A. There are four main types of garage doors in Hamilton and the basic difference between each one is in the way that they open.
The opening style is usually determined by the physical space available in and around your garage entrance, but aesthetics can also play a part when making your decision if you are lucky enough to have a garage that can accommodate more than one style.
Each type is available in various materials and finishes but they will generally fall into one of the following categories:
1. Sectional - They slide upwards into the ceiling space with each section moving independently of each other in order to facilitate the way it bends through the top of the garage opening and into the runners that guide it across the ceiling. At Hamilton Garage Doors, we offer sectional doors in a wide range of styles and materials to ensure that the final finish complements the overall feel of your house.
2. Roller - Similar to the sectional door in that they are guided straight up towards the ceiling, but the main difference being that they roll around themselves at the top rather than remaining flat and travelling across the ceiling space. As a result, the sections are much smaller in order to make this logistically possible. Get in touch to learn more about roller doors in Hamilton and see what options you have available to you.
3. Upswing or tilting - These one-piece doors move outwards from the bottom, then swing up and remain in one flat piece as they come to rest horizontally across the ceiling.
4. Carriage - These older style doors open out from the centre in the same way barn doors would. It's becoming a less popular style of garage door, and now they are often installed as sectional sliding doors and the carriage style is simply created with aesthetic touches.
