Novoferm Sectional garage doors are available in two types of insulation thickness. The ISO 20 sectional garage door has a 20mm insulation thickness. The ISO 45 sectional garage doors has a 45mm insulation thickness.
What material are the sectional garage door panels?
Novoferm sectional garage door panels are manufactured from high-quality, galvanised steel with a durable surface finish. All feature a foam-filled insulated core, providing strength, thermal efficiency and long-lasting protection.
Can Novoferm Sectional garage doors be manual or are they automated as standard?
Novoferm sectional garage doors can be supplied either as manual or automated, depending on the specification.
They are not automated as standard. The door can be supplied as a high-quality manual sectional door competing against traditional manual up and over doors, but also have the option to add a compatible Novoferm operator if automation is required, this is usually the preferred option.
Many existing manual sectional doors can also be upgraded to electric operation later, provided the correct compatibility and safety features are in place
Can Sectional garage doors help reduce energy costs?
Yes. The insulated door panels and perimeter seals help maintain a more stable temperature within the garage due to insulation properties and thermal efficiency, making them ideal for garages attached to the home or used as workspaces keeping them cool in the summer months and keeping the extra heat trapped throughout the winter months.

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:
