Classic styling meets modern functionality - Side hinged garage doors in London

When it comes time to choose a new garage door, most homeowners are understandably focused on price, security, ease of installation, energy efficiency, and longevity. But what if we told you that you can enjoy all of these benefits, and on top of them, have a fabulously styled, charming garage door that completely transforms the look of your property?

Well, indeed you can have all of these benefits and more besides, if you choose a side hinged insulated garage door!

The popular alternative to up and over garage doors in London
There is a reason of course way up and over garage doors in London are so popular. We're certainly not here to deny that fact, they are affordable, easy to install and could be built to fit a wide range of garage door openings and be given one of many different colours and finishes to match an existing property as closely as possible.

No, we’re certainly not going to challenge the long standing credentials of up and over garage doors in London, but what we would like to do is point you in the direction of an alternative option that you may not have considered yet.

Side hinged garage doors in London
Side hinged insulated garage doors have a much more traditional aesthetic that pairs perfectly with older, more traditional-looking properties. These classic style doors open on hinges, in the same way that a barn door does. And whilst they have considerable vintage appeal, when it comes to functionality they are bang up-to-date, featuring high levels of insulation, a range of high-performance materials and highly effective security measures to keep the intruders out.

A side hinged garage door can completely transform the way in which you use your garage. With an up and over garage door, or a sectional door, you obviously need to open the whole frontage to gain access to your garage space/vehicle. However, with a side hinged door you can just open it slightly to allow pedestrian entry and then easily close the door behind you again.

If you use your garage space as a workshop to store your tools, or for doing DIY, or perhaps even as a gym, an outward swinging door gives you maximum internal space. There's also very little to go wrong with a side hinged door, which should save you money in the long run (and hassle of course).
