Steel Garage Doors in Edenvale

• 0.5mm to 0.8mm galvanised sheet
• Chromadek or powder-coated to any RAL
• Roll-up, sectional or tip-up

Steel is the most common garage door material in Edenvale for a straightforward reason: it gives the most door for the money and it takes hard use. From the older single garages through Edenvale central and Eastleigh to the wide doubles in Greenstone Hill and Modderfontein, most of what we replace is steel and most of what we fit is steel.

Steel garage doors we supply in Edenvale

• Steel sectional doors in ribbed, panelled and flush profiles.
• Insulated steel doors with a foam core for garages used as rooms or workshops.
• Steel roll-up doors for low-headroom and out-of-square openings.
• Steel tip-up doors on new or existing frames.

Galvanised and coated finishes

Every steel door we supply is galvanised before it is coated, so a scratch stays a scratch rather than becoming a rust line down the panel. On the lower-lying stands near the watercourse that undercoat matters more than average, because a door on that ground will meet damp sooner or later.

Gauge, span and stiffness

A wide double in a light gauge flexes, tracks badly and wears its rollers. We specify the gauge and the reinforcing for the span rather than defaulting to the same panel for every opening.

Steel doors on older openings

Where a reveal has moved with the house, a rigid steel sectional door will bind and wear itself out. We check the opening at survey and either correct it or recommend a steel roll-up curtain instead, which tracks happily in an opening a panelled door cannot cope with. That is an honest recommendation rather than a downgrade.

Matching an estate colour specification

Steel takes a powder-coated finish in effectively any colour, which is what makes it the practical answer on estates with a fixed door colour. We match to the specification and supply it in writing for the architectural committee before manufacture.

Insulated steel garage doors

An insulated steel door is stiffer, quieter and far better where the garage is a workshop, a gym, an office or a flatlet. The noise difference is the one people notice, particularly in a complex where the garage shares a wall with a bedroom.

Security on a steel garage door

Panel strength is only part of it. The locking, the track fixings and, on a motorised door, a drive that holds the door down are what stop a door being lifted. On an older wall the fixing matters more than the panel, and we say so.

Steel or aluminium

Steel is stronger and cheaper; aluminium is lighter and does not corrode. On a working garage, steel with a good coating is usually the better buy. On a damp stand or an estate elevation, aluminium often earns its extra cost. We give you both prices and the reasoning.

The most cost-effective door for most openings. Priced on width and height, panel profile, insulation, coating and automation, after an on-site measure.
