Installing or replacing a garage door or shutter: the most popular models
Whether you need the installation or replacement of your garage door or shutter, an expert Garage door installation Dubai will be able to indicate the best model for your needs after a preliminary inspection.
Typically, the most widely installed models are:
- The shutter is economical and equipped with a winding roller that practically minimizes its bulk, as the shutter disappears inside a special box. Alternatively, lateral guides can be fixed to make it slide on the ceiling, always having the same effect. Usually, the shutter is made of metal or PVC, materials that weigh differently in the estimate of the garage shutter;
- The basculant is another classic solution, but with a very high cost, especially if you opt for an aluminum model. Its composition is modular; it is formed by various bands of identical sections that, joined together, give life to the frame. Its peculiarity is that it oscillates outwards, having a height encumbrance, but which does not affect the entrance to the garage;
- The gate or sectional door. Here, too, the door is made up of various modules, and its movement is constrained within lateral guides that slide the frame up to the ceiling, minimizing the overall dimensions;
- Like the interior, the folding door comprises strips of various thicknesses that, folding like an accordion on each other, take up very little space on the side of the frame. It is typical of industrial contexts and provides a reasonable degree of thermal insulation;
- The door has one or two leaves, with a swing opening, and usually with an opening angle of 90 degrees. This solution is rarely used due to the considerable bulk created when opening it.
Installing or replacing a garage door or shutter: opening methods and accessories
When requesting the installation or replacement of the garage door or shutter at home, you can always opt for the automatic opening of the frame, even if this will require the installation of an electric motor to be connected to the domestic system.
This means that if the necessary light points are not present, dealing with an electrician and carrying out masonry work inevitably affects the garage shutter estimate.
Other additional items that you may require along with the installation or replacement of your garage door or shutter are:
- The armouring of the frame to increase its resistance to break-in attempts;
- Its connection to the home automation system, to control its opening and closing from a smartphone or tablet or set predefined times;
- Installing additional locks, such as electronic ones or models equipped with a European security cylinder, always increases the security of your garage.
