Types of Overhead Garage Doors
An overhead garage door operates upwards until it reaches an overhead position instead of swinging or sliding open. Some doors open using tracks, hinges, cables on spools or other methods. If you want to maximize storage in your garage or facility, choosing the right type of garage door can help you make the most of your space.
Single-Panel
Single-panel doors consist of one solid slab of wood, steel or another material. They usually have a hinge system to pull them into a horizontal overhead position.
Sectional
Sectional garage doors have multiple panels that open vertically and then hinge as they’re pulled parallel to the ceiling. Sectional doors usually use overhead tracks instead of hinge systems.
Roller Overhead
Rolling garage doors are a great way to optimize space. They open with cables and spools that coil them into a compact roll instead of lying flat.
