Excellent rigidity and premium solid feelThe Fort Vertical Wide Rib door makes a confident architectural statement with its pronounced, bold vertical ribs that run the full height of each leaf. The wider rib profile creates a clear, assertive rhythm across the door surface, establishing a strong vertical emphasis that can become a distinctive design feature on the property frontage. These substantial ribs generate deeper, more dramatic shadow lines than medium rib alternatives, bringing noticeable three-dimensional depth and sculptural quality to what would otherwise be a flat steel surface.
The bold vertical detailing echoes the kind of prominent vertical features increasingly found in contemporary UK architecture, such as vertical timber or metal cladding panels, vertical feature brickwork, or tall, narrow window formats arranged in vertical groupings. This makes the Vertical Wide Rib door particularly well-suited to newer homes, modern extensions, or properties undergoing contemporary refurbishment where a more assertive, design-led garage door treatment is appropriate. The wider, more robust rib profile also contributes additional structural stiffness to the insulated steel leaves, resulting in excellent rigidity and a premium, solid feel when operating the door for everyday pedestrian access to the garage.
Fort 20 mm Insulated Side Hinged Range
Fort's 20 mm double-skinned steel side hinged doors combine a rigid outer skin with an insulated core to deliver improved thermal performance, strength and a quality closing action. The doors are supplied as complete pre-assembled units with steel frame and hardware, helping to ensure accurate installation, smooth operation and long-term reliability.
Construction & Insulation
The door leaves use a double-skinned steel construction with approximately 20 mm of insulation, creating a stable panel that feels solid in everyday use. This insulated build helps reduce heat loss compared to single-skin doors, supporting more comfortable temperatures if the garage is used as a workshop, gym or utility space.
Frames, Seals and Weather Protection
Each door set is supplied with a matching steel sub frame, allowing the door and frame to work together as a single engineered unit. Circumferential seals around the leaves and frame edges help minimise draughts, wind-blown debris and rain ingress, which is particularly valuable on exposed UK driveways.
Hardware, Locking and Operation
Fort side hinged doors use robust hinges and proven locking hardware designed for frequent pedestrian access rather than occasional vehicle use. The easy swing-open action makes it simple to step in and out of the garage without operating a full lifting mechanism, ideal when the garage is used daily for storage, hobbies or home business activities.
