A Guide To Sectional Garage Doors.
A sectional door is made from sturdy panels that run on tracks vertically up and horizontally across the garage ceiling. This type of door is also known as a sliding garage door, an overhead garage door, or an “up and over”.
B&D’s range of sectional doors is called Panelift, which are extremely durable and secure. Since most sectional doors don’t actually lock when they’re closed, enhance the safety of your door with B&D’s Auto-Lock – an innovative, heavy-duty locking bolt that automatically engages every time the door is closed.
If you're considering a purchase, read on for some must-know facts and features of our sectional doors before making a decision.

8. Sectional garage doors can often accommodate windows where other types can’t. Windows on a garage door allow extra light and create a fantastic design element. Take a look at our blog post on adding window inserts for ideas.
9. Insulation is available on all B&D sectional garage doors an excellent feature that keeps your garage cooler in summer and warmer in winter. This is ideal if you use your garage for more than just car storage, such as a home gym, office, or chill-out zone for the kids.
10. Manual garage door operation is possible, but most homeowners opt for an automatic opener. Browse B&D’s range of sectional door openers here. An opener is especially beneficial for large and double sectional garage doors because of their heavier weight.
11. Maintenance of a sectional garage door is simple, but regular servicing is strongly recommended and required to maintain your 10 year warranty. A B&D specialist garage door technician should service all moving parts regularly to ensure your sectional door is operating correctly. It’s recommended to have your sectional door serviced once in the first 12 months, and every two years thereafter. You can book a service to keep your door in top condition.
