Side-hinged garage doors offer several advantages that make them a
preferred choice for certain applications:
Traditional Aesthetics
Side-hinged garage doors often have a classic, traditional appearance that
complements older homes or properties with a rustic architectural style. They
can add charm and character to the overall look of the property.
Easy Manual Operation
Side-hinged garage doors are typically operated manually, swinging open and closed
on hinges similar to regular doors. This manual operation can be advantageous
for homeowners who prefer a simple, low-tech solution for their garage access.
Partial Opening
Unlike some other types of garage doors, side-hinged doors allow for partial
opening. This feature is convenient for quick pedestrian access without the need
to fully open the entire door, which can be practical for tasks such as
retrieving bicycles or gardening tools.
Durability and Longevity
The side-hinged garage doors we supply are constructed from durable materials such
as steel, timber, or composite materials. When properly maintained, these doors
withstand the elements and offer long-lasting performance.
Customisation Options
Side-hinged doors can be customised to suit individual preferences and
requirements. Homeowners can choose from various materials, finishes, and
designs to match the style of their home and enhance its kerb appeal.
Minimal Maintenance
Side-hinged garage doors typically have fewer moving parts compared to other types
of doors, such as sectional or roller doors. This can result in lower
maintenance requirements and reduced likelihood of mechanical issues over time.
Ventilation
Side-hinged doors provide an opportunity for improved garage ventilation when
partially opened. This can help reduce humidity and prevent the buildup of stale
air and odours inside the garage space.
No Ceiling Space Required
Unlike overhead garage doors that require ceiling space for tracks and mechanisms,
side-hinged doors operate on hinges and do not required overhead clearance. This
can be advantageous for garages with limited ceiling height or where overhead
space is needed for storage.
