Roller doors have been a favourite on Australian homes for decades, and for good reason. Here are seven benefits to weigh up if you're choosing a new garage door.
1. Great value
Roller doors are usually the most affordable type of garage door to buy and install, which makes them ideal for budget builds, rentals and sheds.
2. They save space
The door coils neatly into a drum above the opening. It doesn't swing out over the driveway or take up ceiling space inside, which leaves the garage roof clear for storage, lights or a car hoist.
3. Tough and long-lasting
Made from steel such as Colorbond, roller doors stand up to Melbourne's weather, knocks and daily use. With regular care they last for many years.
4. Low maintenance
There are fewer moving parts than on many other door types. Keep the tracks clean, wash the curtain a couple of times a year, and book a service about once a year.
5. Secure
A closed roller door is a solid steel barrier. Automatic openers add further security, because the motor holds the door down when it's closed.
6. Easy to automate
Almost any roller door can be fitted with an automatic opener, with remotes, wall buttons, battery backup and smartphone control.
7. Plenty of colour choice
Roller doors come in a wide range of Colorbond colours and profiles to match your roof and trims, so they can look smart as well as practical.
Is a roller door right for you?
Roller doors suit most standard garages, carports with walls, sheds and commercial buildings. If you need very low headroom, high insulation or a particular architectural look, compare sectional and custom doors too. Browse our roller door range or book a free measure and quote.
