Garage doors - electric options

This is a pre-curser to my next blog addition which will look at motorised garage doors.

Garage doors come in a variety of different forms, some lifting up and over the garage door opening and other sliding around to the side of the opening. There are even doors that will roll up, or bend into the space above the garage door void.

The most common garage doors used to be those with hinges, but these are now less popular, largely because of the reduced cost and ease of use of many of the metal and plastic coated garage doors.

Currently, up and over garage doors are the biggest sellers.

What virtually every garage door has in common though, is the ability to add remote control and motorization. This can be done with a simple conversion kit which turns a standard garage door into something a little bit more impressive.

For more on electric garage doors, how they work, their adaptability and suitability to different door types, see the next post. I will also include some useful links.
