Garage Roller Doors Perth

Sectional and Roller Garage Doors

Sectional doors

In deciding whether to install sectional doors, it must be measured that there is enough clearance along with the ceiling in your garage so the door can open freely.

Sectional panel garage door in Maddington

• Steelline Garage Door

• Pattern: Fineline

• Colour: Paperbark

It is a strong door with metal hinges and nylon rollers with ball bearing axles, with full metal tracks. It has jambs 125mm with a 200mm pelmet providing excellent clearance for a Toyota Prado to slip under the door with enough room to add roof racks or a lift kit.

We removed an old roller door to gain extra height clearance to fit a 4wd drive in the garage. The floor is level so did not require a taper to suit the slope of the concrete floor.

Sectional Garage Doors compared To Roller Doors

Headroom is perhaps the biggest deciding factor

Headroom is the distance from the ground to the lowest point of the door on the ceiling in the open position.

Sectional doors open along the ceiling providing headroom loss of 300mm down to 160mm (only Desmond Brown sectional doors can provide 160mm headroom loss)

Roller doors, as the name suggests, roll up in a round roll. Headroom loss is a minimum loss of 400mm for a double door. The loss is more like 500mm because of the bigger roll diameter.

So in a normal standard height garage of approximately 2200mm, the comparison of garage door headroom clearance is as follows:

A double car width roller door would have 1700mm of clearance, a single car width would be 1800mm headroom.

Sectional doors are different from brand to brand in headroom loss:

B&D garage doors are about 300mm headroom loss leaving 1900mm Clearance

Steel-line garage doors have approximately 260mm Headroom loss leaving 1940mm Clearance

Centurion garage doors are 200mm leaving headroom of 2000mm clearance

Desmond Brown sectional doors provide 200mm headroom loss with the option of 160mm giving clearance of 2000mm or 2040mm.

Headroom loss is highly dependent on your requirements, the 40mm extra Desmond Brown garage doors offers means the difference of fitting a modified 4WD in your garage or not. Comparing sectional doors versus roller doors is one thing, however even among the different brands of doors there are variations of headroom loss.
