If your existing garage door has seen better days, replacing it is something that does not cost a great deal but adds a whole new dimension to the looks of your home. Let’s face it, a garage door can only take so many balls thrown against it by the kids or impacts from the car, when it is worn out and dilapidated, it really should be replaced.
Choosing the door:
The garage door installation in Berwyn cannot be any better than the door that is chosen. There are numerous types of garage doors by design and material, each door is suitable for a specific situation.
* Roll up doors use a series of sections that roll up around a drum when the door opens vertically. This type of door is ideal where there is plenty of headroom.
* Sectional doors are comprised of a number of hinged sections that rise vertically and store horizontally. This door is ideal in residential settings; they can be produced from wood or metal and can be fitted with windows.
* Solid panel doors follow a curved track when opened, the door slides from vertical to horizontal and is stored close to the ceiling. This door is ideal where the garage has limited headroom.
In all cases these doors use heavy springs to counter-balance them and assist with opening and closing.
Automatic door openers:
A typical new garage door installation in Berwyn includes an automatic garage door opener. Those homeowners who tend to use their car a great deal will find that the inclusion of an automatic opener makes their life a lot simpler as they come and go. Any of the above types of garage doors can be fitted with an opener, it makes no difference where the door rolls onto itself, is hinged or a solid section; there is an opener designed to function perfectly with the door.
Although many people do opt for an automatic opener, not all do. For those that do not use their garage all that frequently or are inclined to use their garage more as workshop, manual operation is suitable. A manually opened and closed door has fewer components and garage door installation is less expensive without an automatic opener.
Proper garage door installation in Berwyn is a task that takes planning and an understanding of mechanics. It is highly recommended that a professional be hired to do the job.
Regardless of the style of garage door you purchase, garage door installation in Berwyn is a task that is suitable only for those with experience, skill and the right tools. You are invited to call upon Roberts Garage Door Professionals.
