Building a garage can be a major challenge if you don't think ahead about what attributes you want to apply. One of the questions is the topic of choosing the gate you would like to install. The material from which garage doors are made can be very different. Options for opening the valves are also selected based on the specific location. And not always what your neighbor chose will suit you.
Consider the opening options that can be used for garage doors. Each type is interesting in its own way, so there is a choice for any buyer.
- Swing.
- Sliding.
- Recoil.
- Lifting.
- Lift-and-recoil.
Swing gates for garages - the easiest and cheapest installation option. This is a familiar opening for us, it does not require any special conditions during installation. But a significant disadvantage can be considered the need for free space near the garage. It is not always possible to prepare, so it is better to choose another way.
Slidingthe gate allows you to remove the canvas in one or two directions, freeing the opening. No additional platforms are required here, but most often only manual opening is possible. This is also not always convenient. Sliding gates for garages have the ability to install the canvas both inside and outside the building. The option that is most convenient for your case is selected. The door leaf goes to the side along the wall. Here you can easily apply automation: to open the garage, just press the button.
Lifting gates for garages allow you to free the opening by lifting the canvas up, but only if the height of the building allows it. For the option when the garage is separate and has a low size, roll-up doors are more suitable. Made of a special material, they allow you to assemble the canvas over the opening. When opening the garage, they do not interfere with the car at the entrance.
There is another kind of convenient opening for the garage. Lift-and-slide gates allow you to open the opening by laying the canvas along the ceiling. At first, the gate rises up, then goes into a horizontal position and retracts up. But such an opening requires a little free space in order to unfold the sash without interference.
Automatic garage doors can be applied to any opening option. The difference here is only in the automation block. Here, too, there is a gradation. Everyone chooses the level for themselves. You can choose to open using remote control for conveniencedrive up to the gate and open it by pressing only the button. You can install a scanner that will detect your car and, when it approaches the garage, open the gate.
The door leaf is made of different materials. It can be the usual wooden garage door. Their price is not very high. If a warm room is planned, then it is better to take a sectional roller door with a heater inside. Canvases made on the basis of a profiled sheet are also suitable here. They can also be ordered with an inner warm layer. Any of the options can be painted using the desired color. For a detached garage, it is selected in the same color as the walls or roof.
You can combine garage and entrance gates into one single composition, then they will emphasize the dignity of each other. Exterior decoration is already a secondary task.
