When choosing a lifting gate for your garage, pay attention to the type of opening. The mechanism that is used to lift the sash is important here. The material from which it will be made is of secondary importance. Therefore, it is better to choose a less expensive door leaf, but a better mechanism for lifting the entire structure. This will prove itself in future operation.
Garage lifting gates have a number of advantages that distinguish them from other types. First of all, this is a free opening, which opens almost completely. This
type of garage door can be divided into several types. For example, at the place of attachment - they are installed in the opening on the street side, inside the opening and on the inside of the room.
The name "garage lifting gates" means that they rise somewhere, freeing the entrance. If the garage is located on the lower floor of the house, then you can install them in such a way that when you open the canvas will move along the front wall. An important condition for good work is the absence of windows in the way of its movement. Typically, in this embodiment, the gates are mounted on the wall without interfering with the movement of the machine.
For a garage that is separate and does not have a second floor, this opening option is not very suitable. In this case, it is better to use a swinging swinging garage door. The advantage of this type is the opening method. The door leaf first rises vertically, and then goes into a horizontal position. In the classic version, the sash is removed under the ceiling, but you can not do this, leaving the canvas hanging on the mounts.
Garage lifting gates can be made of different materials. But it is most convenient to use professional sheets. The shutter turns out easy. And if you decide to insulate the garage, then it will be easy to do by laying a heater between two sheets of corrugated board. For convenience, you can order a canvas with holes, covering them with glass. The size of the window depends on its purpose. A gate is allowed in the door leaf. This is all agreed upon in advance when placing an order.
When buying a lifting gate, pay close attention to the mechanisms. There are also several options. Manual control involves the presence of various rods, shafts and a handle that you will need to twist. Button control simplifies this task, reducing it all to one simple action. But to open the garage door in this way, you need to get out of the car and press this button. The most convenient option is to use a remote control. It seems to be the same button, but you do not need to leave the car.
In order for everything to work perfectly for you and your garage doors to be suitable for you, their sizes must be kept within acceptable limits. The optimum dimensions of the flaps should not exceed 2400 mm, and the weight of the blade should not exceed 20 kg. For other sizes, you should very carefully select all the mechanisms that work on lifting the canvas. Observing these requirements, you will receive excellent lifting garage doors, which will be used for many years.
