If for closing your garage, you opted for garage doors (sectional garage doors), instead of for common overhead doors, prices may vary.
But based on what?
Regarding the construction materials, the required technical characteristics, the options, and the dimensions of the garage door, they range from doors:
- With a wood color or RAL color, with a smooth or embossed stucco finish (which is more resistant to aging, scratches, and weather).
- To complex aluminum doors, insulated and designed to maintain a pleasant temperature both in summer and winter, and resistant to all types of environments.
Depending on the type of sectional doors chosen, final prices vary. Prices start from a minimum of 2500 euros up to more than 5000 euros for models that have various options or large dimensions. Obviously, as for any product, you have to consider many things to evaluate whether the cost is a good deal, cheap products are often not of great quality.
It’s important to ask for a total quote, including installation and transportation of the door, to have an idea of the total cost!
Garage Doors: What to Check in a Quote Besides Prices?
As we said above, let’s see some things to take seriously:
- If a door costs 3000 euros and they charge you 1200 euros just for installation, think about it; you will likely lose what you save now on future maintenance and replacement of accessories.
- Evaluate where the door comes from: search for the company on Google, get an idea of who they are, how they work, and if their customers are satisfied.
- Is the support for the door separate from the possible manufacturing defects? If the seller is not also the manufacturer, you might have problems in the future.
- Try to don’t buy products such as the two lateral counterweight springs, or parachute, as in the metal overhead doors that swing up and down. Ensure that it has a single spring fixed to the lintel: this is called a torsion spring, it is much more durable and does not oscillate.
- Look for a German motorization that does not have less than 80000 life cycles available.
- Make sure the panels are painted and not covered with a film! The film is an obsolete and poor-quality technology. It is applied over the raw surface of the door and peels off in the sun, ruining the aesthetics. Those who still sell them usually don’t say so, offering medium-low prices to favor clearance.
- Find gates perpetually on offer? Ask yourself two questions, recycled materials are also marketed.
- Make sure there are safety devices. He must have at least three, four if the door is present.
