What is the Best Roller Garage Door?
The best roller shutter garage door is the one which suits your garage size and uses the best access control for how you use your garage on a daily basis. The best doors are also the ones with the better overall security, safety and reliability as there are a lot of dubious roller garage doors on the UK market..
Seceuroglide are the original manufacturers for aluminium insulated roller doors and with a background in security window shutters their roller doors are the best for security and reliability.
GDO make a wide range of insulated roller doors with excellent options for the door controls, offering wall push button through to smart control options.
Hormann offer a high quality range of roller doors and Garador are the same.
Samson Doors offer a wide range of their own insulated aluminium electric operated models, focussing on controls and colours to suit.
As discussed already, the trouble with roller doors is they can all look the same, so making a decision on one being better than another is hard. It is the quality of internal components that make the big differences and although low prices are always tempting we know all too well the trouble and frustrations of buying cheap with roller doors.? The individual components you cannot normally see are really the most important ones for a roller door, the barrel, the linkage between the barrel and the curtain, the tube motor inside the barrel, the gearing from the motor and so on. These are all parts that make a roller door function really well for a long, long time or if cheap and flimsy, just long enough to maybe see a warranty period out if you are lucky!?
Look for roller doors using German or Northern European manufactured aluminum slats for strength and durability as they are one of the most experienced at these types of products. Insulated steel slats are available from a few manufacturers and these can provide slightly larger widths if required. Look for manufacturers who have been producing roller doors for at least 5 years or more as this is the minimum period for a good reliable motor drive unit to have a guarantee. Make sure the roller door is using the latest manual or electric control systems and safety devices for opening and closing the door and is properly CE marked to conform with European regulations.
Price? Colour choice? Security? Warranty period? Speed of Delivery? Control Options?
It is about getting the right door for your application and expectations.
There are many factors depending on the relevance in your life, but with a roller garage door just remember you probably won't buy one more than once every 10 - 15 years so take your time and certainly do not be drawn in by promises of "lowest guaranteed prices" and other similar marketing gimmicks because as we have said, a cheap roller door will only cause you grief and cost you a lot more in the long run.
All the roller garage doors in our online shop are proven, tested, mostly made to measure, CE marked, guaranteed and offer the latest in control accessories.
