Ideal for single garage door openings up to about 3 metres (10 feet) as a manually operated door. Although they are manufactured over this size up to 4877mm wide (16 feet) sectional doors tend to be a better option in the larger sizes and a better price too.
Up and over doors are in the main very easy to install, especially if you purchase the door with the optional steel fixing frame as the whole unit comes complete ready to secure to the garage opening with brackets. The double sized doors are a bit more involved with a seperate sub frame and obviously more weight to deal with.
We would advise the up and over garage door if you simply want a door for a garage not requiring brilliant weather protection, sealing or even insulation although the Hormann, Garador and Novoferm doors are about as good as you can get, especially if ordered with the optional steel sub fixing frame and bottom seals. Another reason for having an up and over door is if you require a specific design in timber or GRP as the standard designs available for up and over doors are quite a lot more varied than others. The steel doors available are more limited in designs and will only ever have the smooth finish surface in limited colour options, although great if you want white as this is the industry standard colour.
