The existing opening, headroom, side clearances and ceiling are the key factors. During the site survey, we check whether a standard solution will fit or which adjustments would be appropriate.<\/p><\/details><details class=\"wp-block-details pg-faq__item is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>How important is insulation?<\/summary><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It needs to be assessed differently for a detached, unheated garage than for a garage attached directly to the house or kept at a controlled temperature. We therefore consider the door in the context of the building.<\/p><\/details><details class=\"wp-block-details pg-faq__item is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Can the garage door match the appearance of the front door?<\/summary><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Colours, decorative finishes and understated surface finishes can be carefully coordinated with the front door, windows and fa\u00e7ade. Reviewing samples together usually gives a clearer picture than choosing from a catalogue.<\/p><\/details><details class=\"wp-block-details pg-faq__item is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Do I need a separate side door?<\/summary><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If bicycles, garden tools or the workshop are used frequently, a side door can make access much more convenient. Alternatively, we can assess whether a wicket door or a side-sliding sectional door would be suitable.<\/p><\/details><details class=\"wp-block-details pg-faq__item is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>What happens to an existing door operator?<\/summary><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When modernising your garage door, we check the condition, safety and compatibility of the operator. An existing operator is only reused if it makes technical sense.<\/p><\/details><\/div><\/div><\/div><nav class=\"pg-tore-type-switch\" aria-label=\"Choose a different garage door type\"><div class=\"pg-tore-type-switch__inner\"><span class=\"pg-tore-type-switch__label\">Choose a different door type<\/span><div class=\"pg-tore-type-switch__links\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.planigraph.lu\/en\/doors-and-gates\/\">Door overview<\/a><span class=\"is-active\" aria-current=\"page\">Sectional garage doors<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.planigraph.lu\/en\/doors-and-gates\/up-and-over-doors\/\">Up-and-over garage doors<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.planigraph.lu\/en\/doors-and-gates\/roller-doors\/\">Roller garage doors<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.planigraph.lu\/en\/doors-and-gates\/side-sliding-sectional-doors\/\">Side sliding sectional doors<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.planigraph.lu\/en\/doors-and-gates\/aluminium-framed-doors\/\">Aluminium-framed doors<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.planigraph.lu\/en\/doors-and-gates\/side-hinged-doors\/\">Side-hinged garage doors<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.planigraph.lu\/en\/doors-and-gates\/side-doors\/\">Side doors<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/nav><div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull pg-tore-final-cta has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide pg-tore-final-cta__inner pg-shell is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><p class=\"pg-eyebrow wp-block-paragraph\">Sectional garage door<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plan around the opening, your home and intended use.<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Send us a photo of your garage and the approximate opening dimensions.
