Added benefits of your door
20/07/2015
Did you know that your garage door can do way more than it may seem? For example, are you aware that a garage door can help to reduce the heating bills on your home? If the answer is no then you may want to read on.
At York Garage Doors, providers of high quality garage doors across the York area of North Yorkshire for over 30 years, we have been helping local families and homeowners get more from their garage door.
With a wide range of different options available on the market right now, including up and over, sectional, side hinged and roller varieties, it can appear to be a complicated choice when choosing a door. Add into this the fact that insulated models are available within some styles and the choice becomes harder.
Thankfully, all you need to do is think about the additional benefits and this should help you make an informed choice.
Below we look at some of the reason why people choose one door over another, and the reasons are all to do with secondary benefits.
A roller door by tradition is more frequently used on shop fronts or commercial buildings, however it has now been used by more and more homeowners for their garage door. Why? Well the roller garage door saves on space and allows you to park your car as close as possible to the door without having to worry about whether the door will open or close. This has benefits both internally and externally. Internally you can store close to it and externally you can maximise driveway space.
Insulated options are all the rage at the moment, however having an insulated door on a standalone garage may not be a good choice. If however you have a garage that is connected to your home, even better if it is under a room, then this can significantly reduce your heating bills. By reducing the heat loss through the walls and out of the building you will see significant savings on your bills.
Finally the benefit of a side hinged door can be great if you do not store a car in the garage. Because you can partially open the door, you can get quick and safe access into the door at all times. This can be great if you store a bike that you use every day, or have an external freezer you need to get to regularly.
There are obviously many more benefits from those listed above and if you would like to know more about the rest, please do not hesitate to give one of our York based team a call today on 01904 275 182.
