Up and Over Doors” Why are they still popular?
Posted on April 24, 2021 at 9:22 am
Up and over doors are seen in many houses, for security reasons or just because they look so good. Maybe you have a nice wooden front door with an up and over door. If this is the case it can be very attractive to see, but there are also some negative points about them.
The obvious one is that if you want to get into your house you will either need to use the key or you will need to climb right over it. In most cases people who want security choose the second option when they install their new up and over doors. Some of these do not even lock from the inside which means that your neighbours could go in at any time without disturbing anyone! Although they do provide a lot of protection against intruders!
With most up and over doors, you will be able to get in without stepping on them or damaging the door and this is a very good thing. When you have kids running around it is nice to be able to leave the front door open for them, while still having some extra security on your property. Also, these doors are built differently depending on their weight. They can work with just about anything that weighs less than 500 pounds so no matter if they are made from wood, metal or other materials they will not give way which means that you can rest easy knowing that no one can breach your home while you sleep at night!
Up and over doors are also very easy to clean and maintain. Take the Garador Up and Over doors as an example. These doors are built from wooden slats that are filled with high-density foam. This is also one of the reasons why customers love Garador Up and Over doors so much because they don’t require too much attention in terms of maintenance. Other than removing dust-bunnies or grime (if any), you won’t really need to do anything else but keep them clean!
Up and over garage doors will always be popular. They are most probably the only doors on your garage that will be visible from the street.
There are many reasons why up and over doors have kept their popularity, including:
- They look good.
- They open automatically so you can open them without having to get out of your car, which makes it easier when coming home with full hands.
- Being able to drive straight into your garage means you don’t need to worry about reverse parking or squeezing between tight spaces.
However, some people may question whether they do actually save any space in comparison to other types of door such as automatic roller shutter doors (similar to a commercial door) as this definitely takes up less room, which is a valid point that’s worth considering. Do you, for example, want to move your car forward to open the door, or do you have enough driveway space that this wouldn’t be an issue?
