Which insulated roller garage door?


Recommended Posts

We have an integrated garage on our new build and starting to look at roller doors to fit early next year. 

 

The garage is/will be fairly well insulated with ICF being block worked faced and a 100mm insulated warm roof. Whilst the house is designed to be well enough insulated without the garage it would be a shame not to be able to use it in the colder months.

 

With that in mind am seeking recommendations for a well insulated roller aluminium door manufacturer. It's a single garage opening.

Not a roller door, but we have an insulated Hormann sectional door, which has worked well for nearly 6 years. It's a bit annoying having it above your head if you want to do things with the garage door open (e.g., ours is used as a gym and a workshop, both of which need overhead clearance from time to time).

 

I can't gauge how good the insulation is - the door isn't airtight, and I think that has a big effect especially in winter - but it doesn't get that hot in the garage even when we get the mid-summer sun beating down on the garage door for a couple of hours in the afternoon during summer.

 We have the same. I did not realise there would be quite so much gear overhead but I belive they are better inslulated than a roller. They also look quite neat from the outside.

 

Ideally I wanted an insulated side hinged door but they are too expensive for me.
