Types of garage doors

All of our B&D garage doors are Australian-made and available in two types: roller doors and sectional doors.
  • Roller garage doors

    Roller garage doors are perfect for garages, laneways, and storage sheds. They work by rolling upwards into a tight coil—similar to rolling a carpet—which is situated at the top of the door's frame. This design is efficient as it frees up ceiling space.

    These doors are available with an option to add an automated opener and come with a robust key lock system to deter unauthorised entry. They can also be built to withstand high winds, making them a reliable option for areas that frequently experience cyclones.

  • Sectional garage doors

    Consisting of multiple interconnected panels, sectional garage doors create the appearance of a solid door. They can be customised to various garage shapes and sizes. In contrast to roller doors, these open and close along metal tracks attached to the ceiling. They are customisable in a variety of styles and colours, making them a favourite option for residential properties. This is due to their contemporary look, durability, and practicality.

    Manual operation of garage doors can be a thing of the past with sectional doors, as they are commonly bought with an automatic opener, enhancing security. Most garage doors lack a lock, but B&D's automatic locking system eliminates the need for a manual lock, ensuring that only people with a remote can access the garage.

  • Tilt doors

    Tilt doors are less frequently used for garages due to their safety and security drawbacks, which is why B&D does not manufacture or install them. These doors have visible springs on both sides and are made from a single, heavy piece, rather than having hinged panels. This design places additional strain on the springs and balance mechanism during operation. Worn-out springs can snap unexpectedly, causing the door to crash down, posing a risk to people, pets, and vehicles.

Choosing a garage door style

Garage doors are available in a range of materials, designs, colours, and finishes, ranging from high-end designer doorsto classic looks. Considering that garage doors constitute about 60% of a house's front appearance, they are as crucial to your home's overall aesthetic as the front door, windows, or exterior siding. Choosing a quality garage door is vital.

For a harmonious look with your home's colour palette and other steel elements, COLORBOND garage doors are an excellent choice. On the other hand, Knotwood offers a premium woodgrain finish that mimics the texture and warmth of real timber, providing an earthy and natural appeal.
