Until recently, many mainstream garage door manufacturers have concentrated on up and over doors, but times are changing. Side hinged doors, having always been popular throughout the Midlands, have recently seen their popularity increase throughout other parts of the UK, and there are a number of reasons for this change of heart among garage owners.
Not only are many gas and electric metres located within the garage, many garages are now used for more than simply storing cars. Often, other important household and garden items are kept in garages, and many homeowners utilise the extra space afforded by the garage by converting it into a workshop, office, playroom or additional storage area. This has had the inevitable result of prompting many homeowners to take advantage of the benefits afforded by side hinged garage doors.
By installing this type of garage door it’s possible to access your garage by opening it just half – or even one third – of the door. This is both convenient and secure, as any valuables can be easily hidden away behind the closed part of the door without restricting access.
Of course, as the nationwide popularity of side hinged garage doors has increased, so too has the choice available. Many of the major manufacturers are producing a wide variety of designs, all made using materials such as metal, timber, GRP and uPVC, and most doors are available in both standard and made to measure sizes.
