Why Choose A Sectional Garage Door?
Door Operation
Door Operation
Vertical opening allows 'park-right-up' convenience, whilst the extension or torsion spring operation gives a super smooth mechanism. Enclosed moving parts and push away joints to the panels make for finger safe operation.
Functionality of sectional doors
The sectional door principle
A sectional garage door is made up of several horizontal panels (sections) that are hinged together. These doors open vertically and slide along tracks that curve and run parallel to the ceiling when fully opened.
More space in front of the garage
Unlike the Up & Over doors, a Sectional does not swing outwards, therefore you can use every last centimetre of the space in front of the garage, for example to park your car, as this door type assists to maximise your driveway space.
Openings for different vehicles
As the sections are pushed under the ceiling to save space, there is also more room in the garage - ideal for tall vehicles such as off-road vehicles or vans.
More space in front of the garage
With a sectional door with an electric operator, you always have the full clearance height at your disposal. When replacing an up-and-over door with a sectional door, the passage is even wider, as the sectional garage door can be installed behind to maximise width. The use of the Novoport Speed, side mounted operator also assists with no taking up additional ceiling space.
Open For Every Opening
A sectional garage door from Novoferm always fits:
