If you have a garage at your property, you’ll know that the opening doors can often be intrusive of your driveway, and get in the way of other vehicles which you may want to park outside. A garage is meant to expand storage space, not inhibit it. Wouldn’t it be great if you could have doors which allow storage on either side, without having to move your things around every time you need access? Roller doors offer a brilliant alternative to regular front opening garage doors Gloucester, and provide a useful solution to the inconvenience that regular doors often pose.

By retracting vertically, roller garage doors Gloucester allow you to pull a second vehicle right up to the garage, and still be able to open the door. This is ideal if you are restricted by space or looking for alternative solution to doors which swing outwards.

When transporting belongings to and from the garage, manually opening the doors can be a nuisance, especially if you are carrying heavy equipment or have your hands full. For ultimate ease, an electrical operator can be installed to the roller doors, allowing them to be controlled by a remote. Imagine carrying an old, bulky television to be stored in your garage, and being able to quickly and easily open the doors from the touch of a button. This is a great help, and can save you much precious time and effort.

It’s important that the roller doors fit perfectly onto your existing garage, which is why they are manufactured to fit to all garages of varying shapes and sizes. They are also available in 12 different colours to fit right into the existing décor of your property’s exterior.

With such versatility so readily available, why not make your life a little bit easier by opting for stylish and convenient roller garage doors Gloucester from Abacus.

The traditional ‘up and over’ style garage doors have been a staple for millions of homes for many years. Take a stroll through any neighbourhood and you’re bound to see many of them; their simplicity and familiarity is what makes them so popular. And while they offer a good all round level of practicality too, more and more homeowners are opting for sectional garage doors Bristol instead. Here at Abacus Doors, we offer a range of sectional doors in different styles and colours so that homes can stand out and break away from tradition.

Sectional doors, as their name suggests operate by splitting into multiple sections when opening or closing. This affords a high degree of flexibility and means that you don’t hurt your shins when opening them. Sectional doors open straight upwards and fold neatly near the ceiling of your garage, meaning that vehicles can be parked closer to the garage.

Here at Abacus Doors we can install sectional garage doors in the following dimensions –

• Between 6ft 10” to 25ft in width
• Between 6ft 6” to 8ft high

With such a range of sizes, we’re bound to be able to help provide a sectional door for your garage which is the perfect fit. Our doors are available in a variety of colours too.

One useful feature of sectional garage doors from Abacus is the fact that they can be insulated if desired.  Insulated doors keep more heat in your garage and/or home which helps preserve the environment and lower heating bills.

Oak garage doors are available in retractable or canopy design. Retractable garage doors are operated by large springs at each side of the door, with track-run horizontal rollers at the top, which then ‘retract’ the door as it is operated. These require a bit of space as the door opens outwardly in the first instance before sliding away, but they are easily automated – meaning they can be operated from a remote system or keypad. They offer optimum security and draught proofing too.

Canopy garage doors are similar in nature to retractable, with the door outwardly opening before sliding internally. They are easy to install and offer the maximum of drive-through width. Canopies are the most common up-and-over garage doors, and their popularity has remained constant over time.
