Bold Design with Maximum Visual Impact
The Fort Pro Wide Rib Vertical steel side-hinged garage door features the boldest vertical rib profile in the Fort Pro range, combining widely-spaced deep ribs with reinforced panel construction for exceptional visual presence and professional-grade performance. The wide rib profile creates pronounced shadow lines that add significant depth and character to your garage frontage, making this door ideal for properties where a strong architectural statement is desired.
The combination of wide vertical ribs and reinforced Fort Pro construction delivers both aesthetic impact and enhanced structural performance. The deep pressed ribs provide exceptional panel rigidity, whilst the reinforced construction ensures superior stability and impact resistance that exceeds standard single-skin specifications by a significant margin.
