Product Questions
-
A Roller Door rolls into a cylinder above your head and a Sectional Door is sections of panels which follow the ceiling across.
-
Yes, any door can technically be automated. However, if the door is really old it may cause problems to the motor. There also needs to be enough room either at the side of the door (to fit a Roller Door motor) or on the ceiling of the garage, with no light fitting in the way (for a Sectional or Panel Door Motor).
-
A standard B&D Roller Door starts from around $1200 and prices can rise to around $8,000 for a customised, premium Hormanns Sectional Door.
-
At Shoalhaven Garage Doors we have installed many commercial and industrial doors over the years including Industrial Roll-A-Doors, Force Shield Commercial Shutters and Wind Rated Industrial Roll-A-Doors. If you have a specific or specialised need, please get in touch and we’ll advice you on all of your options.
-
The Sectional B&D Panelift Door will give you a higher opening because of the 250mm minimum headroom. The taller, rolling type doors need more headroom (400mm-650mm) which makes the opening smaller.
-
Doors can be made 1250mm-5200mm high and 1250mm-6600mm wide.
-
For B&D doors there are approximately 25 Colorbond colours to choose from and if selecting a Hormanns door there are over 200 colour options. For an additional charge we can also powdercoat any door.
-
From the street all of the doors look similar but it is in the working and hardware that the difference is seen. B&D doors have steel drums whilst Steeline and Gliderol have plastic drums.
B&D have a 20,000 spring cycle while Gliderol and Steeline have a 10,000 spring cycle. B&D have rubber curves on their panel doors which make for a quieter opening. They also come with concealed hinges and can be fitted with rubber seals on the panel doors. Lastly, B&D doors have a longer warranty than either Gliderol or Steeline.
-
If your door has a motor attached, even if the power goes out, the door is locked down to the floor. No one can lift the door. If there is no motor both the Roller Doors and Panel Doors have locking arms which will lock the door down.
-
Your door will take approximately 2-4 weeks for B&D options or 2-3 months when choosing Hormanns. If you are building / renovating we are able to accomodate holding the door if unforeseen changes in schedules occur.
-
Usually for a large double Sectional door we will require a full day. Roller Doors will take approximately 3 hours and motor installation approximately 1.5 hours.
-
Yes you can as long as you choose a Dulux paint. Also, if you opt for a Hormann’s door they have an extensive range with matching front doors in both timber look or solid colours.
-
