FAQs
-
Can side hinged garage doors be automated?
Side hinged garage doors can be manual or electric, depending on the size of the door, though they tend to be manually operated.
-
Can I insulate a side hinged garage door?
Yes, side hinged doors can be insulated effectively to provide you with increased energy efficiency and comfort. This is particularly important if you intend to use the garage for another purpose, such as a home gym, an office or a kid’s playroom.
-
Are sub frames different for side hinged doors?
For most side hinged doors, the steel sub frames have a rebated edge to act as a stopper when the door is closed which provides a better weather-seal between the panel and the frame. Without this edge, there would be a significant gap around the door panels which would make the door noisy and cold.
-
What sizes are available?
Side hinged doors can be made to bespoke dimensions, but they are most commonly used for single garages with a maximum width of 3m. Garage openings larger than this will require additional heavy-duty hinges to fix the panels to the sub frame.
