Just about to push the button on a new garage door, replacing a tired up and over replaced with a steel side opening (with a middle door) one.
Gunna be over a grand, does this seem ridiculously expensive?
It'll be made to measure, & do have another couple of quotes, which doesn't have the same features (middle door is a major bonus), but still around the same price.
I know I could get a GRP up and over for a third of the price.
I paid £800 for a sectional Hormann door with electric opener - fitted myself. Wasn't made to measure though.
Doesn't seem too unreasonable to me.
CHeers, think I'm worrying too much over nothing.. as in the price difference between a steel and GRP, I know which I'd prefer
Side hinged seem to be expensive for some reason.
I've looked at Teckentrup (aluminium double skin with foam insulation) and Ryterna (steel double skin with foam insulation) and they are all coming to around £1500 which seems a bit daft for something with a simple mechanism.
Aye the fitter sent me to [url= http://www.bgid.co.uk/ ]Brum Garage doors[/url], as he supplies/fit them, his quote was a bit nicer than direct from them.
I'm just about to push the button on a steel side hinged garage door as I'm tired of having using the up and over when the garage is only ever used for storage.
I was quoted £1050 fitted for a side hinged Garador. However I'm going to go with a Cardale and fit it with help from my FIL. Side hinged doors are pre-hung on the frame so should be easy to DIY fit. Cost is £750 including delivery. The Cardale also has the advantage of multipoint locking.
As mentioned above side hinged a more expensive even that motorised sectional doors. If easy pedestrian access is a priority though they are the best option - unless you can afford a sectional with a wicket door.
