Question 1

What is the best garage door for my home?

Accepted Answer

The best option depends on space around the opening, headroom, the look you want, and budget. Sectional doors suit most homes, roller doors are compact, and tilt doors lift as a single panel. Materials include aluminium, Colorsteel, and cedar. We supply and install garage doors Auckland wide and can recommend the right fit after a site measure.

Question 2

Should I choose insulated or non insulated garage doors?

Accepted Answer

Insulated doors help retain heat, reduce noise, and can improve energy efficiency, which is useful if your garage is attached or used as a workspace. Non insulated doors are fine for detached garages or mild climates. We can price both options for Auckland homes.

Question 3

How do I clean a garage door safely?

Accepted Answer

Mix one part mild detergent with five parts water and wipe with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse well. Clean about every six months, and more often in coastal or dusty areas. Avoid harsh solvents and abrasive pads to protect the finish.

Question 4

What safety features matter in a garage door opener?

Accepted Answer

Key features include auto reverse with obstruction detection, photo eye sensors, manual release for power cuts, and courtesy lighting. Modern openers also offer rolling code remotes and smartphone control for added security and convenience.

Question 5

When should I replace my garage door?

Accepted Answer

Consider replacement if the door is over ten years old and shows recurring issues like misalignment, heavy dents, cracked panels, or frequent spring and cable failures. A new door can improve safety, reliability, and curb appeal.

Question 6

Do I need windows in my garage door?

Accepted Answer

Windows add natural light and style but may increase heat loss. Choose frosted or tinted glazing for privacy or place windows higher on the door. Sectional doors can include window panels. Roller doors generally cannot due to how they roll into a drum.

Question 7

What are the main types of garage doors?

Accepted Answer

Sectional doors rise in hinged panels along ceiling tracks. Roller doors wrap into a compact roll above the opening. Tilt doors lift as a single panel. We install all three styles of garage doors Auckland wide.
