What are Roller Garage Doors?

I've posted about roller garage doors on many occasions, both on this blog and elsewhere, but I just wanted to take things back to basics for a moment. I'm sure you're familiar with 'garage doors', but are you familiar with the ones that roll? If not, please read on!

For years people have enjoyed the convenience and protection of roller garage doors, but to the newbie the question remains: what are roller garage doors?
Roller garage doors are garage doors that slide over the garage opening thus protecting the interior of the garage. These doors offer a variety of great features in regards to convenience, protection, and comfort in knowing that you have a door that can easily be used.

These roller garage doors come in both automatic and manual. You can just reach up and pull them down over the garage opening or you can use a panel or even remote control to control the opening and closing. There are also automatic timers to lower and raise the doors. The features are in that these doors can be customized with insulation and even decorative faces. Some people go to lengths of having some customized artwork like airbrush or decals done on their roller garage doors to spruce them up and stand out.
Another major feature is that these doors provide protection against the heat and cold. When constructed properly they keep that heat in lessening the costs of energy. In the warm and hot months they keep that air conditioning in and if you use your garage for work or play you'll appreciate this bonus. Also they can keep the outside noise levels down as well.

In addition, roller garage doors have safety features to prevent accidentally closing on an object or person. As mentioned earlier, there are various additional features to these devices as well as decorative choices. It's funny to see that there's a secondary market where people actually customize these doors with airbrushed art and even hand painted murals and decals. Let your creative side loose when you install these devices.

So if you're looking for convenience, protection, energy efficiency and peace of mind, you might consider getting roller garage doors to replace the ones you have.
