Insulated Garage Doors in Sussex
The method of installation of garage doors, will also have an effect on the levels of insulation . As this usually determines how the door and frame are sealed against the garage wall.
An insulated-sectional Garage Doors door installed fully behind the opening offers the highest levels of insulation , as the door and frame will be sealed fully against any brickwork.
If fitting between brickwork then a timber frame is required to maintain the insulation barrier.
If a smaller height door needs to be installed then it is worth thinking about how any gaps are finished. Matching PVC or steel will deliver an aesthetically suitable and cost effective solution but it will not offer very high levels of insulation and can undermine the thermal qualities of a door.

Some Manufactures offer matching insulated fascia panels .

Uneven or sloping garage floors can present gaps in the bottom edge or seal of a door and have an impact on the levels of insulation.
