We have the following types of garage doors:

Roller Doors

Roller Doors comprise of a ribbed steel curtain that moves vertically in the garage opening and rolls up around a drum, guided by tracks and counterbalanced by springs. They are partiicularly suitable for sheds and garages where there is plenty of headroom above the opening and where a traditional look is required.

Where rear or laneway access is required, the Fenceline Rollerdoor becomes the ideal cost effective solution. Prestige Garage Doors supply the B&D range of Roll-a-Door products.

Sectional Doors

Sectional (panel) Garage Doors are commonly used on new houses where a pattern or style is required to match the style and design of the house. These doors can be made of steel, wood and other materials. The B&D Panelift range offer a broad selection of styles and colours.

Also available are Design-a-Door Sectional Doors consisting of a frame which can be fitted with a variety of different inserts so you are able to create your own style of garage door.

Flex-A-Doors

Flex-A-Doors are commonly used where there is little headroom available

They fit behind the opening and do not protrude forward
like jamb or canopy type tilting doors. This means the door can be
fitted to openings with unusual shapes, such as arches, etc

Externally, Flex-A-Doors look identical to roller doors.

There is another, older type of door that you may come across but we no longer stock, called the Tilt Door. We are able to help you update these older style doors.

Tilt Doors

Tilt Garage Doors comprise of a one piece tilting panel, fitted with pivoting arms at both sides of the opening, which moves out and up from a vertical position into a horizontal position. This style of door has been superseded by Sectional and Flex-A-Doors
