Garage doors in Edinburgh serve different purposes; they are decorative but they also protect valuable property and lives. They are common features to domestic, commercial, industrial and sometimes agricultural properties. They must be durable and high quality while offering you longevity. They protect you, your property, add value and provide an appealing aesthetic. Doors are an extension of you. They personify what you represent.
Breakdown
Good solid doors should protect you from loss of business and ensure your vehicle or property insurance premiums remain low. They come in many shapes, materials, colours and styles to suit individual tastes and needs. There are three main garage door repairs in Edinburgh. These are roller doors: they roll up into a cylindrical shape when they open up. Secondly, there is the sectional. This door opens in an arc outwards and is unsuitable in areas where there isn’t a lot of space.
Thirdly, there’s the up and over; as you pull back the door, it lifts up and tucks in parallel to the roof. All these doors can be automated and use different operating systems as illustrated below.
Operating Systems
1] Sliding doors: Depending on the wall space, they can be fitted internally or externally. They come with different tracking options. They are ideal for domestic and commercial properties. One piece sliding doors offer the flexibility of design because there aren’t any limitations on the width, mass or amount of panels needed.
[2] Surface rams: There’re two main options. These are the rear surface mounted or surface mounted. They are less costly to install; there isn’t a lot of work to be done such as digging to install motors. They’re ideal where there is heavy usage of gates such as commercial or industrial properties. Good quality rams are easy to maintain and service on demanding installations.
[3] Underground operators: They operate using underground motors hidden from the eye; hence their aesthetic appeal is great. They are popular and are found on commercial and residential properties.
[4] Intercom systems: The motorised system is custom designed to your property and linked to your intercom system to provide easy, convenient and safe access without having to leave the security of your property or vehicle. This system offers the highest form of security for your commercial, industrial or residential properties.
