure than manual latching. Some models offer enhancements on this security too.
- Maximum Drive-Through Width: No sub-frame intrudes into the opening, giving you the full width for parking your car. Full height depends on model and mechanism.
- Park Right Up Close: Vertical lift operation means there is no swing-out, allowing you to use every inch of your driveway and internal space too.
- Complete Weather Sealing: Heavy-duty rubber seals on all four sides prevent draughts, leaves, and rain from entering. (only with level floors)
- Finger-Trap Protection: Cleverly designed panel joints push fingers away as the door closes, preventing injury.
- Super Quiet Operation: Nylon rollers running in precision steel tracks ensure smooth and nearly silent operation.
- Wall Space Freedom: Because the door tracks along the ceiling, your garage walls remain free for shelving and storage. You can raise the tracking in higher ceiling garages if required to maximise space inside.
- Bespoke Sizing: We can supply doors made to millimetre accurate measurements to fit your specific opening perfectly at no or minimal extra cost either if you need a single or a double sectional garage door.
- Smart Home Capable: Modern electric operators can link to your phone or smart home system for remote monitoring.
- Durable Finishes: Factory-finished surfaces in robust colours and timber effects resist fading and require minimal maintenance.
- Glazing Options: Add natural light without compromising privacy using scratch-resistant, insulated, double glazed window inserts.

Why choose an insulated sectional garage door?
If you want a door that technically outperforms every other option on the market, insulated sectional doors are the logical choice.
Unrivalled Insulation
The construction is fundamentally different from other types. It is built from double-skinned steel sections filled with a dense polyurethane foam core, typically 40mm to 42mm thick. This creates a thermal barrier comparable to modern double glazing. If your garage connects to your hallway or kitchen, upgrading to a sectional door can make a noticeable difference to the temperature of your entire ground floor.
Vertical Opening for Maximum Utility
Because the door rises vertically and slides into the ceiling space, you gain significant utility. You can park vehicles right up to the door inside and out, which is a huge advantage for short driveways. Furthermore, unlike roller doors which require a large box at the lintel, sectional doors often fit into tighter headroom spaces, preserving your drive-through height.
Electric Security as Standard
While manual locking is available, the vast majority of sectional doors are installed with electric operation. This is not just for convenience; it is a security upgrade. A high-quality electric operator acts as a solid mechanical lock. When the door is closed, the boom arm is rigid, making it extremely difficult for an intruder to lever the door open from the bottom—a common weak point in older garage door designs.
Designed for British Homes
Whether you need a specific RAL colour to match your window frames or a warm woodgrain effect to suit a period property, the finish options are extensive. We can supply standard UK sizes from stock, or bespoke Carteck and Hormann doors manufactured to your exact opening dimensions, ensuring a perfect fit and a professional finish every time.
