The Benefits of Electric Garage Doors

Reasons to Upgrade to an Automatic Garage Door

There was a time when a domestic garage was used primarily for parking the beloved family car in. However, according to a survey carried out by Aviva insurance, the modern homeowner generally prefers to park the car on the driveway and use the garage as an additional storage space for household items or for housing the tumble dryer. With the average price of a family car now costing in excess of £15000 it does not make sense to simply fill the garage with junk and leave your most valuable asset (other than your house) vulnerable to the elements or in some cases criminals.

Electric Garage Doors add Convenience and Improve Access

Ask any homeowner who has a traditional up and over garage door installed the reason for not parking the car in the garage and they will probably say it is inconvenient to use a manual garage door on a regular basis and that if they had an automatic garage door installed it would get used more often. This is hardly surprising as for some reason many garage doors in the UK are neglected to the point that they become a real danger to the operator.

Manual Garage Doors Should be in Good Repair if Upgrading to Remote Control Operation

Any existing garage door that is correctly balanced and in good general repair will only need a garage door motor to convert to remote control operation. It is also worth noting that unsafe garage doors that are decaying or have broken parts will require either repair or replacement of the whole door prior to the installation of a garage door operator.

For total replacement, modern electric garage doors are available in a wide range of designs and styles and can be tailored to suit all budgets. Fast becoming the most popular types in the UK are roller garage doors and sectional garage doors. Their increase in popularity is undoubtedly down to ease of use for the homeowner.

Electric Garage Roller Doors and Sectional Doors Save Space & Improve Security

On top of the benefits of automation, both garage roller doors and sectional garage doors are very popular because they open vertically with no kick out at the bottom. This means the homeowner can park right up to garage without the fear of the door banging into the car as it opens and closes. Also, high quality modern garage doors also feature many added security benefits over traditional garage doors. With added security features such as interlocking door panels, dual locking bars, automatic locking and even in built alarms it has never been a better time to upgrade.
