If you want a garage door that feels solid, keeps the weather out and works smoothly day after day,
an insulated sectional door is one of the best all‑round choices.
Samson sectional doors use double‑skinned steel panels with a foam‑filled insulated core (typically around
40–42 mm thick, with thicker options available on some ranges). This helps reduce draughts and heat loss,
which is especially useful on integral garages or garages used as workshops, gyms or storage.
Sectional doors lift vertically and then sit neatly under the ceiling, so there’s no swing‑out onto the driveway.
That means you can park close to the door, and you keep the garage sides clearer for shelving, bikes and storage.
The rigid steel sections, interlocking panel joints and robust tracks create a stable door that stays well aligned
and operates smoothly. With a quality electric operator and the right locking setup, sectional doors offer strong
everyday security for vehicles and stored items.
Sectional doors are available in standard and made‑to‑measure sizes for single and double garages.
For larger openings, selected Teckentrup / CarTeck SuperSize sectional doors are available up to 8000 mm wide
(8 m) in a single span.
You can choose from smooth, ribbed or woodgrain panel designs, a wide range of factory‑finished colours,
and glazing options to bring natural light into the garage. It’s a straightforward way to match the garage door
to the rest of your home.
