What You Need to Know Before You Invest in New Garage Doors
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Steven_Holmes]Steven Holmes
What are the benefits of garage doors?
There are a number of benefits to installing garage doors, one of the biggest benefits is that they offer increased security to your home and garage. Most manufactures offer security features as standard but you can also get additional security devices such as an anti-thief back drive which offer further protection to your car and other belongings in your garage. Modern doors also have features which offer increased comfort such as built-in lights which switch on every time you open the door and computer controlled systems which mean the garage doors will open automatically for you. These features will come in very handy on cold, wet and dark nights as you won't have the hassle of having to park and then open them before driving your car in.
What types of garage doors are available?
There's a large selection of garage doors available, and a variety of styles and systems to compliment most types of home. The three main systems available are the screw-drive system which operates by a lifting mechanism which moves along a steel rod and mounts on the garage ceiling. The chain drive system which uses a chain to move the door along a pair of tracks, this system is quite noisy but is often the most affordable. The third system is a computer-controlled system which is becoming increasingly popular. This system doesn't require any chains and the unit sits directly above the door, this is the ideal system if you have limited garage space available. These systems are available in a variety of styles from up and over, side hung and insu-glide garage doors, it all depends on your personal taste and what style you think will best suit your garage and the overall look of your house.
Which is the right company to install your double glazing?
There are hundreds of companies throughout the UK from national chains to local independent companies who can provide you with a great service. You can browse online, visit some local garage door suppliers or seek out recommendations from friends and family. Before you make a final decision though, it is always advisable to seek out quotes from at least three companies to ensure that you receive a professional service at a competitive price. You also need to ensure that your new garage doors conform to EU standards so do your research on the company, their safety features and their products before you sign for anything.
Before you invest in a new set of doors for your garage, make sure that you follow the points above so that you get the best garage doors for your requirements and budget. [http://www.anglianhome.co.uk/garage-doors/]Garage Doors
