- 40mm insulated panels
- Full perimeter weather seals
- Glazed panel options
A sectional garage door lifts in hinged panels and runs back along the ceiling, which is why it is the standard door on newer Edenvale housing. The developments through Greenstone Hill, Founders Hill and Modderfontein were built with the headroom for it, and it gives the best seal and the best appearance of any garage door type.

- Steel sectional doors in ribbed, panelled and flush profiles.
- Insulated sectional doors with a foam core for garages used as living or work space.
- Aluminium and glazed sections where the door is part of the elevation.

Matching an estate specification
On the newer estates the door profile and colour are frequently fixed by the architectural guidelines, and a replacement that does not match will not be approved. We identify what is currently fitted, build the matching profile, and provide the written specification for the committee before manufacture.
Headroom, side room and square openings
A standard sectional door needs around three hundred millimetres above the opening, clear space each side for the tracks, and a reasonably true reveal. On the older Edenvale housing the reveal is frequently out by enough to make a rigid door bind, and we measure top, middle and bottom and recommend a shutter where that is the honest answer.
Insulated sectional doors
An insulated door makes a real difference where the garage is a workshop, a gym, an office or a flatlet. Insulated panels are also stiffer and considerably quieter, which matters on a wide double and more still in a complex where the garage shares a wall with a bedroom.
Sealing against dust and driven rain
Sectional doors seal better than any other type because the panel face sits against the frame all the way round. Bottom, side and head seals keep out driven rain from Highveld storms, which is the complaint that brings most people to replace an old tip-up door.
Springs, balance and safety
A sectional door is balanced by torsion assemblies, and that balance is what protects the motor. We rate them to the door mass and the cycle count, fit cable safety devices where the design calls for them, and check the balance by hand at every service.
Replacing a tip-up door with a sectional
Common Edenvale work on the older stock. Where the frame is sound it usually stays, the tracks are new, and the opening is measured as it is rather than as the plan says. Where the frame has moved with the house, we say so before quoting rather than after fitting.
What a sectional garage door costs in Edenvale
Priced on width and height, panel type, insulation, finish, automation and any correction the opening needs. Single and double doors are quoted separately because the balance and operator specification changes with the mass.
Common questions
About sectional garage doors
Around 300mm to 450mm of clear space above the lintel for a standard track, though low-headroom kits recover part of that. Measure to the ceiling or the nearest beam, whichever is lower, and send us the figure before you order anything.
The panels are hinged and run on rollers in a track rather than curling around a barrel, and the section joints seal against each other. On an insulated door the foam core also damps the drumming that makes a single-skin door boom.
Yes. Glazed panels can go into any section, most often the second row down so daylight comes in at eye level. Toughened, frosted and tinted glass are all available, and an aluminium-framed full-view door is a step further again.
They have more moving parts than a tip-up door — rollers, hinges, cables and springs — so an annual service matters more. In exchange the wear is spread across many small parts that are cheap to replace individually.
