Roller Garage Doors are The Perfect Choice for Your London Home.

In the United Kingdom, there is a trend of smaller houses being built which means space is at a premium. To illustrate this, most of the new developments being built in major cities such as London, are amongst the smallest in Europe. Because of this, homeowners are now turning to new ways of maximising usable space in their home.

Today, such constraints have made roller shutter garage doors in London a very attractive proposition. The urban garage is a typically underused space, but with the onset of COVID-19, more and more homeowners have sought to get the most out of their garage. Roller garage doors have now become a very cost-effective solution for owners looking to increase the square footage of space in their property.

What are roller garage doors?

A roller garage door consists of wide slats of single-skinned metal sheeting that are linked together roughly every 750mm to form a single, continuous rolling metal curtain. This curtain is then fastened to, and rolled around, a skeletal drum. Inside this metal drum is a steel tube with a spring wrapped around it.

The steel tube and spring are both linked, so that any force applied to the spring functions as a counterbalance for the door. These elements can be adjusted according to the exact dimensions and weight of the door, to ensure smooth operation.

Why are they so popular?

Roller garage doors in London have gained in popularity because of the many advantageous features they offer. Property owners are increasingly turning to roller doors so that they can store their possessions in their own garage rather than pay for a lock-up at another location, which can be both costly and inconvenient.

Space optimisation

You can place a ceiling storage rack in the space where a standard garage door would occupy, because a roller garage door consumes a very small volume of space by comparison. Additionally, parking closer to the garage door will free up even more floor space.

Safety

Roller shutter doors are both strong and resilient, meaning they can last for decades if they are maintained and looked after, and you can choose from either steel or aluminium.

Furthermore, automated roller garage doors can add an additional level of security to your property. Automation also allows the freedom to open and close the garage door from the comfort of a car, which is an especially attractive feature during the colder months.

Insulation

Save money on your utility expenses by increasing the insulation value of your garage. In addition, external noise is also reduced.

Let’s take a closer look at each solution to determine which one is the better garage door in London.

Can Aluminium Front Doors Offer Additional Protection For Homes in London?

Image
 Aluminium is a very strong and durable metal, so it stands to reason that aluminium doors offer a high level of protection for your home. If we compare aluminium front doors with wooden front doors, aluminium doors are much more difficult to force open with brute force or with a crowbar and power tools.  Aluminium is therefore the ideal material with which to make High Security Front Doors from because it is resistant to impacts and is also resistant to corrosion, meaning they can last an incredibly long time before they need to be replaced. And the benefits of aluminium security doors don’t end there either; other metals such as steel and iron are much heavier than aluminium. That means there is much more versatility in design that can be achieved with aluminium.  If you visit a security door specialist in London such as J.K Security doors, you’ll soon discover that modern High Security Front Doors made with aluminium look truly beautiful. Aluminium as a material len...
