Garage doors: sectional vs. roller
28 May 2026 · 4 min read
Which type of garage door suits you, based on space, insulation and budget.
The two most requested garage solutions are sectional doors and roller doors. The difference comes down to space, insulation and opening.
Sectional doors
They rise vertically and sit under the ceiling, parallel to the floor. They offer very good thermal insulation (sandwich panels with polyurethane foam), increased safety and allow parking right in front of the garage. Recommended for most residential garages.
Roller doors
They roll into a box at the top, taking minimal side and ceiling space. Ideal for garages with small openings (up to 3–4 m) or low ceilings / vaults.
Frequently asked questions
Can both be automated?
Yes. Both can be fitted with a motor, remote control, safety photocells and a back-up battery.
