Roller garage doors are constructed from narrow slats that roll up into a drum above the door opening. This mechanism is particularly useful in garages where ceiling space is limited or storage is placed overhead.
They’re commonly used in standalone garages or tight-access areas where a swing-out or overhead track system wouldn’t be practical. Their vertical action allows full use of the driveway, even when parked close.
Materials like aluminium or galvanised steel are often used for their lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties. While basic models are manually operated, most installations today include motorised lifting for convenience.
Security is enhanced with locking bars or automated locking systems, especially when doors are integrated into the home’s main entry. Ventilation slots or perforated slats can also be added for airflow.
Roller doors are best suited for single openings and areas with minimal ceiling clearance. Measure the available headroom carefully and ensure the drum unit has enough space to mount securely.
