The precision engineering is what sets this brand apart – every door is tested and awarded the TUV NORD certification for complete peace of mind against potential break-ins. If security is of paramount importance to you, or your garage provides access to the rest of the property, a TECKENTRUP door may be right for you.

Making Your Decision

When choosing the right garage door, and the manufacturer behind it, consider your primary requirements, whether that’s maximising thermal efficiency, enhancing security, achieving a particular aesthetic, or working within space constraints. Your property’s architecture should influence your decision; period homes often benefit from the authentic appearance of Cedar Door’s timber products or CDC’s wood-effect designs, while contemporary buildings may be better complemented by the clean lines of Hormann or TECKENTRUP sectional doors.

Maintenance needs should also factor into your decision – timber doors require regular treatment, while steel, GRP and aluminium options offer lower maintenance alternatives with different aesthetic characteristics. Remember that a garage door typically lasts 15-20 years, making it worthwhile to select a quality product that will perform reliably throughout this period.
