Roller doors are fashionable today, as they have been for many years. In case you need some convincing though, consider the benefits they offer.
Extensive Colour Choice
The garage door covers a large visible area at the front of a home, and thus you need to be able to access plenty of colours to create a coordinated look when selecting a new door. With roller doors, you'll have a wide array of hues to consider, including blue, yellow, tan, cream, green and many other nature-inspired colours. Thus, you'll be able to create the effect you're after without limitations. You could match the door to the external wall cladding to blend the two components. Otherwise, pick a contrasting colour for the garage.
Space-Saving Mechanism
Roller doors are space-saving, both inside and outside the garage. Their neat closing action provides the key, as they roll up into a tight bundle over the entryway when open. This saves space in the garage, as they don't spread across the ceiling — as sectional doors do — and thus take away possible storage or area for a car hoist. Roller doors also preserve the driveway because they don't swing outwards. This allows family and friends to park close to the garage without fear of their car getting damaged as someone opens the garage door from inside.
Security
Roller doors provide a tough, secure option, typically using robust aluminium or steel. While the strength of a particular panel depends on its thickness, steel is generally the stronger of the two metals. Roller doors are sturdy enough for both residential and commercial properties, as they're challenging to get past without a key.
Automatable
You can install an automated roller door which you can operate via remote control. Thus, even in rainy weather, you won't need to get wet to enter your garage.
Enduring
Using metal, roller doors are extremely durable and are able to endure all kinds of weather, from harsh sun to continual rain. Aluminium is not susceptible to rust — as it doesn't contain iron — which makes it ideal if you live near the sea. Steel typically is covered in protective elements that keep rust at bay. For example, galvanised steel has a protective zinc layer. Colorbond features a film of zinc and aluminium, plus a hard layer of shielding paint. Thus, no matter what kind of roller door you install, it should last for many years.
